And now for something that totally went under the radar.
Remy has posted on his personal blog about a press release Sony sent out yesterday containing the tracklisting for the upcoming US PS2 release of Singstar. For those of you who haven't heard of the game yet, it's Sony's personal answer to Karaoke Revolution (or better Karaoke Stage) that has up until now has had little to no mention in the U.S. past the PS3 version being mentioned at Sony's E3 press conference this past may.
Fans of the Karaoke Revolution series might be surprised to learn that Singstar is regarded widely as a better game than Konami's outing. Thanks to stronger songlists, features like original music videos, and a very stylish interface it has appealed to the masses in the UK, and practically anyone else who's played it. The game is slated to come out on Nov. 14th at the standard $49.99 price tag for PS2 games, and will include 2 high quality microphones. Now for the songlist, which has been broken down by Remy to separate which european releases the songs original debuted in.
