 When I read a while back that eDimensional had hired Ben Heckendorn, the famous console modder *sigh* I thought that was pretty cool.
I expected some at least half good stuff to come out (but personally, I don't like Ben Heckendorns work.. It's not really that skillful because it's all computer cut, and he commercialises it like a whore, and is stuck up his own ass, but that's another story), but I was actually rather shocked at the Audio FX.
It looks like something I could have bought 30 years ago, and isn't really that impressive! I suppose it's a matter of taste tough, but I certainly won't be buying this ugly bag of shit. I hope he wasn't paid...
If you like it though, feel free to read the press release for it!
