Audio-Surf Kicks Ass

2 Replies

Oh my God, Oh my God… This has to be the most original & fun game released since Portal. Audio-Surf is a game that is a cross between R-Type, Guitar Hero, Columns, Wipeout and probably some other games I can’t think of now. Audio-Surf builds puzzles based upon the music track you select to play.

Example: Nine Inch Nails – The Wretched (Version)

Every element is based upon the song you chose, and you can compete against other peoples scores on a particular song. All in all one seriously cool idea for a game.

You can get the Demo from the Audio-Surf website or buy it through Steam (*It’s Only US$9.95 – About AU$12*)

UPDATE
I thought I would add some more info to this.

Audio-Surf is actually produced by and independent designer, so don’t expect to see it in the shops. At present the only place you can buy it is Steam. If you don’t like Steam then see this thread.

OpenTTD is a clone of the Microprose game “Transport Tycoon Deluxe“, a popular game originally written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.

It also happens to be a favourite of mine, considering I played to original game before Transport Tycoon Deluxe came along.

Battlefield 2 Stats Outage Compensation

Leave a Reply

Following the June outage of Battlefield 2 stats, DICE and EA have been working to compensate all players who were active during that time for the inconvenience that we realize this issue represented. After examining all the options, it has been decided that players who were active during the stats outage will be granted 2000 points as well as a gold star. This will be awarded to over 150,000 affected players starting at 12:00AM PST August 8, 2007.

Additionally, it was recently discovered that stats from some 64 player servers during the outage period could not be recovered as we had previously believed and sincerely hoped. Stats from smaller servers were unaffected. However, we realize and recognize this still represents a disappointing loss of both time and points to a great deal of players. We want to apologize for that unanticipated outcome, and wish we could provide additional compensation.

We hope that this compensation goes some way towards easing the loss, and wish to again apologize for the frustration this stats issue represented for many of you.

The Mating Call of the Noob

Leave a Reply

This is one of the most often heard calls when playing Battlefield 2, it is often cried out by dirty little pre-teen stains in their fathers pants. It can consist of words like, Cheater, Hacker, Haxor etc. or usually a statement about how they think that someone is cheating when that person is clearly not. For example being a commander and some noob saying, “Player X is getting score, he’s doing nothing but he’s earning points”. Also the noob will often use leet-speak (poorly, and excessively). Persoanlly I think leet-speak is lame.
