    This is one wierd, game?

    Linger in Shadows is one of those games you buy for $3 of the PS store, not knowing really what you are going into even. It starts out playing a movie of some sort with pretty good looking graphics. Then it will stop every once and a while and you have to push some buttons or move to SIXAXIS. You can interact with this black smoke while the video plays, and a lot of weird stuff is happening during the video too, a stoner or drugie could probably be occupied fairly easy with this one. This so called video lasts about 1min. and there is a huge cat on a building, and a giant dog barking while floating in mid air. Coming from a tunnel is a weird mask looking thing, and you can make it spin as the video plays.
     
    The video I must admit is quite appealing, but have no clue what I have just seen, or really what to do. It was also the easiest 14 trophies I have gotten to date, as you can get them all going even 1 time through, you'll just have to know where to stop the video and look around for a piece of a puzzle or some sort, then a wheel containing these pieces will appear showing that you found one, and there are about 7 or 8 of them.
     
    Overall, Linger in the Shadows is one weird video game thingy, and well I wouldn't really say it is all that great or worth it, but you do get pretty much 14 free trophies, and over half of them are silver also, and the rest being bronze. My experience with this was a wierd one, and I'll have to give it 2 stars, as it isn't really much but a trippy weird 1min video that looks fairly cool, and will actually keep you interested for the full time. And after the video, you'll just take a hard look and say "What the F**k!"

      WTF? ...wait, I kinda like this thing! 0

      Can I review something that is not really a game?  Well, I'm being charged for it, so I guess that’s a yes. I found myself purchasing this demoscene (unlike the other demoscenes I’ve heard about, this one is interactive) from PSN for about $2.99. So, the first thing I did was just watch the thing and then I interacted with it. Before I continue I have to say that although I enjoy art, I have little cultured in said area. Asa  demoscene, Linger in Shadows almost seems to offer an epoch of an al...

      Grab your Sixaxis controller and prepare to be underwhelmed by this demo-scene art project. 0

      Linger in Shadows is an unusual ‘demoscene’ interactive art project that was released digitally by Sony for the Playstation 3 that went wholly unnoticed at the time and playing it now has highlighted why its short unfulfilling premise didn’t land.With the Playstation Now subscription service about to be abandoned and folded into the tiered Playstation Plus service, I felt it fitting to take a look through the games on offer before they potentially disappeared. In amongst the la...
