    The gameplay of the PixelJunk games combined with the audio of Flower and the graphical style of Trine is game like The Undergarden you gonna get. A good and very peaceful PlayStation Network title that is relaxed to play. One of the best PSN games at the moment.

    It isn't about super tight controls, an engrossing storyline, or intensely challenging puzzles that will tax you to the limits. It's about huddling beneath a warm, velvety quilt that imparts a very comforting feeling.

    While the game doesn't drive you to finish it, and isn't the best platformer to come out in recent months, it still has undeniable quality with generally awesome aesthetics.

    The laidback atmosphere and gentle flower tending hide a game that is far too predictable and frustrating to offer any lasting entertainment.

    Think Flow meets the Teletubbies with a drizzle of Gardener's Question Time, so long as the question is 'can I blow up those rocks with exploding fruit?' Brilliantly, the answer is yes, as you drag your chubby little pixie through underwater caves, pollinating flowers and solving puzzles using different fruits. Some float, some sink, some power machines with electricity, and all have to be pulled around behind you, which is weirdly both relaxing and satisfying. Watching the flora burst into life at your touch is so pretty you can imagine them prescribing this to the violently deranged as therapy: 'There Roger, watch the little pixie and put the machete down, eh?' There's not much depth, but plenty of eye candy, puzzling and cute.… Expand
