[GAMBIT-UROPS-summon] [Gambit-games] Friday Games @ GAMBIT - A Journey Through That Game Company

[Matthew J Weise]

Journey was released on Playstation Network this week, to expected critical
acclaim. It's the third official game by That Game Company, the Santa
Monica-based game studio founded by graduates of USC's Interactive Media
Division. Conceived as the video game variant of USC's world famous film
program, That Game Company is seen by many as one of the first success stories
of how university-based game education can produce financially successful
visionary artists. They are one of the few game companies whose work has been
marketed as art, with experimental mechanics, highly stylized graphics, and
idea-driven experience design seen as the main selling point.

This Friday we will go through several of their games, beginning with their USC
student project, Cloud, a game which bares almost all the marks of their
commercial work.

- Cloud
- Flow (original flash version)
- Flow (commercial PS3 version)
- Flower
- Journey

Join us in the GAMBIT lounge Friday at 4pm. As always, there will be cookies.
