Excellent review.

Btw Li-Ion, I don't think he's criticizing Journey for not being a certain type of game. He's criticizing it for not really being a game at all. I haven't played Journey but from all the other (even positive) reviews on the web it sounds more like a movie or interactive screensaver that a game.

"It is a linear, scripted cinematic experience that costs $15 and lasts about 2 hours. If that sounds more like a movie than a game to you, I don't think you'll find much consolation in the fact that you have to hold down the play button to make it proceed."

This made me LOL.
