GOOD! As much as people loved The Walking Dead, I thought Journey deserved the Nobel Prize of games last year.

I want to play this game really bad, but I don't want to buy a PS3 to do it.

I hate that. I wish the Xbox could make it as pretty as the PS3 did and I wish they would get it on the PC. It would have done better if it had a larger audience I think.

You really think that the 360 could keep Journey looking as it did and running as flawlessly on the PS3? I doubt it.
