Gears of War 2 Teaser - Mad World Version

February 20th, 2008

TimRay and I got to talking about the new Gears of War 2 trailer and realized two things. First, they used the chainsaw almost exactly how Ray said they should use it in our latest podcast (strange coincidence). Second, I told him it would be awesome to put the Mad World song to the new trailer, half jokingly, half seriously. He was up to the task and put this video together and I think it’s great. His point is that the song is emotional, not the game. I think he’s right.

Rhythm Blaster Game Features Music by Ray!

RhythmBlaster

TimI thought I’d bring to everyone’s attention that there’s a great little flash game out there that uses a song Ray wrote for his album Jessica and the Silver Eclipse. The game is called RhythmBlaster and Ray’s song The Curtail of the Covert isn’t just background music (Ray’s is the first level by the way), the song actually helps create the level. The game seems like a basic shooter, but its unique feature is that the waves of enemies appear to the rhythm of the music that’s playing. So please, if you try out the game, have the sound on, it’s a pretty cool experience. Also, there’s a newer version of the game that eliminates the lag issue and has many more levels in it, but it doesn’t use Ray’s song. Check it out if you enjoyed the first version.
