As of this reading, only 136 people in the Giant Bomb community own Beat Hazard on Steam.  I wanted to spread the word about this fun and simple game and hopefully convince a few of y'all to pick it up.  
 
Beat Hazard is a dual joystick shooter with an art style similar to Geometry Wars. The game play options or a bit simpler, but it makes up for that with a feature sure to interest any music lover.  This game takes a page right out of Audiosurf's book and lets the player use any mp3 they have available.  The game play and visuals respond to whatever song you're playing.  Its kind of like a fancy interactive version of the visualizers you find in programs like Winamp or iTunes.  
 
I found the game incredibly satisfying to play from the first song I sat down with and I can't get enough of it.  My friends and roommates all love it as well.  Although it doesn't have multiplayer like Geometry Wars 2, it is fun to sit around and take turns playing with friends.  It also includes leaderboards for those of y'all who like to one-up your buddies.
 
I could go into detail about how cool the game is when you play a dynamic song, or I could just show you a video of it that I put on YouTube.  Head over and check it out:  Beat Hazard: Lord of the Rings - Requiem for a Dream
 
The game is only 10 bucks on steam, pick it up here:   Beat Hazard on Steam
 
p.s. achievements!!!

Oh thats right.... you told me about this. I'll buy it when the semester is done.

I recommend the works of Mr. Oizo, very bass heavy stuff. 

How do you play a dual joystick shooter on PC if you don't have a controller?

" @Alaska_Gamer:   @XII_Sniper:                    Does rock/metal music work with it? Or is it made for electronic and disco ? "
