BIT.TRIP BEAT is a rhythm game which really doesn’t give away that much about itself. The store description is of no help in regards to what the game looks like, but the trailer shows it off as being a kind of trippy, one-sided pong game set to a funky soundtrack. This level of intrigue plus the low price tag prompted an immediate “Screw it, why not?” response, with £3.49 promptly being removed from my bank account.

It installed pretty much instantly (a welcome bonus) so I didn’t waste any time in jumping straight in…

Game Over

The throw-down’s done
Here’s the low-down, son
Though many tried out
(I lied, ouch)
But it was still fun
Watching puns and slant rhymes
Filling line after line
Talkin’ shit about headshots
And meatshots and deep thoughts
With tactical genius the winner between this
Pretentious group of wannabe’s
About to be crowned, see?

Just a reminder that we have two contests ending tomorrow.

Have you got a complete lack of shame?

Congratulations!
You might have what it takes to win a free copy of DJ Hero for Xbox 360!

Here at Top Tier Tactics, we understand that sometimes it’s not just enough to beat your opponent into submission, desecrate his corpse, and high five your teammates. No, in order to truly win, you’ve got to write a rap celebrating the ownage.

That’s why, if you want a shot at your free copy of DJ Hero, you need to prove it. With a rap. (You should have picked that part up already.)
