Sony Music’s odd, surreal, fantastic push into games

Gensou Skydrift is just the latest in an expanding batch of titles curated by a small team of videogame aficionados working at Sony Music

LOS ANGELES: It plays like Mario Kart and it looks like ... well, it looks like nothing you’ve probably played before. 

Gensou Skydrift is a classic kart racing game designed by some of the people who worked on Nintendo’s Mario Kart Double Dash. But instead of controlling Nintendo characters driving karts, players control a pair of young magical Japanese women who take turns body surfing one another and casting spells to slow down their opponents.
