AudioSurf On Sale This Week

Hey. Go buy AudioSurf. Unless you already own it.

Don't listen to our podcast through AudioSurf. It'll just make you crazy.
Don't listen to our podcast through AudioSurf. It'll just make you crazy.
Saw over on Shacknews that AudioSurf is on sale via Steam this week for $2.49. That's cheap. That's, like, completely ridiculous. AudioSurf is easily worth four times that much, which is what it normally sells for. That is a steal, people.

If you don't currently own AudioSurf, you should. It's a cool music-themed game that lets you import your own MP3s. The game then generates levels based on your music.

Apparently the sale is due to the latest addition to the Steam service... a shopping cart. Now you can buy multiple games from Steam without having to enter your credit card each time you buy. That means you could also buy a hot game like World of Goo at the same time, if that's your thing. Shopping carts! The future of Internet commerce is here!

Do you have to subscribe to Steam or anything to be able to buy games on it? I've never used it before. Never been much of a PC gamer.

Audiosurf is easily the best game on Steam.  Anyone who passes up this offer is just stupid.

Simsfreak14, I too paid $10 for the game and would do so again if I needed to. Money well spent at 10 bucks... at 2.50 you would be an idiot to not get it.

Audiosurf cannot play songs that more than an hour long.
Try the 7/22, 10/3, 10/9, and 10/24 episodes. Those should work.

They should be working on Audio Surf 2 for consoles. Sixaxis is perfect for that game.
I paid $10, but I am not the least bit disappointed with the subsequent price drops. It could easily cost $20 and I would still feel like it was a steal. And it is Last.fm compatible so you rack up your stats as well as.

Been waiting for a $5 sale (guess I missed that one reading a post here saying there was one) but $2.50 is even better. I can afford that even though our currency have crashed lately and the USD have increased 25 % in value last couple of months...

I already own Audiosurf and anyone who doesn't have it should buy that. However, I am much more excited about shopping carts on Steam! I absolutely hate having to put my credit card information in every time I want to buy a game on Steam. Hell yeah!

Now, there's only one more service that needs to fix this shopping cart-less problem...I'm looking at you Wii Shop Channel.
