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.
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."
News24 Games contributor, Grant Hinds gives us the 411 on strengthening the companionship, support and Ultra Kills in your relationship.
Ha nice one, I tried that on my side but she couldn't get comfortable with the camera. But I just got LBP2 and as you said its great fun to jam a level together!
I get a fair amount of gaming in with the missus. It's strengthened our relationship - and I appreciate the heck out of her taking an interesting in a hobby so important to me.
yeah, there's nothing hotter than your girlfriend playing Treant Protector and spamming that lvl 11 entangle for the win.
Very interesting article. Guitar Hero has been VERY successful on my side. We enjoy playing together. Modern Warfare 2 has also been pretty successful. I remember that she would get these periods of pwnage at times and then whoop my ass. We'd also be quite the team when we played Spec Ops. I have to admit that I found it pretty damn hot that she could beat me like that when we played competitively.
I also find it hot when my girl friend beats me ;) I just got a DSi and she has a DSXL (that things huge) and hitting some Mario Kart is epic!
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.
