Sometimes you don’t want to shoot things. Sometimes you just want to fly. Relaxation and peace is what you’ll find in one of the PS3’s best and unique games,

When playing, the point of the game seems almost arbitrary as the music and landscapes completely hypnotize the senses. The sheer beauty and simplicity of the game is hard to ignore.
