With 110,000 downloads and counting, fl0w has managed to be the top selling PlayStation Store game so far. thatgamecompany wanted to create a new kind of game that broke through traditional conventions: considering its success so far, it appears that the experiment is working.

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!
Over Tekken 5!? Wow..
you always bring up the xbox on every ps3 thread don`t you? jeez!
nice, i will download it too when i get a PS3 (hopefully this march... EU)
between the 360 download games and the PS3 download games is that PS3 accually makes them for the system and is bringing something new to the table while the 360 just tries to be a bad VC. 360 may get more downloads but PS3 owners get quaility download titles. Hate to start a war but this is o so true.
I love that Sony are releasing original games for PSN. Hopefully we'll see classic arcade games as well but this is a good thing for smaller devs looking to get their feet wet. The low risk environment means devs can try some really different ideas rather than just stuff they know sells. This could be how the next big idea comes out. Its this sort of creativity that can lead to ideas like LittleBigPlanet, you know that game I keep raving about.
Cant wait to see what their next game is, as well as Calling all Cars.
