Today’s quite the busy day with the release of Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time and Forza Motorsport 3. I ordered both, but only one compelled NeoGAF’s musical talent to assemble an electronic album.
NeoGAF’s sixth G.A.M.E. dubbed “Forza Motorsport Edition” features over an hour and a half’s worth of cruising music. Much like with G.A.M.E. 3.0, this album fits the intended game like a glove. As I was listening through the album I couldn’t help, but picture some of these tracks in one of Turn10′s montages. Quite excellent.
Even if you’re not picking up Forza Motorsport 3, I urge you to give this album a listen. Download link and track list are below for your convenience.

NeoGAF’s fifth compilation release of Gaming Art Musica Electronia (G.A.M.E) is here!
As the album cover suggests, this release features more of a summer vibe. I haven’t given the album a full listen through yet, but so far so good!

More Guitar Hero this year.
Guitar Hero 5 is self explanatory, but the other two new franchises could use a bit of explaining. And here I go:
- DJ Hero will use the new turntable controller and situate itself within the “hip-hop, R&B, Motown, electronica and dance” music genres.
- Band Hero is confusing the moniker used to describe what will essentially be “Guitar Hero for kids”. Expect “Top 40″ hits styled music.
With music game revenue down 36% for the first quarter of 2009, it’ll be interesting to see if these new franchises will spark interest with new audiences. I personally haven’t played a single one of these music games and I don’t intend to.
Not many flash games games out there like this Auditorium game. It puzzle game. It has music. It has pretty colors and it is free. Well, the demo is at least. The developers are seeking donations for a higher quality version — perhaps even on a console.
It’s simplicity is its greatest strength. I’m fond of its presentation and the instant feedback given for even the tiniest of attempts. It’s well worth a peek at least.
NeoGAF’s musical talent put together their third electronic music album just in time for the PlayStation Network release of WipEout HD. Since WipEout HD support custom soundtracks, I highly recommend that you grab a copy of G.A.M.E. 3.0 and inject it into WipEout HD for expanded awesome.

slotMusic is nothing more than a MicroSD card filled with music. However, seeing how music publishers are so desperate to cling onto a physical format of some kind, this shouldn’t be surprising to many people. I give them effort for trying, but why would anyone with a computer support this?
Up to 320 kbps MP3 encoding you say? No, thanks. You can keep it.
Apple had a conference today announcing a refresh of their iPod lineup. Some new things including the return of the tall and thin Nano. I wasn’t a big fan of the the short and wide 3G.
Obviously you can visit Apple.ca for details and nifty videos, but if you’re lazy here’s the breakdown:
