Audiosurfing My Anime MP3 Collection!

I’m actually kind of surprised that no one in the anime blogosphere has mentioned Audiosurf, an uber-cool game that takes media player visualizations to the next level. For those who haven’t heard of it, Audiosurf is an independent-developer game that combines rhythm sensibilities (reminiscent of Amplitude/Frequency) with puzzle game mechanics (Kirby’s Avalanche, Puzzle Fighter) and [...]
