Now if you haven't heard of Gibbage, just where have you been huh?...

Its a pc game...no.. wait...its a stonklingly fantastic pc game. here's a few reviews.

PCZone made Gibbage "Indie Game of the Month" in issue #169, putting it firmly in their Top 20 Indie Games ever with a rather respectable score of 71%. This is what they said:
-- Diverse and superbly designed levels...
-- Full of humour and powered by a great soundtrack...
-- A Cracker...

GameTunnel, one of the leading Indie Games sites had the following to say:
-- The later stages really get wild and will be sure to keep duels against humans or the CPU exciting and fun.
-- Whether it’s replay or price, this game falls into a category that very few other games dare to follow. Why? I don’t know. But Dan Marshall’s Gibbage is a relentless take on dueling death matching with a great sense of what makes battling a friend fun.
-- If any of the previous reasons don’t incline you to want this game, I can’t imagine what would. For quick duels and fast-paced action, Gibbage is a game that’ll occupy many of your waking hours.

A high-octane, high-speed, testosterone filled experience... Like dipping your head in nitroglyserene and gargling!"

So ok its one of the most highly rated independent pc games released this year but why am I harping on about it?

Well apart from the fact that it really is a cracking game yours truely scored the game. No..don't shake your head...I did...really!

Way back last year I stumbled across a posting by a Dan Marshall who was looking for a theme tune for his new game. Dan writes regularly in PC Zone magazine and at the time he had a series or articles following his creation of Gibbage - from back of a fag packet to world domination. I sent Dan a few examples and although none fitted his brief for his theme tune one of the tracks fitted the game play perfectly. I carried on writting in a similar vein and pretty soon we had a theme tune, menu music and a complete score. (You can hear most of these at http://www.encoremusic.co.uk under Music / Adrenaline.).

The gameplay and the music matched up perfectly and for that the credit goes to Dan Marshall. He knew exactly what was needed to make this rock.

Now don't take my word for it, hope on over to http://www.gibbage.co.uk and either check out the free demo or stick your hand in the trouser pocket and buy the complete game.

Reading the reviews and comments on the gameplay I really am proud of the small part I played in this cracking little game. When a composer writes blindly for a project it can often be a hit and miss affair. Did I get lucky?...maybe, but it worked and that was down to the judgement of Gibbages' creator. That boy Dan Marshall knows his onions!
