PSX Extreme writes: "Konami may have been one of the original pioneers in the explosive music genre, but they've since taken a backseat to the likes of Harmonix and Neversoft (and publishers Activision and MTV Games). However, that doesn't mean they won't continue to make contributions to the ever-growing category in question, which is why Karaoke Revolution will be coming your way later this year. Following in the footsteps of SingStar, and of course, previous karaoke games released by Konami, Revolution should be the most polished and accomplished title yet. By now, the fans are familiar with the idea that once sounded alien; you simply pick up a surprisingly heavy plastic microphone and sing your fool head off. All you have to do is match the corresponding prompts on the screen in front of you, and you had best hope your pitch doesn't waver. Well, it probably will, but that doesn't mean you can't have any fun, right? Karaoke Revolution should be the quintessential party game."
With the cancellation of American Idol, Shacknews takes a look at the short-lived career of American Idol video games.
Never understood why they made these games. None of them were particular done well. Everyone wants to be a STAR. lol!!
Im glad that fake phony show is Finally cancelled .
singers not pick by Simon, Paula or Randy but by executive hiding behind cameras. if you follow judges eyes before voting they quickly looking at executive producer approval who go to hollywood .
fake show ...... would not be one bit surprised if "The Voice" the same.
WC: Have you ever owned a video game that was considered taboo? I mean a game that was either so awkward or so terrible that you had to play it behind closed doors and/or stash it the moment you heard a knock on your door? Those are the kind of video games every gamer is embarrassed to own. Here is a list of ten such titles for you to better understand.
The Mario Party Series does not deserve to be on the list. Drunk friends playing Mario Party it pure gold.
"DNF manage to sell pretty well, and there are those who even dared to post gameplay videos of it on YouTube. Have these people no shame? Don’t they at least feel embarrassed?"
nope duke nukem wasn't the only one to get a crap sequel: turok, wolfenstein ,quake and some other game series got really bad sequels some may be intentionally like postal 3 but generally all were bad games for each respective series. DNF doesnt stand out being a the worst because there´s clearly alot of bad games out there.
The only game i was embarrassed to own was Turning Point..such a cool idea ruined by rushed development.
The author seems to have a hang up on sexual themes being embarrassing. I'll admit some of the things mentioned are cringe worthy in this regard, but if people are embarrassed because of innuendo in their games then they probably have other issues to deal with. By his reasoning, we should be embarrassed by 99% of all sitcoms that we may enjoy.
This past season of Fox' hit reality TV series, “American Idol,” created quite a stir when singer Pia Toscano was voted off the show before the finals. The third-place Toscano had wowed the judges with her voice. She’s now wowing sold out concert attendees across the nation as part of the American Idols Live 2011 tour. Toscano took a break from singing on stage with the Top 11 Idols to talk about her other love – video games – in this exclusive interview. She’s hooked on Mortal Kombat, just don’t ask this gamer for a favorite character’s name.
She's pretty, but just once it would be nice if a celebrity could actually answer the game-related questions that are asked to them. She clearly isn't "hooked" on Mortal Kombat if she didn't know any of the games were in 3D, and can't name any of the characters. >_>
