Musika

FROM: Sony BMG

BEHIND THE MUSIC: Matsaya Matsuura strikes again, turning the iPod into an interactive visualizer. The experience in a nutshell: After tapping your music library to provide a soundtrack, random letters appear onscreen in increasingly graphically surreal ways. Players must then identify ASAP if these letters are represented in the current song title by pressing the center button, or jab forward/back to prompt the next character's appearance.

WHY IT ROCKS: While Apple's ubiquitous tagalong isn't exactly giving Nintendo or Sony the shakes, demonstrates there's room for gaming's growth on alternate devices yet, and potential gold to be found in the iPhone 3G App Store.
