A number of our listeners also enjoy recreational computer games. We encourage this habit. Here are some of Drexzor's recent favorites:
Synaesthete: A rhythm-game based shooter with beautiful graphics and quite innovative gameplay. The view is 3/4 and you maneuver your character around various rooms while shooting monsters. The catch? To shoot them you have to match the beats that go along with the game's (very nice) soundtrack. Somewhere Berzerk hooked up with Beatmania and this game was conceived. This game was developed by a group of Digipen students:
N: Way of The Ninja : An update of this game was recently released for purchase on X-box Live Arcade under the name N+. N+ includes online multi-player which is fiendishly fun. However, this link will give you a free version of the original packed with a ton of user created levels. The level editor on this game is simply stellar. The gameplay itself is 2-d
Not free...but fun:
Audio-Surf : A mixture of a puzzler/shooter/music game. The levels are created by your own audiofiles, or via audio-surf radio. Basically, the contour, difficulty, and speed of the level will be determined by the soundfiles you choose. You maneuver a ship along a mult-laned track trying to avoid grey blocks, and match-up same-colored blocks. Best of all, if you are near an internet connection, you can compete with others to see who is the master of your favorite songs.
J-Unit 1 plays under the name KzooKiller and last he checked had high score on some of Enon's songs.
That's it for now.
