Thought it would be useful for other music game fans to create a collection of the various music videogames available already or soon. If you’re shopping for a music game fan, this collection might come in handy as well. This post is dynamic and should be considered a work in progress as new titles get added and additional details are provided (probably should have made it a page instead of a post, but oh well). If you want to add titles this collection is missing feel free to use the comments area below.
