Audiosurf – A Custom PC Game

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

I can’t take credit for finding this one. I can’t even play it! This is a game for all you PC users out there. And my brother showed me the ropes on his computer so I thought I’d just share.

Audiosurf! It’s so cool I wish I could play it, but it requires Steam and a PC computer with Windows 2000 or later. What is does though, is you connect it to any music folder on your computer, including iTunes and it plays almost any song you want and makes a custom track for it. A pattern we noted, usually mellow songs have an upward slanting track, while more energetic, forceful songs have a downward track. Anyways, the obect of this game is usually to hit the colored blocks on the track while your favorite song plays. Although the specific game play somewhat differs depending on what character and level you pick before the song begins.

Either way, I think it’s a brilliant use of integration between a personal music collection and the game. And it analyzes and loads quite fast! You can even compare your score to other players online. I am very impressed. So try out that free demo, PC gamers, and tell me what you think! If you really enjoy it, it’s just $9.99 for the full version.

EDIT: Mac users, you can play this if you have Crossover Games. Just be sure you also have Steam installed!
