Two enticing retro-themed press releases hit my in-tray today. First, Sony has announced the latest SingStar title - due out just in time for us all to humiliate ourselves at various Christmas parties. SingStar Legends features the following unforgettable hits:
Elton John - Rocket Man The Beach Boys - Surfin' USA The Police - Roxanne Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire The Jackson 5 - I Want You Back Tina Turner - What's Love Got To Do With It? John Lennon - Imagine Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit Ben E King - Stand By Me David Bowie - Life on Mars? The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody
There really is something for everyone on here - apart from that weird cousin who only listens to Cannibal Corpse.
Almost as moving to me - although Greg will hate it - is the Sega Genesis Collection, a collection of 30 Mega Drive greats on one PS2 or PSP disc. In among the treasures are Altered Beast, Sonic The Hedgehog, Shinobi III, Phantasy Star and Golden Axe. Players will also be able to unlock hidden extras like game trivia and interviews with the developers. The PSP version will also offer Wi-Fi multiplayer. This one's out in the US in 'the Fall' and shouldn't take long to tumble over to bargain buckets on this side of the Atlantic.
