Rocksmith

ESRB: T - Teen (Lyrics, Mild Cartoon Violence)
Genre: Music
Platforms: 360, PS3

The best way to describe it: a REAL guitar game. While other music games have you play on a plastic guitar and pushing buttons, with Rocksmith you play a real guitar. The game comes with a jack that allows you to plug in your real guitar into your console. It actually teaches you to play a real guitar and it learns your abilities and gently pushes you along. Definitely a game for anyone actually wanting to learn to play a guitar.
