Microsoft dates Lips: Number One Hits for October
The karaoke themed Lips series didn’t really catch on in North America as it did in Europe but despite this Microsoft has dated an addition to the series, Lips: Number One Hits, for October.
This game will feature the same basic karaoke gameplay featured in the previous Lips title but will feature a new track list that includes:
“Viva La Vida” by Coldplay “Disturbia” by Rihanna “U Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer “More Than Words” by Extreme “Apologize” by Timbaland featuring OneRepublic “Karma Chameleon” by Culture Club “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” by Marvin Gaye “Oh, Pretty Woman” by Roy Orbison “Ready, Set, Go!” by Tokio Hotel
While there is definitely a market for these games, Joystiq notes the fact that the developers could have just continued to release new downloadable songs instead of an entire new title.
SingStar sells 16 million copies by 5th anniversary
Sony is proud to announce that their karaoke themed series, SingStar, has just turned 5. Better yet the series has sold over 16 million copies since it’s creation.
Kotaku says that this number can be attributed to the fact that there are 70 different individual titles of the game as pretty much every region recieved their own indiviudal version.
Me personally? I’d take Rock Band or Guitar Hero: World Tour over SingStar anyday.
PS3’s SingStar gets updated
If you’re a fan of the popular SingStar karaoke game, you’ll be happy to hear that the game was recently updated adding a few new features.
You probably could have guessed that the game would be getting trophies with over 30 being thrown into the update. That’s not all as Sony has also announced that both the SingStore and MySingStarOnline have been redesigned, updated, and enhanced.
The biggest feature, however, is the fact that you can now browse through the game’s menus just by speaking into the mic. Sony hasn’t said much more about this future but the patch is free and available now for everyone to tinker with.
