"journey" puts you in control of a robed creature at the beginning of a long trip. the only thing the game shows you is a mountain in the distance with light shooting skyward. there is no heads up display, no tutorials, no text, and no directions- you're simply on a journey.
i absolutely loved this game. i could go on and on about journey, but alex navarro of giantbomb.com, my go-to videogame website, has said it all. check out the review @ http://www.giantbomb.com/journey/61-31772/reviews/.
the music throughout the journey is incredible! if i had to choose my favorite track, though, it's "i was born for this." the music absolutely sounds like a journey.
there are some really amazing things happening in the game world right now from smaller developer studios. you might remember me mentioning both "braid" by jonathon blow and "bastion" by greg kasavin and supergiant games. what a great coincidence it is that all three of these games are incredible experiences with amazing music!
enjoy,
