NZGamer writes: "The PlayStation 3 versions of SingStar continue to roll out, and much like the titles of Led Zeppelin albums, are unimaginatively named. It also means the track list is selected to be as broad as possible, which brings its own problems - as opposed to something like SingStar Abba, which narrows in on a particular sub-set of crazy people with great efficiency.
I'm not going to waste time on telling you what SingStar is - if you don't know the deal by now, you obviously don't care about the franchise and don't intend to pick this one up. What does matter is the track list, and here's where it gets interesting."
Well the big day is literally a few hours away folks and the Game-Modo crew are getting rather excited for santas visit. What better way to get us into the festive mood than to playing games that get us into the Christmas spirit.
Check out the games we like playing at Christmas. What games get you into the Christmas spirit?
If you get a new game and enjoy it around Christmas time one year, it'll feel like a Christmas time game the year after.
Shenmue 1 and 2 always gets me into the Christmas spirit. I still own them for the Dreamcast and usually play them both every Christmas (Although I haven't this year). The ingame date is around Christmas time (November 29th I think) and it just makes me feel all nostalgic and reminds of me of being a kid again, when I used to get super excited about Christmas.
We'll never get a sequel =[
Games don't get me into the Christmas spirit. Lights, snow, the Christmas service, being with family, Christmas movies.....THOSE put me in the Christmas spirit.
Gamasutra: "Rumors were circulating the depths of the internet last week, as it looked likely that the PlayStation 3's popular karaoke series SingStar was going free-to-play. As it turns out, it's perhaps not as free-to-play as you would have guessed."
Earlier this year Julian Hill was planning to complete a 24-hour SingStar challenge for charity, specifically raising money for London's Great Ormond Street Hospital as a thanks for the life-saving operation provided to his baby daughter. The great news is that this challenge has now been completed, and Julian shares the good news in his own words.
Nice work Julian, and congrats on raising so much for a very worthy cause. I didn't realise singstar had that many songs worth singing lol
Hopefully a full and healthy life ahead for his wee girl too.
