With their unique levels of interactivity and leverage off mainstream media, these titles have reached audiences that used to be considered "non-gamers".
Despite the PS2 still moving ridiculous numbers of units, there is a new era for these titles now thanks to the PS3. And naturally, Sony is bringing us an updated version of their popular karaoke title with SingStar Vol 2.
The second edition of Singstar on the PS3 is hitting the shelves this month and looks set to keep living-room karaoke champions happy. Vol. 2 comes with an additional 30 tracks from artists like The Killers, Eminem, Kaiser Chiefs, Nirvana, Gorillaz and plenty more. Not to mention a growing database of tracks available for download via the online portal SingStore to add to your collection."
The Good:
-Finally, a new gameplay mode
The Bad:
-Everything else is the same
The Ugly:
-The sight of us

It was earlier today that Sony revealed that karaoke classic SingStar was due to receive an Online Battle mode, due to be introduced in an update available in June.
However those that love to sing to their hearts content can gain access to the new mode prior to this, by applying to participate in the Beta.

Now that I got a PlayStation 3 for Christmas, however, I was able to dive straight into the SingStar pool head first! Before, I gave Lips good reviews because I didn't really have that much to compare it to. But now that I've had a chance to play both games, I thought it might be interesting to pit them against each other and see who comes out on top."
BeefJack writes: "A 'Party Picks' Track Pack is set to hit for SingStar to round off the New Year featuring such numbers as "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood and "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate. In addition, there's a couple of standalone tracks for play such as the long awaited inclusion of "I Would Do Anything For Love" by Meat Loaf officially making my personal collection complete."
