GodisaGeek: "Ultimately, Ecolibrium isn’t much more than an interesting diversion, offering little in the way of excitement or real variation. To begin with it’s hard to get your head around, and when it later clicks and becomes simple, it gets boring quickly. If you’re not willing to part with your money then progress will be slow-going, and it’s genuinely hard to know who to recommend it to. That being said, a little originality goes a long way, and Ecolibrium certainly has its fair share of that."
indiePub has published its weekly update of new and notable indie games on the Playstation Store Indie Games Channel.
Best bets this week include: Cloudberry Kingdom, a 2D platformer with a random level generator; Draw Slasher, where you use your fingers to save a ninja’s family; Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery, a creative 3D puzzler, PixelJunk Monsters: Ultimate HD, a tower defense game; and Puzzle by Nikoli V Slitherlink, which features 50 Slitherlink puzzles to play.
Ecolibrium, a free-to-play ecosystem simulator, is coming to the North American PlayStation Store February 12, 2013. This is five months after the European release. Prepare for microtransactions if you want to get ahead.
Why in good gaming's name did it take such a simple free title to be finally put up on the store 5 months after the EU release? Does this mean I'll have to wait 5 months+ for the free music app?!
Keep up the free games. Jetpack Joyride and Treasure Park are fun F2P games.
Alice O'Connor: ''For decades you've dreamed about being a space marine, gunning down those rubbery black aliens every night with your pulse rifle. Next week, those dreams will become virtual reality with the PS3 and Vita release of Team17's remade Alien Breed. Oh, and Aliens: Colonial Marines is coming out too. Plus, unrelated to that side-splitting introduction, so is the Dungeon Keeper-inspired Impire.
Here's our list of next week's new releases.''

Could he not at least judge it based upon purchasing instead of the "free" service indicted?
