DS Jam Sessions
Not a game like GuitarZeros but rather a guitar sim in all the right ways. Like all good sims it simplifies something (running a city, playing god, strumming a guitar) such that the bar for participation is lowered while acting as a gateway to pushing yourself to further understanding. Jam Sessions is not perfect but it is a great vector to songwriting and/or guitar playing ... rather than simply smashing buttons to make a point score go up. Yet another reason why the Nintendo DS and it's big sibling the Wii "get it" where most other game platforms do not.
