We discuss art game Flower. Just how did this unusual game about petals wheedle its way into out affections, and what on earth should you play next?

Before the tape started rolling, here are our scribbled notes.

I reviewed Flower PS3 with a little ditty, that part you know. But here's the whole story about how it happened and what it all meant to the universe.

Welcome to the first of my live shows on Game People. I'm going to take you on a little trip down memory lane. I'm starting with Flower, a couple of songs into the project, because this particular song is helpful to talk about the project as a whole.

Here is my musical review of Flower on the PS3, I've called it 'This Poem'.

I never thought such a small game could make me feel so many emotions in such a small space of time. Flower is meditative and relaxing, but also uncomfortable and exhilarating in those last few sections. I felt surprisingly protective over the beautiful early world - particularly when it changes later with decay and darkness - the feeling of anger I experienced over what happens was close to shocking.

This is a truly unique game and by wearing its heart on its sleeve Flower showed me what giddy heights videogames can achieve within the medium. It wasn't as accessible as I'd hoped it would be for the family, but it became a personal journey far more beautiful and moving than I ever dreamed it could be.

Flower is probably the most relaxing game I have ever played, everything comes together a simple relaxing experience, what more would expect from a game in which you control the gentle breeze.

The basis of the game is simply that you travel through the immense landscapes visiting other flowers and helping them blossom. This is a game to relax with, this is a I have had a hard day, I want some me time game. Amusingly enough this game also rewards the player for taking a break of 3 minutes to "reminisce", 10 minutes and a week so the concept and story of the game extend past the boundaries of the game play itself.

Five second reviews. Written, folded and photographed by hand for your pleasure. My haikvu's bring you bite sized hand sculpted game reviews. They combine the Japanese art of origami with haiku poetry.

Flower delivers another emotional experience. After our review song and guide, we settle down for some time with Adam and his family to find out how they got on with it.

Games can sometimes do the extraordinary. At their best they provide experience as unique as they are personal. This has happened to me whilst playing certain RPG's like Lost Odyssey that have sweeping storylines and complex, often flawed, characters. But I didn't expect to get such a feeling when I downloaded Flower from the PSN Store. The simply charm and stunning beauty of the game deepened into a far more emotional experience than I was expecting and proved that videogames can ascend to a more artistic level. However, for the family it proved strangely inaccessible and I was left to play this moving game far more privately than I expected.

Flower is a downloadable game on PS3 with a heart bigger than its price tag would suggest. As the follow up to Flow - a game where motion controls were used to guide a prosaic creature to consume other invertebrates - it provides a more directed experience that is both unusual and simple.

Adventuring games are enjoyed for two reasons: they provide enemy encounters that require tactics and strategy to conquer, and they create a fantasy world in which to explore and adventure.
