	Music video game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A music video game, also commonly known as a music game, rhythm action game, or rhythm game, is a type of video game where the gameplay is oriented almost entirely around the player's ability to follow a musical beat and stay with the rhythm of the game's soundtrack.
		Since the game play for this type of game is largely aural rather than visual, this type of game is similar to audio games.
		In an offshoot of the serious games initiative, a hybrid music video game is emerging where the goal of the game itself is the resulting concert music from the interaction between performer and live projected video game.

	Video game - Wikipedia
		A video game is a game played using an electronic device.
		Often "video game" is taken in a narrow sense to mean those games played on consoles for television and similar handhelds, with computer games and coin-operated arcade games treated separately.
		Video games are made by developers, sometimes individuals, but almost always a team consisting of directors, graphic designers, programmers, musicians and other technicians.

	GameLow.com: Video Games>>Arcade game
		The first popular "arcade games" were early amusement park midway games such as shooting galleries, ball toss games, and the earliest coin-operated machines, such as those which claim to tell a person their fortune or played mechanical music.
		By the mid-1980s, the arcade video game craze was beginning to fade due to the reputation of arcades as being seedy, unsafe places as well as the advances in home video game console technology.
		The newest arcade video games tend to also have interactivity as part of the game design, making the game player feel like they are more kinesthetically connected to the game itself.

	Gambling Guide > Games Classification > Video Games
		The term "video game" is often not considered to include computer games and coin-operated arcade games, both because historically the games in these three categories were very different, and also because the activity of playing these three types of games is different.
		Video games are made by developers, sometimes individuals, but almost always a team consisting of designers, graphic designers and other artists, programmers, sound designers, musicians, and other technicians.
		Serious games are too new have had a significant effect on the game industry and, since most are developed specifically for one client, they are not released for retail sale to the general public.

	Audio game - One Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		It is similar to a video game save that the only feedback device is audible rather than visual.
		Most audio games run on a computer platform, although there are a few audiogames for handhelds and video game consoles.
		This caused a huge gap between the video games for the seeing and games for the blind—a gap that is actually growing.

	Video Game Genres
		These games are realtime fast-paced action games in which the player navigates an environment from a first-person perspective and, usually, blows everything and everyone away whenever possible.
		Games within this genre are usually identified by navigating environments that require timing and jumping in order to reach a desitination while avoiding and/or disposing of enemies.
		Many of these games include a single player mode, but the real draw to this genre is the ability to demonstrate one's gaming prowess against a friend.

	Rez, Rhythm video game at The Online Game Store - Shop Games and Accessories Online at Low Prices
		Rez, formerly known as K-Project, is a video game released by Sega in 2002 for the Sony PlayStation 2.
		The game is set in a vast computer network where a female AI program named Eden begins to doubt her very existence and purpose, dropping into a state of unconsciousness and must be found and awakened by the player by navigating through a series of levels.
		The game is tightly integrated with sight and sound; a thumping vibration in the Dual Shock 2 controller or Dreamcast rumble packs keeps time with the music, and literally every onscreen action, from missile locking, firing, and exploding to the pulsing of the landscape and the player's avatar themselves, synchronizes with the beat.

		Young children ought not to have too much trouble with the game, but even players from older audiences ought to be able to appreciate much of what the game does, even if it doesn't present an awful lot of difficulty.
		The game features a series of minigames, including a whack-a-mole (or whack-a-possum, in this case) game starring Diego and a hybrid of a slalom and a rhythm game with Sid.
		All these games are pretty decent, and fortunately, there's not much repetition or recycling of the same games throughout the adventure.

		Granted with the established concepts of the rhythm genre there isn't a lot of leeway as far as creativity is concerned, but almost immediately this game does little to separate itself apart from others.
		In the end this is a game that is designed for nostalgic rhythm fans and not a lot of other people.
		One problem when it comes to me playing rhythm games, is that I'm very particular about the type of music that I listen to.

	Video games can provide the perfect party mix
		Fighting games such as "Soul Calibur" or "Dead or Alive" are good because you can get in a few brawls fairly quickly and then get back to guarding the keg.
		And rhythm games such as "Dance Dance Revolution" may be more inviting to guests once they've downed a few tequila shots.
		The new game also lets you plug in a dance pad, so would-be Britneys can test their skills at dancing and singing at the same time.

	Review: DDRMAX2-Dance Dance Revolution - daytrum - playstation
		Video games generally encourage kids to be couch potatoes.
		DDRMAX2 is an interactive rhythm video game that's played with a dance pad-a mat that connects to the PlayStation 2 and replaces the handheld controller, and lets players step on giant buttons.
		A beginner mode helps novices learn the game, while a nonstop mode offers consecutive songs with few breaks, and an endless mode lets players dance to all of the game's songs in one continuous mix.

		Games that are under construction should not be submitted until they are complete.
		Unlike traditional music games which simply featured pressing buttons in rhythm with on screen actions, Gitaroo-Man requires players to use both the analog stick and the controller buttons at the same time, controlling the on-screen character with jumps, ducks and attacks.
		The aim of the games is to impress Simon Cowell and the other judges through singing and dancing to some of the game's 40 top ten songs.

	Science Fiction Game Reviews
		Detail was a watchword with these games, and they inspired many Web pages that track, among other things, the language that the developers created for the game world.
		The last game for the Sega in the PD series was a role-playing game, but this new game from Smilebit returns the franchise to its "rail shooter" roots.
		It takes time to get the rhythm down and to judge when it is time for rapid gunshots and when for slower but stronger dragon fire.

	Guitar Hero Review on PlayStation 2 - TotalVideoGames.com
		In true Harmonix tradition the game is driven by an engaging combo score mechanic, which rewards the player with score multipliers for successfully stringing a song together without missing a note.
		Aficionados of Harmonix previous efforts will probably notice that the peripheral nature of the game results in a slightly shallower effort then before, the core gameplay doesn't appear to be as challenging or pure as Amplitude, however Guitar Hero more then makes up for such inadequacies with the novelty of its peripheral.
		There's a great sense that the team behind the game know their rock music inside out, with little nods to classic rock details such as the amps going all the way to 11 and DM drumkits replacing the DW Drum Workshop.

		You place the camera on top of your television, plug its cable into one of the two USB ports on the front of the PlayStation 2, load the game and a player's image is projected on-screen.
		The frantic "Coconut Panic" and "Hands & Feet" games make use of both the dance mat and the EyeToy camera, and has players using their hands and feet concurrently while dancing or interacting with onscreen images.

		Although he was not at liberty to discuss all of the software details, he said that he was able to write his loops in Acid because the game software that triggers the right loops at the right time in the game was similar in nature to Acid.
		A lot of times a game developer will write their own software to handle audio, but there are some companies that do it for you.
		Most games nowadays have soundtracks that are actually audio streams (redbook,.wav, even.mp3 or sub-formats recently in quite a number of games).
