'Rez'
Most musical games simply make you play along with the songs, whether it's tapping fret buttons in Guitar Hero or jumping on a mat in Dance Dance Revolution. Rez, on the other hand, places you inside the music, into a surreal, rave-like rail shooter in which rhythm and beat influence both the game's score and your own. This juxtaposition of action and audio can get your toes tapping while your own fingers set the beat.
Artistic relevance: Combines music with gameplay to produce an interactive experience where sound is as important as sight.

This is the worst list I have ever seen in relation to computer games. It's like it was written by a man-boy who can't leave his limited teenage ideas behind. For god's sake, BioShock? And where the hell was the Nintendo stuff like Wind Waker. You even included a poor Zelda clone (Okami), ironically only because of it's surface level aesthetic.
