Rayark has posted an update to their recently released iOS music game, Cytus. The new update adds two new songs, one by Diverse System mainstay Yamajet, and another song that is initially locked. There have also been changes to a few song note patterns to make for a better gameplay experience.

Also included in the update are some bug fixes, along with some improved performance for iPad owners.

Check back with us soon for an official review!

Hint: It's pretty good and you should buy it.

The FP, an independent film about a post apocalyptic world where gangs square off in games of DDR with deadly consequences, has just announced a whole slew of screenings happening across the country next month. Even with how limited this engagement is, the number of screens showing it is pretty impressive. We're hoping to make it to at least one of the showings in LA so we can give everyone our opinions on it. Definitely a departure from previous films based on Konami's dancing game franchise, this one has a look and feel that gives us the initial impression that the people who made it might just be big fans of the game and aren't looking to just cash in on a fad.
