Game Interactions Follow-Up

Hey guys, it's the resident game nerd again.

Who's heard of Elite Beat Agents? Or perhaps it's Japanese counterpart, Ouendan? Basically, it's a rhythm game for the Nintendo DS. The idea is that points pop up on screen, and the player needs to rhythmically click them in the right order in order to continue. Here's some screenshots. And a movie, if you feel like it.

Well, anyway, I found an application called "ClickBeat", which is basically the same thing, but free and for the PC. If you want to try it, now you can.

For those who don't know, the DS is another one of those systems that has been experimenting with alternative control schemes.

In this case it's the stylus present in some PDAs, but the DS also retains the traditional directional pad (D-Pad) and buttons.
