A disturbingly difficult and dark tale of a dystopian society.

I'm just glad like nothing like this has ever happened in real life... right?

I now own a virtual grape farm. What's not to love?

Why act out your violent urges in real life, when you can rhythmically smash your opponents' heads to jellied pulps (to thumping techno beats) whilst wearing a tiger mask, in virtual reality.

Plus, the added bonus of no jail time!

Crossbar Impact Simulator 2014

Nearly there.

Audiosurf 2 is what I wanted it to be, sporting better graphics and the truly revolutionary modding system (which I have enjoyed using), allowing you to install mods that completely change gameplay, as well as skins which change the look of the game.

Thankfully a lot of the UI glitches that plagues the game early on have been rectified, but there are still some issues, so if you want something with tons of polish, you should hold back.

Also, unfortunately, last.fm scrobbling support is yet to arrive, which for compulsive scrobblers like myself, is a pain in the posterior. EDIT: Last.fm support has now arrived, but it involves creating a file (with a text editor, this cannot be done within the game at present) with your username and password stored in plaintext. I was hoping for a more elegant solution.

Back to the positive though - gameplay is as smooth as ever, and the new wakeboarding mode (spoiler: you 'jump' before intense sections of track, then glide down whilst doing tricks) is a lot of fun, although it will require you to pick different types of track (ones with varying intensity, as all fast or all slow is no good).

There are also scoreboards so you can smack the excrement out of your friends and other Steam users with your performance on Justin Bieber tunes. Just be careful because these leaderboards sometime wiped between updates (RIP my Daft Punk highscore).

Overall I think it's gr8 (perhaps because my talent is inn8). I r8 8/8 m8 and I eagerly aw8 the next upd8.

I came looking for a complex, balanced multiplayer FPS, with lots of replay value, and a mature community.
Instead I found Conga Simulator 2014.
