Journey
Everyone ready for some Journey?
Whoa, wait. Put down the karaoke mic. And you, in the corner. If you don’t stop “don’t stop BELIEVIN’” under your breath, I’m going to strangle you with this microphone cord. (Not really.) (Really.)
Journey. For the PlayStation 3. By thatgamecompany. Won a ridiculous number of awards, including Game of the Year from GameSpot, Entertainment Weekly, IGN, etc. The musical score has been nominated for a Grammy. Here’s a promo image to make sure we’re on the same page:
I picked this up from the PSN just after Christmas, when it was on sale for $7 and some change. If we’re going to be friends, there are some things you should know about me: I can’t resist the color red. Seriously, if you put anything red and shiny in front of me, you will capture my attention. I’m worse than Jeremy the crow over here. (That is an oldschool The Secret of NIMH reference, educate yourselves.) Furthermore, I have a not-so-secret yen for Lisa Snellings’ poppet figurines and this entire game can basically be construed as the universe next door to Snellings’ Poppet Planet. Except without the creepiness some people insist the poppets carry. (People who won’t let me bring any of those poppets home. Not naming any husband names here.)
I don't suppose I'm helping my own point here.
