Rolling Stone has just put out a mammoth list of the 50 “best” rock and roll games ever made - and I have to say, so many doozies made it on the list, it’s more appropriate to call it “Music games - the good, the bad and the WTF”. True gems of the genre, like Frequency, Rez, Space Channel 5, PaRappa and the recent Guitar Hero and Rock Band titles are on there, sure enough. But it also has tripe like Britney’s Dance Beat and Spice World. The WTF section is pretty full, too, with games like Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker and Kiss: Psycho Circus. Really.

Rolling Stone, you should know your rock games better. And surely, the fanboys will come a-screaming when they find out that games like Gitaroo Man, Everday Shooter (which is oh-so musical) and AudioSurf are nixed from the list. Personally, I’m just happy that one of my favorite (and so overlooked) adventure games - Loom - made the cut. Oh, and Frequency, Harmonix’ pre-Guitar Hero opus. Go check out the rest of the entries and let us know what else they forgot/threw in shamelessly.
