GameStop just dropped the DS port of Grasshopper Manufacture’s weird Flower, Sun, and Rain to $20. While a $10 price drop on the Suda 51-created adventure isn’t as thrilling as, say, the $9.99 price point that everyone will jump on, it’s still a price drop, and more importantly, it’s an excuse to link to this!

Matt “Fort90” Hawkins named Flower, Sun, and Rain his favorite game of 2009!

Not saying it’s the best playing game of 09, but it is without a doubt the most daring and easily the most interesting (the fact that it’s a remake of an obscure, import only PS2 title makes it all the more awkward and fitting).

He goes on to say that it’s okay if you tried the game and couldn’t get into it, which is the situation I unfortunately found myself in. I loved the world, the characters, the creepy, uneasy feeling about everything — I loved everything but trying to figure out the damn numbers for all the puzzles.

Even though it didn’t exactly work out for me, I respect this choice, because it’s interesting. And as someone who nominated Little King’s Story as the GOTY for a major website, I appreciate unusual choices! (I’m totally right about Little King’s Story).

Buy: Flower, Sun, and Rain ($19.99 @ Amazon, in stock)
