I’m not sure why I’ve never heard of Beat the Intro. Maybe I’m just totally out of touch these days. Or maybe it’s just a hidden gem. Either way, it sounds pretty darn cool.

The game itself sounds kind of like the home version of the old “Name That Tune” game show. Now that we have things like DVDs and CDs, I guess it’s much easier to make games like this reality. There are over 3000 questions, too, so it’s not one of those games you’ll only get to play once or twice before you know everything. Even better, the music in the game spans 4-5 decades, so it’s not like all the young people will be beating the old people, or vice versa. Your only hope for a clean victory is to be extremely well rounded, musically.

For around $20, I’m sold. I’ll definitely be picking up a copy sometime before the next major family event. How else can I keep the aunts quiet about their medical problems while also preventing my mom from asking me why I’m not married?
