Rec-room idol

GadgetCandy counts down to the PlayStation 2 release of SingStar Rocks!. This is not your parents' karaoke.

But it�s not just good, clean fun. Oh no. The microphones are specially equipped with little bits of tech that judge your pitch, tone and rhythm to give you a score. Our advice: gather around your mates who fare worst at karaoke, line up the mics and sing your heart out.

Oh, and also start doing those vocal exercises.

One catch: The English language options at the SingStar Rocks! website offer British, Irish, Australian and New Zealand choices. North American Flea-readers may have to wait for their chance at SingStar fame.

Fun. The "Karaoke Revolution" games for PS2 and GameCube are pretty fun too; 3 or 4 versions now. It tracks your voice for pitch etc and scores you accordingly. You can basically hum it though if you wanted to, but I guess its then up to your fellow karaoke-ites to boo you off the stage.

It is that pitch/tone/rhythm tracking that impresses me. This plus DDR equals a star in training.
