  • AudioSurf going for $2.49 on Steam

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

How do you buy it? I'm not familiar with Steam.

and then if you reformat, or get another computer, or just have another computer, you can download your game as many times as you desire (which is why I don't like other online retailers and their non-hardcopy games). The only catch when downloading a game to several computers is that you can only play it when you are connected to steam, so only one computer can access your games at once. So I can play Dawn of War on my laptop or my desktop, just not at the same time.

Its a cool little application, which is what i would call it, not a game. In fact, $2.50 is a good price, i would feel ripped off at $10.

Embarrassingly, the best ride is when i played Ace of Base - Wonderful Life, lol.

I bought it too. It's fun, certainly worth this price.

Bovine recommends for such a slight cost.

Heh, you should try some Aphex Twin (or similar) on the game. The track moves as erratic as the song does. It constantly speeds up and slows down to a crawl.

It's neat that it adapts to different music types.
