It's hard to read about any other game but GTA IV these days, but there's one coming tomorrow that deserves your thumb-time. It's called echochrome - and the lower case spelling hints at the poetic ambition. When this game was unveiled at E3, we in our seats let out a collective "wow cool." The game is elegantly simple - a MC Escher pencil drawn puzzle game that feels like a super-arty Tetris for the 21st Century.
The lo-fi beauty of the game is a perfect counterpoint to GTA IV - proving how vidgames don't have to be blockbuster violent immersive world epics to deserve attention, or define an entire industry. The timing of its release couldn't be better.
