Rez has arrived on Xbox Live Arcade!

// // No Comments » // Music, News, Shmups, VideoGames, XBLA, Xbox 360

Rez was released today on XBLA. It’s a shooter that puts you in a virtual computer-like world in a battle against viruses. This game was a sleeper hit for the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 and copies of the game were VERY hard to find so it’s great that it’s out for download. The innovative thing about Rez was that you essentially created your own soundtrack as you’re playing. (Rez was allegedly quoted as saying: “LUMINES, I am your father!”) Each enemy, lock-on, shot and kill makes a sound in time to the beat. Download it now for 800 M$ points ($10.00). If for some reason you didn’t like this game, or thought it was weird, or didn’t like the techno music, it’s because you suck. Now, for those of you that don’t suck, enjoy as Fun With Bonus celebrates the release of Rez for the XBLA with the Original Soundtrack, “Rez Game Sound Data”.

Sample: “Eden”
