The PSVR version does not support custom songs.Over one million beatmaps can be downloaded for free from the osu! website and converted over to play in Audica.Audica may be one of the best VR rhythm games on the market but, like any good rhythm game, it only lasts as long as the number of songs available.

The Cowboys versus the Eagles is literally the best the NFC East division has to offer and now after seven prior weeks, the one thing that's clear is this game will find some way to hurt these teams even more. Unless you're a die-hard Cowboys or Eagles fan, you're probably just tuning in because it will be the only sport on TV. The World Series is over, the NBA finals are finished and now it's just two teams with losing records trying to be a little better than the other one.To be fair, most of the hurt for these two teams has come through literal injuries which have sidelined key players. The Eagles have the upper hand with a defensive line that outmatches a Cowboys offensive line.While Philadelphia will have multiple ways to get the ball down the field, a strategic run game would do them well against a Dallas team that is having trouble stopping the run. Dallas has ranked near last through the first seven weeks, allowing just a ton of yards on the ground, compared to when the b...

Once again the Chicago Bears are off to a hot start this season, but they'll need to keep it rolling if they want to beat the Saints on Sunday. This could end up being one of the better games of the week, and below we'll explain how fans can watch it live from anywhere.The New Orleans Saints are always a tough team led by veteran QB Drew Brees, but this week they'll have to go into Soldier Field and face a rejuvenated Bears team. However, the only solid team the Bears have beat this year is the Tampa Bay Bucs and Tom Brady, so their record could be a little misleadingStill, you can't discount a 5-2 record in the NFL. That said, the Saints are also sitting pretty at 4-2 and just came off of a big win last Sunday. Basically, these are two of the best 2-loss teams in the NFL, which means we're in for a great game in the late afternoon.The key to the Saints vs Bears game will likely come down to execution, and turnovers. Drew Brees has only turned the ball over 3 times, which Nick ...

The NFC North is one of the toughest divisions in football, and this weekend is a great matchup with the Minnesota Vikings vs Green Bay Packers. Below you'll find more info about the game and how to watch it live wherever you are in the world.Even though these two teams have completely different records this will be a hard-fought game, as they always are. The Packers sit 5-1 and look good this year, while the Vikings who were favored to win the division before the season began, are just 1-5.Still, these two teams play each other at least twice every year, and often a 3rd for a Wildcard spot or in the Playoffs. Basically, they're not strangers and sets it up for a great Sunday morning showdown.Whether you're a cheesehead Packers fan like myself, or love the "Skol" Vikings you don't want to miss any of the action. This could be the game where the Vikings hit a stride and turn the season around, or it could be another shellacking like we saw in 2014. We don't know, but we'll at le...

This weekend the NFL has one of the biggest spreads in history, where the Kansas City Chiefs are favored to stomp all over the Jets by more than 20 points. It'll be tough to watch for New York Jets fans, but here's how to tune in no matter where you are in the world.With a record of 0-7, the Jets won't have an easy game on Sunday in week 8 against the reigning Super Bowl champs, the 6-1 Kansas City Chiefs. Not only are the Chiefs one of the best teams in football, on both sides of the ball, but New York has severely struggled this year.In fact, several fans, analysts, and talk-show hosts believe the Jets are tanking on purpose to get the #1 draft pick and secure Clemson's Trevor Lawrence. And we wouldn't blame them, as he looks great, and could work out better than Sam Darnold has thus far. Then again, no one knows if Lawrence will go Pro, or stay in college for another year.Either way, this will likely be a game that all Jets fans will want to quickly forget about. Unless that...

One of the most anticipated moments in the NFL's week 8 schedule is the LA Rams vs Miami Dolphins game, as rookie Tua Tagovailoa will get his first official start. Whether or not this will be enough to energize the team and get a win over the Rams, though, is yet to be seen.If you're looking for the Rams or Dolphins game start time, you're likely a true fan. Don't worry, as we'll explain below how to watch it from anywhere in the world.Even after a convincing 24-0 win over the Jets last week, the Miami Dolphins still plan on benching its starting QB and giving Tua his first NFL start. The pressure is on, too, probably more so than for rookie Joe Burrow, so Tua Tagovailoa definitely has his work cut out for him.I would have started Tua for the Jets game last week, personally, but then again this week they're at home and I'm not a head coach in the NFL either. The Los Angeles Rams vs Miami Dolphins game will surely be a tough test for the rookie, as he'll be facing a veteran defe...

Rookie Quarterback Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals have a tough game this week against the Titans. Here's everything fans need to know and where to watch it live no matter where you are in the world this weekend.IMAGEAt times this year, the Bengals have looked really good, and you can definitely see how skilled the Rookie quarterback is. However, he'll have to pull a few tricks out of his sleeve if the 1-5-1 Bengals hope to beat a dominant 5-1 Tennessee Titans team.Fans will surely want to tune in and watch the Titans vs Bengals this week, just to see Derrick Henry run over a few more players. Each week the all-star RB puts up another highlight reel, and this week will be no different. So far in 2020, the Titans look poised for another deep playoff run, and potentially even a Super Bowl appearance.If the Cincinnati Bengals want any chance at winning this game they'll need to stop the run. A feat that almost no team has been able to do since Henry came into the league. The...
