    I loves me some music games and I've got no problem with fessing up to that fact, although you'd better believe I'll always close the blinds before I lay down the dance pads and embark on a game of DDRMax in my living room. Pa Rappa the Rappa and Um Jammer Lammy ( Lammy in particular) hooked me on the genre, and each installation / revision of the Dance Dance Revolution series has all but confirmed it.

Then you will see why this is simply the coolest game ever. Read more

The different difficulty setting don’t change the songs available to you, but they do change the patterns of the flying balls.... Read more

    Samba De Amigo is one of the best music and rhythm games released thus far, and it's the first such game to hit the United States, making it an excellent entry into the world of music peripherals. Read more

    I don't have much time to play video games, and fighting games are generally my favorite. That said, I still play with this game more than any game in my ample collection. That's because it gives you what video games promise to deliver: fun, pure and... Read more
