Echochrome is a videogame adaptation of the drawings of MC Escher. When it's released for the PlayStation Portable later this year, you'll be taking care of a tireless little marionette as he trudges through a series of paradoxical staircases and impossible corridors. At the end of the last level, the camera will no doubt zoom in on the marionette's hands and you'll realise that he is actually playing you.
Although Echochrome looks like it might be one of the mostinfuriatinggamesever devised, it does make you wonder why more video games don't plunder the world of visual arts.
This news is a few months old now. The game won't be out until March 2008, according to reports. See the trailer from E3 and other videos.

That looks completely awesome. I'm not likely to get a PSP just for it, but still, rad. Kinda wish it was on DS. Doesn't the stylus interface seem like a more natural fit?
