Bah, too much hate going around lately. But like an every-so-often intoxicated Robbie Williams once said, “Let love be your energy.” Nothing better to loosen up with the recently released soundtrack to whats easily the best original side-scrolling 2D beat ‘em up since the days of Guardian Heroes and Mischief Makers. Yes friends, Noitu Love 2’s got the groovy beats to keep this mangy mofo from vindicating through extreme hyper-ventilation. And I don’t even need no stinkin’ paper bag.

.. Anywho! Scroll all the way down to find the appropriate link. Stick these in your AudioSurf playlist, and let the good times roll.

Not many people know this, but I’m secretly married to Joakim Sandberg. Married to his work, that is! This dude knows how to churn quality stuff out, especially since Noitu Love and Chalk acting as perfect examples to rub your erotic unmentionables with all over like some slimy tentacle beast. Which brings us to Mr. Sandberg’s next project, the highly-anticipated Noitu Love 2: Devolution. Currently, a 10 MB demo is ready to be downloaded from his site, but the full game should be rolling eventually, albeit for a price. That’s right, you’ll have to pay for this pixelated beauty of a master emerald, but that didn’t exactly stop anyone from paying for AudioSurf, did it now? No, I don’t think so.

The best way to describe Noitu’s second iteration? Imagine the slick sprite work that high-profile developers like Treasure are known for, melded with the beat ‘em up majesty that is Gunstar Heroes (Yet another Treasure reference!), and you’re not too far off. I could throw a few more titillating tidbits, but really, where’s the fun in being a spoil sport? Gentlemen, start your modems!
