Though there's a smorgasbord of audio pulsing through it, Sound Shapes won't make a musician out of you. What it does is more esoteric and impressive than that. This new PlayStation Vita game lets you feel what it's like to live inside a song.
And so we come to the end of our "Best Game Music of 2011" series, where tradition dictates we crown a victor. I'm only half-serious, of course; it's all but impossible to say what the best anything is, and that's doubly true of something as ephemeral and subjective as music. But all the same, Jim Guthrie's soundtrack…

I played a ton of games in 2011. More, probably, than any other year of my life. So when it came time to choose the best from among them, I spent a lot of time thinking back, sifting through the triumphs and the frustrations, the unexpected joys and the unfortunate disappointments.

College is a special time in the life of any young man or woman. You're finally free from your parents, ready to meet new people, attend interesting classes, and probably drink with those people and during those classes. While the first year of college can be a very busy time, there's always space for some gaming. A…

I want to hug everyone who had anything to do with this game, but I have to do that with words first. So, let's get to it before you dismiss this review as fundamentally unserious and click over to a technical white paper on pathfinding algorithms.
People left GDC 2010 raving about Sword & Sworcery for the iPhone and iPad, but the game's late 2010 release didn't materialize as expected. Your wait is over.
