Why I'm thankful for Journey - A story of two brothers

One of the most personal pieces I've ever written, I analyze parallels between my life and the critically acclaimed Journey for PS3.

This is a really good article. I can't even describe it better than that.

Well you could try.

Overhyped game. Loved Flower, but this is just painful to watch and play. Yes, I did finish it by holding up on my controller through the whole game and closing my eyes.

Really?? I as skeptical about this game at first but I bought Journey at the weekend and played it from start to finish first time round. My girlfriend was even intrigued about it and had a shot, that never happens! I actually felt a connection to the character. Artstyle awesome, graphics awesome, soundtrack awesome, story awesome and gameplay simple but awesome. What's not to love?

Dude stop playing games while your girl is screaming down ur neck. Don't take it out on Journey. There's NOTHING painful about Journey unless ur heartless. Seriously. I mean the game doesn't have to be ur taste but painful to watch? Guess ur shooters must be ideal for u huh?

Ok after reading the article I must say to the writer thanks for posting. See this is what Journeys about. No is not a Damn shooter or ur typical game. It's about emotion. Everyone this game touches will relate differently but will understand it's purpose. Unlike dude ^^^^^. I am in no way a good writer as you can tell however I rarely play a game where I wish I could just express though words how I was moved by this game and how amazing it is. Someone said it below me and I totally agree. This IS my game of year. Period.

That article was really nice to read. Journey is my personal GotY so far. I have not played a game this year that I have enjoyed more. I have played through Journey five times. It is so great. I've enjoyed it every time.

On my first playthrough, I had a few people come and go as I made my way through the game. The second playthrough, I decided to play it with someone. I stuck close to him and it much more enjoyable for a reason I still don't know. We worked well together. We never talked except an occasional musical tone. I have great memories of Journey. Memories that I rarely come by these days in video games.

I loved journey but I personally saw it as quest to find peace and happiness in an otherwise forsaken world while joining others who are trying to seek the same thing. To each his own but either way that game is just really well done.

It was amazing. Best downloadable game I have played hands down. Even better than a lot of full releases.

I thought the article was going to tie "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons", an upcoming Downloadable game by Starbreeze studios. Lime Journey, it has an amazing art style and looks promising.
