BIT.TRIP VOID

BIT.TRIP VOID, the third entry in the series of groovy, retro arcade games from Gaijin Games (the previous two being CORE and BEAT), is coming to WiiWare later this year. VOID seems to be less rhythmic than its predecessors, and more like a shooter, which is okay by me. I’m pretty bad at the BIT.TRIP games generally, but I just can’t seem to resist forking over my Wii Points for them…

BIT.TRIP CORE, game number two in Gaijin Games’ series of slick retro-yet-modern rhythm games, makes me glad I hooked up my Wii again last week. This is what the inside of Phil‘s head must look like. Coming out “Summer 2009.” (Hey, that’s this summer!)

Check out the first BIT.TRIP game, BEAT, if you haven’t yet.

BIT.TRIP BEAT

BIT.TRIP BEAT is the first in a series of “BIT.TRIP” games from the (relatively) new independent label Gaijin Games, featuring stylized, rhythm-based gameplay with up to four human players. It’s like retro repurposed, Bizarro World Pong with a lofi aesthetic, mounting into an adaptive audio-visual experience. If that sounds pleasing to you (why wouldn’t it?), you can grab it off WiiWare for a mere $6 USD.

Or you could pick up a Happy Meal or some Starbucks or something and continue to live your life in darkness, it’s whatever.
