When it comes to elevating a videogame to the status of all-time classic, what's important isn't how good it looks or innovative the action is - it's all about how it makes you feel. And with Guitar Hero, developer Harmonix captured what must be the best feeling in the world: playing dumbass rock'n'roll to an adoring crowd of fans, none of whom mind if you fumble the odd lick. Best of all, though, is the super-cute guitar controller used to play the game, which you hold aloft like a rock god to unleash special powers. Guitar Hero: We salute you!

Memorable for...
Rattling through Motörhead's Ace Of Spades on the hardest difficulty setting and nailing the note-perfect guitar solo for the first time. Makes you feel as if you should be snorting coke off a hooker's thigh in the back of a tour bus outside The Viper Room.
