It's the sort of hook this game has over people. It grabs you in ways games have rarely grabbed people before, and is probably one of the top entrants in the Exhibit A line when arguing the "videogames can be art" dealie. So, what we know from his review is basically, if you own a PS3, it's a no-brainer, but don't listen to us, get it from the horse's mouth.

Overall, a very, very artistic and great game. The people that claim video games can't be art, are so, so wrong.

I also found it interesting how even though you have no knowledge about the person you're playing with, and almost no means of communication, the connection you make just seems that much stronger. I stuck with the same person the entire way through my second playthrough. I had only intended to play for a little while to get a few extra trophies, but as soon as the other player appeared, we just set off and explored until the very end.
The big reveals of the environment don't lose their impact when you've already seen them either, it still looks just as amazing.

Everytime I slide down past that column monument, it just...so beautiful.

Very simple tutorial if you can call it that - just on how to move and jump/tweet and the rest is up to you to explore.
The multi-player in this game is unique and I wish more games created the same sort of co-op experience as this one. I like how the ending credits lets you know who the people were that you connected with during your 'journey' - nice touch to put it at the end instead of some out of place name bubble.
Extremely impressed with this game, which I bought on a whim, so much so I may get their other titles.

/wonders if watching it on youtube will suffice.

I don't think it quite moved me to the same degree as it has others though, I've had a few facebook friends post about how its the only video game that made them cry, and I don't get, there was nothing in it that made me want to get all teary. Maybe its an artist thing, cos they were all artists, I dunno. Very cool nonetheless.

Smart move there on the part of TGC, these days Gen Z won't touch many games if they don't have twitter integration.

Not sure what would have made them cry. I got goosebumps a few times from a combination of the music and the awesome reveals, but getting teary from it seems like a bit of a stretch. Maybe they were on their periods.

Icwutudidthar. Yeah I didn't get teary, but the ending was a tad sad, ending a journey always is.

Not "owned" by Sony, but the developers had 3 titles made only on Sony.
