Leak: Microsoft developing karaoke game that beats everything else on the market
Next up on the leak list is Microsoft’s karaoke game, titled Lips (NOT pictured above). This music title will contain 30 songs, and two wireless microphones. The biggest news about this game though, is the ability to allow users to use their own downloaded tracks.
Lips will allow gamers to rip songs from their CD or iPod, and use them to sing along with in-game. Lyrics are also uploaded to each song, while the vocals on ripped tracks will automatically be lowered.
The game will score its players based on pitch, rhythm, and tune. It’s also noted that the mics are motion sensored, and will be used for giving out bonus points for players who dance along (I see this as shaking your mic like an idiot) while singing.
Again, take this all with a grain of salt as this has not been confirmed yet.
No commentsHardware review: GelaSkins
Let’s face it, there’s a ton of skins out there for your consoles and electronics that are extremely ugly, bulky, and cliche. I’ve tried several skins in the past, but I was never satisfied with any of them. Then I found a product called GelaSkins. Out of all of the lame skull, flame, and flaming skull designs the market carries, finally, I found something worth checking out.

Namco Bandai has announced today that they have released Pole Position: Remix for the Apple iPod today, and the game is available for the price of $4.99 through the iTunes service. Pole Position: Remix is a remake of Pole Position II, and will feature the original four levels the game had, as well as the iPod exclusive Misaki Point race track. The game can be purchased and played on any iPod Nano with video, iPod classic, or fifth generation iPod.
I can imagine that the game would be easy and simple to control using the iPod’s click wheel. I would never pay that much money to play Pole Position on my iPod, but I do think the iPod is becoming a new path for casual gaming, especially since Harmonix’s Phase was released on the MP3 player. Still, I’d love to see more Namco classic arcade games heading to this device.
