Audioscrobbling. Another one for the "neologisms in search of bans" pile.

It's a fantastic game and this looks like a nice update. But I bet it still doesn't quite work properly though.

Yeah, fine, whatever - but when will it be out on the consoles? Who sits in front of their computers to enjoy interactive music, anyway? This game sounds like it tailor made for console gamers chilling out on their sofas, with huge widescreen TV's and surround systems blaring their favourite music. Maybe even being played at parties and shit.

Audiosurf for the PS3 now! I'll buy me a copy the first day it's on PSN Store.

Many, many thousands of people, seemingly. This game was the centre of the party -I- had on saturday, anyway. Being near a desk isn't quite the horror-inducing trauma fest that a lot of people make it out to be! ;)

Wow, Last.FM support in a game! That's awesome. Never thought of that before. We need that in Guitar Hero and Rock Band in future updates too. I scrobble as much of my listening as I can. Catching my highly played music games too would be an excellent bonus.

Well, it's really "scrobbling", but the process needs a name - what would you call it?

Anyway, scrobbling is a very sweet addition, and the only thing I thought it needed after downloading the game. To be honest I'm very surprised they took the time to do it - thankful though, too.

Very very impressed that something like Last.fm scrobbling was added. Huzzah for the developers!

scrobbling, wtf?! i'm obviously behind the curve as I don't have a scooby doo what this means. Sounds like a noise a turkey would make shortly before being served up for dinner.

Still no support for 360 controller in the menus, though. BOO

Most people have much bigger music collections on their computer than anywhere else in their house, and Audiosurf plays great with a mouse.

Just a site (last.fm) that keeps track of the music you listen to on your computer and suggests similar artists you might enjoy based on what you do listen to.

I have never liked this game, although I really wanted to. I honestly never understood why literally every one fell over themselves praising it.

Mono mode is great fun with the right songs.

"Award-winning musical puzzle game Audiosurf has had been given a rather chunky update."

Since when is it a puzzle game?

@coach_mcguirk:
360 support isn't in the menu but it's native to the game. Just plug your pad in before turning the game on and it'll work.
