This game has been worked on by developers at RjDj and takes what you may well have experienced in the Inception application from earlier this year to a whole new level. The developers here have worked with Oscar winning soundtrack producer Hans Zimmer (also having worked on Inception, mind you), to bring you the music and sound environments you experience in the game. If that wasn't enough to get you to drop the $2.99 in the iTunes Appstore, do read on. Read The Full Story

, Nov 15th 2011 Discuss [2]

High-end audio maker ACS Custom's partnered up with Etymotic before to create earphones, but this time, they're taking up Altec Lansing's offer to team up to build something new in the audio space, in the form of a trio of "Custom Series" in-ear-monitors.
