As this IGN report states, flOw will be available on December 19 as a premium game on PlayStation Network. The game was developed by students from the USC School of Cinematic Arts, who have formed thatgamecompany, and is the first title by the students to be released by a major publisher. In fact, Sony was so impressed with their work, it has agreed to sign a three-game deal, as well as give the students space on the Sony lot in Santa Monica, California.
“This is a watershed moment in the history of the school,” Dean Elizabeth M. Daley said. “It builds on our tradition of expanding relationships with the professional community, and opens the door for our students and graduates to showcase their creative talents in an incredibly dynamic market.”
No details on the future games were given.

In an investigative report, IGN claims that the PS3 will receive downloadable titles through its online network similar to how Xbox 360 users get access to casual games.
Apparently, That Game Company is looking for a superstar engineer with a strong graphics background to develop an unannounced downloadable title for the PS3 launch in Novemberthat has led IGN to contact the company to clarify the details. It seems that the game will be for a service which will offer downloadable casual games similar to Xbox Live Arcade, and that itll be available on day one. The companys president then went on to say that it will be a port of the companys currently free-to-play web game “flOw“.
Sony would not comment on the matter, but it was only a matter of time before the media giant added a casual games service to its forthcoming console.
