Music Racer: Ultimate Review

Developed by AbstractArt, Light Road Games and published by Sometimes You. Music Racer: Ultimate is a rhythm game released on the Xbox One, Series S/X, and Playstation 4/5 on the 3rd of March 2022. It's the successor to the popular Music Racer. So how does this Music Racer: Ultimate review fare? Music Racer: Ultimate - Highway To Headache Town So have to admit that I have never played a rhythm game before. I know there are tons out there with Guitar Hero being the obvious choice among gamers. But the appeal of racing down a track in a fast car and hitting the right notes to the beat of the music seemed like a perfect fit for me. So let's see if I crash and burn in this Music Racer: Ultimate review. If you enjoyed this review then why not check out my latest one here. You can also catc...

Hush: Crane – An Interview with Co-Founder Jack Attridge

Breaking down the boundaries of interaction, for me that is where gaming gets interesting. Something a little different from button mashing or learning sequences of moves. Hush: Crane by developers Flavourworks, gives gamers a glimpse of how immersion can reach a new level. Using amazing-looking FMV and an engine known as "TouchVideo", your touch-screen gestures transition to real-world movements and actions. Each decision affects the story and sends you down a unique path. A taster of what is coming can be found for free on the Samsung Galaxy store, just look up "Hush: Crane" or click here. Having played the available episode multiple times, I was amazed at how many different outcomes there were in just the short time I had to play. Running just like you are in a movie, you can pan and...
