Established in 2007 by Harmonix Music Systems, the original creators of the Guitar Hero series, the Rock Band franchise has been met with incredible success. With over 830 songs playable as of September 2009 and over 1000 expected by the end of the year, the variety that RB provides makes it a weekly staple at Club.
System We Use: Xbox 360
Max. Players: 4

StepMania
Much like disco, Dance Dance Revolution will never die. PMGC was originally the Purdue DDR club, and StepMania – an open-source DDR clone for the PC – is what ties us to our roots. With every song from every version of DDR and In The Groove, as well as hundreds of user-created songs, StepMania has a room at Club every week. (Towels not provided.)

The Beatles: Rock Band
The music industry has been abuzz with news about The Beatles: Rock Band, the first foray of the Fab Four’s music into the digital age. This game is a big deal, and we’re all over it like Yoko on a breakup.

Other Games
