Harmonix has been incredibly busy making games for its console audience. The Rock Band creators released Dance Central Spotlight for Xbox One in early September, are set to release Disney's Fantasia: Music Evolved next week on Xbox One and Xbox 360, and are working on the successfully-funded Amplitude for PlayStation. So what about the PC audience, one might ask?

For the PC crowd, Harmonix has the twin-stick shooter A City Sleeps, which has arrived on Steam today less than two months after its initial announcement. The game follows the Harmonix template of using incredible music and tying it to the gameplay experience. In this case, music will be tied to movement, firing, enemy spawning, and attack patterns.

Harmonix is aiming for pure challenge this time around, as they're tossing in multiple difficulty levels with remixed 'Cursed' ghosts mixing things up further. For more, check out the trailer below.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
