    So I want to buy a "pick up and play" game.  What I mean by that is a fun game you can just play that doesn't have much frustration and you just want to play for a few minutes to a half hour just to relax.  I've been looking at both flower and Noby Noby Boy, and both seem to pretty fun.  So my question is, which of these have most value in them?  Which do you think is more fun to play, has more replay value, best for trophies, etc.  Or do you think $15 is a good amount to spend for both of them?  Thanks for your input.

    I'm interested in Noby Noby Boy. It just looks too obscure to pass up.

    Noby Noby Boy sounds more like what you're looking for in that case. Also, we need more people to buy this game. More content if we get more players, meaning MORE fun! If that is possible! I really would love to see what they add, especially when there is already so much to see.

    Noby Noby Boy makes me wonder if I'm going insane every time I play it. So the answer is Noby Noby Boy.

    Then buy Noby Noby Boy, and whenever a pyramid shows up, stretch out and topple it. I've been to a totally Egyptian area in a desert with pharaohs, sphinxes, and big pyramids, but I've also seen a cardboard box pyramid.

    I just bought Noby Noby Boy on a whim because I had $5 to spend on PSN, and it looks crazy. I need to play more of it, but it looks interesting (really weird, actually). However, my experience with flower was unforgettable, so that is $10 right there. I suggest both, because they are both small, very unique titles.

    I have not played Noby Noby Boy yet, but Flower was fantastic. I don't think you can really go wrong picking one, they both seem great.

    Noby Noby Boy has more value IMO.

    Flower has better graphics and sound, and has goals, but it's more short lived.

    Noby Noby Boy seems to have a huge amount of stuff to do, but without direction of goals some people might tire of it very fast.  It's a true sand box.

    I'm in love with both, but I  wouldn't pass up Flower for anything out right now, it's absolutely fantastic. But you should get Noby Noby Boy sooner or later, it's really funny, and it's only $5. :)

    Flower is my sound advise.
    Then 30 minutes later, when it's over, buy Noby Noby Boy (it's just 4€ dude).

    I enjoyed flower more. It had more direction (as opposed to none). Both are pretty decent though, and Noby is much cheaper.

    Flower is the better game experience.  Noby Noby Boy is more a sandbox experience, than it is an actual game. 

    I think Flower is a MUST PLAY game, Though I have to say, both are "love it or hate it" games.

    But yeah, short answer - Flower.

    Have you played both of the games or are you just a troll?

    I just got flower last night and really enjoy it so far. Still contemplating whether to get Pxl Junk Monsters, Eden, or Noby Noby Boy

    Thank you all for the input. I ended up buying both, and am intensely satisfied. flower is a beautiful experience that shouldn't be missed; the back half of that game shouldn't be there though, it feels kinda out of place.  Now NOBY NOBY BOY... that... umm... man, that game is awesome. No point to the game whatsoever, but it's just soooo funny.

    You did good.

    They are both awesome, and remember there is a point to Noby Noby Boy, to make the girl grow, now go contribute!
