I do love that the mothership is called the Motherflocker. Cute, but gotta wonder how they got something that obvious past the censors, since it's an all-ages game, yes?

Tried the demo from Steam, but gotta say it was too frustrating to warrant a purchase!

Reminds me of the old PC title Sheep [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheep_(video_game)].
The same "Grrr! No! NOT THERE YOU STUPID...! ARGH!" kind of game :)
P.S.
Well it's practically the same game with some new features and more farmyard critters to be frustrated with.
I totally agree, although personally I thought sheep was way more frustrating. If you want a reason to smash your pc into tiny pieces try to find a copy on Ebay.

Arendt, you've got an amazing voice for this. Especially at the end. I was lawling.
The demo of this game is average. I dunno if I would pay for it or not...

Nice review. I have to say though, I am surprised at the number of flocking jokes they made, like the aforementioned motherflocker, but also in the online status for the game; when people look at your profile, it says that you are currently flocking around.
That aside, the barnyard animals are adorable.

Loved the escapist crop circle, you could make a great viral advertising campaign like that.

This game definitely reminds me of sheep, which I found to be often extremely frustrating so I'm more than likely to give this one a miss.

I played the demo of this when it came out on steam. It did irritate me that I didn't really have much "direct" control over anything, I found it a little annoying, kind of like herding animals in real life I suppose. I did like the "love patch" though.

Review: Flock

Flock is the most adorable game that will make you ponder the aerodynamics of your controller.

I think this is the first and only time I've ever even seen Ms. Arendt get even a shade of angry.

Oh, and how come Susan gets to review all the cool casual games and everyone else has to review all the boring crap? Rocks to be Susan. I want your job if you leave.
