IM PLAYIN takes a look at the (apparently) relaxing PS4 title, flOw and gives their reasons for finding it less than calming.
"Now don’t worry, I checked up on flOw as well, and while it’s made by the same studio and seemingly offers the same low paced chill fest as Flower, it came with a more reasonable price tag of £3.99, which made it all the more appealing plus, as it turns out, I would have been pissed off if I wasted any more on ‘these’ types of games."

hmmm I already own those games. All I want is Journey alone. I've beaten it probably nearly 20 times.

We are at it again, with five more music tracks from video games that will stick in your head the way they did Hamza's. We have a pretty good selection here, courtesy of the home computer - no console entries this time.
Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars (MS-DOS) - Finding Nicole
Romantic scores are always a pleasure to listen to: Jerry Goldsmith's love theme from Chinatown, the saxophone-filled main menu music from The Blackwell Epiphany and Finding Nicole from Broken Sword are great examples. Nicole Collard is one of the major characters from the series and the primary romantic interest of the series' protagonist, George Stobbart. After listening to this sensual score, you too will fall in love with her!
There's not one thing about this I agree with, including the concept of deciding to review a game they seemingly knew they wouldn't like before they ever tried it. Also, I question the gaming credentials of anyone who found the simple controls frustrating.
