Rhythm games ask you to act on the beat: press, tap, type or move in time with the music. Some are straight rhythm games where notes scroll toward you; others put music into another kind of game, like RPG battles played to a beat, racing to songs you choose, or shooting in time with a track. Good headphones help, and most let you adjust timing if your keyboard or screen lags a little.
Foundplay lists 13 rhythm games, every one an original game that its creator hosts on their own site, so Play takes you straight to them.
