If you love games like 'Rock Band' and 'Guitar Hero' but don't have the capital to splurge on a gaming system, games and virtual instruments, you can get your fake rockstar on with OMGPOP's 'Hit Machine.'
OMGPOP's 'Hit Machine' is an online-only game that is the keyboard-tapping equivalent to 'Rock Band' and 'Guitar Hero.' Instead of manipulating fake instruments you've purchased, you tap the ASD and JKL keys in time with the bars on the screen.
