I gave up on Mirror's Edge after repeating some level a couple dozen times. I really wanted to like the game, but when they decided to make the game about combat instead of about running around like a badass ninja, I could not continue. The combat was just too terrible.

I also never got past the first boss in Devil May Cry. He had some kind of attack that would never miss or something. It was the closest I ever got to breaking a controller.

I've thought about this before as well, and I always run up against a barrier: The game doesn't know in advance what the player is going to do, so it's hard to have music that "builds up". The player might decide to just hold off shooting the boss the one last time it would take to finish him off and win the game, but your music engine can't predict that. It's a tricky problem.

Now if I could run it on my computer, I would definitely get it!

Have you tried the demo? It doesn't have very high system requirements.

Torchlight is a pretty nifty Diablo-style action RPG made by Runic Games. A lot of the studio is made up of ex-Blizzard employees. This game is only $20 on Steam and through some other direct-download services. The boxed version will be available early next year.

Screenshots:

Hidden content (Click to reveal)

Some game info in handy bullet-point format:

Is a Diablo-style action RPG.
Includes three playable classes, which boil down essentially to melee fighter, ranged fighter, and magician.
Uses a Diablo/WoW style loot system, with common, rare, unique, and set items, and socketable gems.
Has a Pet companion system. Your pet can carry additional loot, and you can send your pet back to town to sell your extra items without interrupting your game.
Has four difficulty levels, plus "hardcode" mode, where your character can only die once.
Has an endless dungeon available after you complete the main quest.
Has an "heirloom" system, which allows you to retire a character and transfer one of its items to a new character.
Lets you transfer items between your characters.
Includes a full-featured editor that can be used to create new fixed and random maps, add new items, monsters, etc. (Runic used it to make the game content.)

It's really good, guys. It's basically like they took Diablo and condensed it down into a shorter game that gives you more fun earlier on.

The only real downside is that it's single-player only. It would have been great fun to romp around the dungeon with some friends, but Runic is currently developing an MMORPG in this game's style, so in fact pretty soon we'll be able to do just that. :)

Come on, people. It's twenty bucks for a very polished game. Check it out.

Bump.

If you own a PS3 and you do not purchase this game, you are making a big mistake. I'm pretty sure this is going to be remembered as the best game of this console generation. It's currently ranked as the 8th best game ever. Buy it, idiots!

I hope this comes out over Steam. I might buy it in box, but I'd prefer to use Steam. I can't see why Gearbox wouldn't release it over Steam when Valve and Gearbox have worked so closely together in the past: maybe they had a falling out? I hope not, since this looks really good.

You're in luck, my friend!

Any way you could get a picture of this? This sounds pretty weird.

Maybe you should post your solution so that future readers can benefit from it, rather than just requesting a topic closure.

This is pretty damn cool:

Korg released a synthesizer cart for the DS awhile ago and I didn't even hear about it until last week. The cart uses the DS's sound hardware to emulate a sequencer, analog synthesizer, and drum machine.

You use virtual knobs and buttons on the touch screen to interact with the virtual synthesizer. It supports saving 16 16-beat patterns per song, and you can arrange up to 100 patterns to make a complete tune. And of course you can screw around with how it sounds while it's playing.

Here's a cool video of someone messing around on it:

BUT WAIT! You can even wirelessly connect multiple carts and use them all together. Here's a dude doing that:

One thing to make clear: it's not really a game. There's no goal. It's a little musical instrument.

I ordered this on Amazon because I couldn't find it nearby anywhere and have just started playing around with it. Check it out if you like this sort of thing.

EDIT: think I'll just edit in this other video here
