Mercury Rising!

What the heck you’re thinking? I shall explain, Mercury Hg has a cracking soundscape, (club, dance, banging, booming, whatever you call it) and the blocky graphic equalizer banging away in the background adds depth to the overall feeling. Within the game you have the option to play your own music, which is stored on your hard-drive, but if you could simply stream it from Last.fm that would have been the masterstroke, this would easily have completed a game that looks old school but plays new school. Login to Last.fm, search eighties artist’s, bingo! Philip Oakey — Giorgio Moroder: Together In Electric Dreams.

It’s crisp, clean and fluid, but you come to expect nothing less from titles utilising NVIDIA® PhysX® propriety technology. It’s entertaining, even if it does get you to the point of pulling your hair out at times. It can get repetitive, but all games do if you spam them enough times. Available now on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, Mercury Hg is the essence of fun, from a time twenty five years ago and further.

I recommend you give it a go.
