Play music. Well I’ve always had a bit of interest in attempting to play music but the closest I’ve ever come to that is Guitar Hero and, well, I’m not quite playing it there am I? I’m just smooshing some colours alongside the music when the game tells me to. Infact, no game has really allowed you to alter the music or direct it in any shape or form. Beatbuddy has lofty ambitions of allowing this to happen.
You may remember from a week ago that I reviewed The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing which I quite enjoyed. Of course the strange thing is, the game documented only one adventure of Van Helsing and the title implies plurality.. Well here it is, the reveal that the second incredible adventure of Van Helsing is now being documented for our pleasure.
Eugen Systems are a bit of a favorite of mine, being developers of strategy games. More often than not these strategy games are ones with a difference, further increasing my interest. I’ve followed them ever since I picked up Act of War on a whim back when high-street retailers actually stocked PC games and now, eight years and five games later, I’m playing the second in the Wargame franchise.

For a long time this aspect of the PC has been missing and the only figures really known by the public have been retail sales, which are widely available to scrutinise. Of course the issue with this is that the digital market has been the superior one on the PC for some time now, or at least all
War, huh. Good god, y’all. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. That’s what Edwin Starr thought anyway. There’s no doubting that war is a bit of a bugger and none is more representative of this than the second world war. This brutal war has been remembered in video games countless times and one of the best of the bunch, Tripwire Interactive, have been very adept at making possibly the most realistic WW2 games with Red Orchestra, Red Orchestra 2 and now Rising storm.
