Go with the flOw..

flOw - flOw is a Flash game created by Jenova Chen and Nicholas Clark. The game involves the player guiding a tiny, aquatic worm-like microorganism through various depths of the ocean to consume other organisms and to evolve their organism as the player advances. It is currently available in both online and as a stand-alone offline download free of charge on Jenova Chen's official website. flOw is part of Chen's thesis research at the University of Southern California's Interactive Media Division and includes an embedded design of DDA (dynamic difficulty adjustment) which allows players with different skill levels to intuitively customize their experience and enjoy the game at their own desired pace. Within the first two weeks following its release, flOw attracted approximately 350,000 downloads. By the time the thatgamecompany website launched, it had increased to more than 600,000 downloads. The latest version, as of November 2006, was released on April 14, 2006. A Sony PlayStation 3 version was announced in May 2006 as a downloadable game via the PlayStation Store. This version was developed by thatgamecompany and released in America on February 22 2007 for $7.99 USD, and was released in the UK on March 30 2007 for £3.49 GBP. - answers.com

Have you ever played this game? Its on the PlayStation Portable and also on the PlayStation 3 and its simple enough.. you just control this organism-like organism and go through this water-like environment wherein you eat smaller organisms or make your way to grow bigger. Simple and addictive as others implied on the game.. Of course, you progress deeper and deeper and you are also able to be another organism with different traits and abilities like being fast, being invisible, or the other traits that you just have to find out while you play the game.. So, have you played it? How did you find the game? Interesting and addictive?

Sorry dude, still dont have a PSP. Know those kinds of games though and actually got addicted to it. The very first one that I played was 'Fishy' (not sure if thats the right title). An online flash game where I start out as a really small fish and eat the even smaller fish to grow bigger. Then get up on the food chain. Just dont let other big fish eat ya. Controlled by the arrow keys and I remember that it kept me up until 3.30AM just playing. Good thing I won(Im the biggest fish and killed all of the ecosystem) that night or I mightve extended my play.LOL We have a Gamehouse version of the game and has the title 'Feeding Frenzy'. more levels and backdrops, different kinds of fish and some mermaids and pearls too. Havent been able to defeat the fish king of some sort. Someday I will.LOL

That game you described closely resembles the game I mentioned.. Hmmm, it kept you up until three in the morning? I guess variety is the only thing the flOw lacks.. there isn't any options to change as well.. but, as the game would imply.. 'life can be simple' that is eat or be eaten.. Well, if ever your interested on getting one, I suggest the earlier versions since the new ones that just came up recently, they say, can't be modified to play games from the Memory Stick.. I wonder how those who modified the first available PSPs would get around the defensive design of the newly released PSPs..

yep, but am aware of the time though(not like my Mom who slept at 4AM just playing on her computer.LOL!) simple games tend to be one of the best(like Pacman or Super Mario) technical stuff dude, air head on that department.

Our moms should be playing with each other! yeah, PacMan does make like more simpler.. Just get the older versions... can easily be modified than the newly released models.
