#3. Rock Band

Experience all — or at any rate some — of the musical highs, the camaraderie, and the sexual tension of being in a rock band without having to carry around amps or actually learn how to play an instrument. One dude sings, three other dudes play drums, bass and guitar. It's as simple, and as awesome, as that. Grooving along with tracks by the Rolling Stones, Weezer, Radiohead, R.E.M., and dozens of other legends — and these are the original recordings, mind you, not covers — is an experience unlike anything else in gaming.
