As far at WTF? moments go, this one has to go down as one of the all time greats. The assembled throng, a mix of game hacks from the UK and mainland Europe and impossibly attractive women hired just to sing and dance, VideoGamer was half expecting Microsoft UK to chuck Welsh singer Duffy on stage inside the swanky Belgravia venue, as they did at E3 in July, to sing 'Mercy' for the hundred millionth time. How wrong they were.
When Aha's Morten Harket took to the stage, grabbed the wireless microphone (complete with flashing LEDs that pulse to the beat of the song), and belted out his classic hit 'Take On Me', nailing that high note without breaking sweat, all thoughts of the horribly underwhelming E3 Duffy performance melted away in a sea of 80s nostalgia. Absolutely awesome.
The team from This Is My Joystick look at their guilty gaming pleasures.
Deus Ex: Invisible War,LEGO Games,Lips, Boogie Bunnies and Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance are a few that get a mention.
With music franchises such as Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Lips continuously pumping out content it can be a little daunting just thinking about all the songs and devotion you need to pour into each music game. Erik Johnsen delves into the assortment of old and new music games/content and whether they warrant excitement and the hype.
i think the whole music simulation genre is slowing down in popularity
it was an amazing way to experience new&old music but now its not much more than greedy companies competing to get the next sequel out as fast as possible with little innovation
Fancy yourself as the as the new lead singer in timeless West End shows such as “Cats” or the “Phantom of the Opera”, wowing crowds and being a part of some of the greatest shows on earth?
