Gaming column: SingStar ABBA
The gameplay itself is exactly like most SingStar games, so gamers should not expect anything new there. It?d be nice if Sony jump on board with wireless mics like other karaoke games, just because being tethered to your console is so 2007 in music gaming. The game?s price is a tad cheaper than most full PS3 releases, but again, it?s all a matter of whether you think $40 for all ABBA all the time is your cup of tea.
Gaming column: Rise of the Argonauts
Rise of the Argnonauts also features one of the best leveling-up systems I have seen in years, which means it?s completely wasted in a game like this which possesses little action. Pleasing the Greek gods and being rewarding with nifty upgrades is satisfying to see in action. Hopefully other developers crib this process and inject it into a much more action-packed game, because you won?t get that with this title.
