Have you ever wondered if your favorite song or band has ever appeared in a rhythm game? Well wonder no more as back in January MTV.com launched the Rhythm Game Track Finder.
The database currently features 67 games across ten platforms and is searchable by game title, song title, artist, or platform. It also indicates whether a track is the original version or a cover and indicates if a song is only available as downloadable content.
