When you think of rhythm games, what's the first thing that pops into your mind? Probably games such as Dance Dance Revolution, Rock Band, Elite Beat Agents, and so on if I had to take a guess. Essentially games that have you hitting buttons or tapping a...

If you're feeling a particular beat, you can also import your own music to play along with, which works well. It doesn't change the actual content of the game, just the rhythm at which you play it. "Barton Hollow" by The Civil Wars, for instances, is playable but kind of slow, while the DC Talk hit "Jesus Is Just Alright" leads to more upbeat and faster exploring.

Retrying is quick, painless and practically mandatory. The necromancer’s dance-club dungeon is only missing a bouncer who doesn’t think you’re quite good enough to be seen with the beautiful creatures to complete its image as the best nightclub in the underworld, and even if had proper security, there’d probably be a way to combat-dance it into oblivion.
