Since its release two weeks ago, Audiosurf has taken the world by storm. Hats off to Dylan Fitterer, the game’s creator, for making a fun, addictive game that has all of us digging through our music collections for new music and old favorites to "ride." The critics are raving as well: GamesRadar claims Audiosurf offers "a near-religious musical gaming experience," 1UP calls it "the best possible excuse to rediscover your CD/MP3 collection," and Bit-tech.net states "Audiosurf is not just another music game – it’s the logical extension of all music games, wrapped up and tailored especially for the best of all platforms, the PC."
The Half-Life 2 mod Pirates, Vikings, and Knights II received lots of praise when it unleashed its polished, fast-paced multiplayer game modes. The team just released its beta 2.0 release, which features an improved melee combat system, new maps, and new classes to play—including the peg-legged Pirate Captain, who’s parrot doubles as one of most unique support classes we’ve seen in some time.
