Audiosurf Out on Steam, Friday
You can now pre-order Invisible Handlebar's Audiosurf on Steam for $9.95 (there is a 10% discount for pre-orders). The game will be released on the 15th of February 2008, while a demo will be posted up on the same day. The official web site was also relaunched with a new look to celebrate the announcement.
This download contains the extra bonus of Valve's The Orange Box soundtrack to play with, which includes Portal's "Still Alive" song. (Gamasutra article)

Yay! Finally the wait is over! And it's coming out on Steam - my favorite service right from the beta version of the first system when it sucked. =)
Valve is officialy an indie-friendly company. :-D

Well, that was a no brainer at that price!

I'd have thought that Valves indie-publishing credentials were already pretty peerless. Introversion, Cryptic Sea, etc.
As mentioned, that price is absurdly good. I'm in the UK, where everything is expensive, and spent more than that on my lunch today - and not a particularly good one, either. Paying the same for Audiosurf with extra bundled music is almost as easy as breathing. So, yeah, preordered and predownloaded.
I'm just hoping that Bit-Blot resume their talks with Valve soon, so that Aquaria might reach a more mainstream audience. Hell, they should just email Gabe Newell and say 'We've got this incredibly polished and highly rated indie game and want you to publish it'. The dude would probably leap at the opportunity.

I didn't care for this at any point until I logged into Steam and it popped up as news. It totals to £5.30 for any brits out there.
Don't even like these new fangled music games.
