osu! is a crazy awesome rhythm game, that's extremely simple, fun to play and has tons of songs (700+) and an editor that supports all .mp3/.ogg files.
Essentially, all it is are little circles that pop up on the screen and you have to press them at the right time, but it's kinda hard to explain, so watch a video:

The tracks are made by the community, so there are always more tracks (or beatmaps) being made. A lot of them are J-Pop, lots of video game music and lots of mainsteam hits here too. (also some internet songs...)
The game features an online multiplayer, scoreboard and level system that adds some spice, and it's totally free.
Some of the tracks are really hard despite the star rating, so watch out. ;) If you download individual songs, next to the creator is are the difficulty levels for the track. E being easy, N being Normal, H being hard and I being insane, but some tracks use different ratings for them, like Breazin' and stuff.
The best way to donwload is to get the beatmap packs, which there are 50 of plus two video game packs, two rhythm game packs and an internet pack. You have to sign up on the site in oder to play, but it's totally worth it. Sinu and Revo showed me it and I've been hooked since yesterday.

Thread has been made before.
This game looks like it would piss me off really fast.
It's harder than you would believe for some songs, and to even survive you have to hit like all the notes perfectly.

Anyway, this game is awesome.
