They have arrived! Players in the UK & Europe will now be getting an update to flOw along with the PS3 update that will allow them to finally participate in the trophy system!

Happy hunting!

They have arrived! You can now download a patch to “flOw” that will add wonderfully flOw-themed trophies to your game. The UK & Europe will be seeing them in the next couple of weeks, but we don’t have a hard date yet on when they’ll be out.

Happy flOwing!

So… yeah, some of you might have seen this article on Kotaku announcing a UMD bundle by SCEE. Well, the article is how we found out about it, too!

Here’s the rundown:

“The PlayStation Network Collection releases, unearthed by Siliconera, consist of one Power Pack, containing flOw, Syphon Filter: Combat Ops and Beats, and the Puzzle Pack, featuring Lemmings, Go! Puzzle and Go! Sudoku.”

So… yeah, it has been confirmed here (after some hectic phone calling and emailing), but no, we don’t have a price point as of yet. This could be a good thing, though, as the current method of downloading games to your PSP is pretty complicated, and not Mac-friendly, so all of these games could benefit from exposure through the more traditional UMD format. It is SCEE-only right now, with no word on other territories following Europe’s lead on this one. But it seems like you’ll hear about it before we do, so if you pick up on something feel free to post it on our forums.

And hopefully people who wouldn’t have thought of flOw before might give it a whirl and find out they kinda like it, too. =)

Into the Pixel is organized by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences, and each year selects 16 visual works to be displayed as part of their collection, which tours the world over the course of the year.

We are honored to announce that a flOw screenshot has been selected!! We are also honored that we have the distinction of having the only in-game screenshot in this year's collection (the other works are concept art pieces - amazing, amazing, concept art pieces).

You can view the image here:

You will also be able to see the print at E3, Leipzig, and a number of other conferences this year, until the D.I.C.E. summit, at which they auction off the works! So start saving your pennies!
