Audiosurf.

I checked out Wired's top 5 PC Games in 2008 and 1 title caught my attention: Audiosurf.

A game that promises to build a WipeOut-esque game out of any musical track you throw at it.

I remember a game I had on the Playstation called Vib Ribbon that had a similar concept: it created an obstacle course for a sort of rabbit that you had to guide through button combinations. And you could feed it any musical track you wanted. So you had an infinite possibility of levels. The graphics were all wireframe so it had a very strong character. It was great although the gameplay was very simple. But the point was more to keep your eyes & fingers busy while you were listening to music. It made you rediscover your CDs as it made you want to try some obscure stuff.

So the same kind of thing but with racing? I had to try...

And the actual game is much better than "just" a racing game...
It's actually a sort of combination of racing and Tetris. With a feel of Guitar Hero thrown in...
The racing track has several lanes and you get colored blocks on it. You have to collect those blocks to score points, but you hav to collect them by colors and cluster them at least 3 by 3s. Both colors and the speed of your vehicles are determines by the track. So you have to follow the rythm of the song to collect the blocks efficiently...

It's incredibly entertaining and it gets you to listen to your music as well...
Just brilliant!
