GAME REVIEW - Drive Any Track

Drive Any Track is a game on Steam that I happen to come across yesterday and haven't been able to stop playing. I bought it on sale for $5.99UDS [$14.99USD original], I'm very glad that I bought it for the price I did. It overall is a great game and I love it.

It's currently still in Early Access but from what I've seen and played, again, I'm loving it so much. It looks beautiful and plays great. It's easy to pick up and really anyone can play.

I can only assume that most players may be playing with a controller, which I am. If you decide to as well, you really only need the control stick to drive, A to select and use a boost, and X to drift. It took me a while to figure out that pressing X will let you drift, I knew you could be again, it took me a bit to figure that out.

I've included some screen shots of a couple of the tracks that I've done on the right and as you can see, the game does look super amazing. You have a choice of cars and the tracks that you can race in, just wow.
But the main point of the game, if you want to say it like that, is to go into your own, personal music library and your music tracks, become your race tracks!

I've been the first person to 'create' race tracks, because I've been the first player to race with a certain song, for example, I picked the song Werewolves by Short Stack [WATCH IT HERE] and I was the first player to select and race that song, so I was marked the 'creator' of the track and was rewarded 100 coins for creating a new track.

You may wonder, "But MySmilie, how mayny race tracks in the game are there?" Well kind reader, how many songs on file are there that we can access? That's how many race tracks there are!

Is there anything I would change or add. Yeah, of course! I wouldn't mind the ramps  being a bit more different from the barriers, just to make it easier to tell they are ramps. That is the only thing I would change, but I would like it if there were stats with the different vehicles, to make them more different from each other, other then just they way they look. I wouldn't mind if different cars were different weights (light, medium or heavy), different handling and drifting stats and maybe acceleration? That could just be me but I think that would be an interesting option, again, just to make the cars more different from each other. I also think the $15 price tag is a bit high, I did buy it on special, yes, but do think the creaters should consider lowering the price a bit, possibly to $9.99. But no lower then that, unless it's on special! :P

But again, overall, the game in amazing and I'm loving it so far. I can't wait to see what else they add and to see what else they do with it. I highly do recommend buying it when you get the chance.
I'll be uploading a few tracks I've recorded myself racing, onto YouTube over the next couple of days so if you want to watch that, head on over to my YouTube Channel!

Hey Look! A Wig!

So for a little while now, I've been wanting to either buy a wig, or hair extensions. But mainly, I wanted a wig. I look on ebay.com.au a hell of a lot of a suitable wig that wasn't too expensive but was cheap enough for me to buy. I mainly didn't want to be spending $20AUD on a wig, so, because of my budget, I was going to buy a synthetic wig. Which I was perfectly fine with. The only concern I had was what would I do if it was too shiny, if it was too fake. But happily I got a wig that wasn't too shiny, it seemed pretty alright. The only thing wrong with it was the length. It was about 80cm long. With be being about 153cm tall, and me being use to hair a bit past my shoulders, that was defiantly too long for me. I ended up buying an orange with, from Australia, so it wouldn't take 2 months to arrive, but it also came with a free hair net/cap.
I ended up cutting the fringe, then cutting the wig, without a wig stand. That was a little bit of a pain because it's uneven and I'm sure it's pretty choppy. But I can deal with it.
Over all, this was a good experience and I am planning in the future to possibly buy from these guys again.

Above are 3 photos of me wearing the wig. The first, I haven't cut it yet, the second one, I've just cut the fringe, and the third, I cut the rest of the hair as well. Sorry for the slightly wild look there.

REVIEW : Beyond Gravity | Game

Recently, I was fortunate enough to have same some spending money, which never happens. One of the first things I did was to look on Steam for any games that were on special that might interest me. Beyond Gravity was one of those games on special, selling for $0.99 USD and was a few hours away from going back to it's normal price of $1.99 USD, so I instantly bought it because it reminded me of a free game on Miniclip.com that I did enjoy. So I didn't mind paying a little bit for it.

Beyond Gravity is a VERY simple, one button, take no time at all, causal game that belongs on mobile phone and tablets, and not really on a computer. I've currently played a bit over 2.5 hours so far and unlocked 34 of the 40 available achievements. I do plan on unlocking all of them, and I expect that it won't take much longer.

But as I said, this really is, what I like to think, as a very causal game.

It looks nice, the art style is cute and fun, the music sounds fitting and is relaxing. The game is simple, and entertaining for a good 5 to 10 minutes. I would recommend this game, but only in small bursts, mainly because it is repetitive. You're click to jump from planet to planet, collecting cogs and screws, which you can trade in for things, including a triple jump, a faster jump, and being able to pull in cogs and screws in from further away.
