For big kids, karaoke is dependent on friends, good track lists and alcohol. Remove any one of
those elements - especially the alcohol - and there's probably going to be a problem. So, it's not
unexpected when potentially sober and lonely video game reviewers get their hands on Lips, it's
going to result in some scattered scores. Given Europe's long-standing history with SingStar, it's
really not surprising to see Eurogamer's writeup on Lips being less a review and more a comparison
between the two franchises.
Videogamer (80/100): "It's the only game of its type on the 360, it's got brilliant microphones and
it at least tries to allow you to expand the potential track-list to infinity. If you like karaoke,
and you have friends or family that like karaoke, it's a damn sight better in-law entertainment
option than charades this Christmas, and for that we should be eternally grateful"
Kikizo (80/100): "While the ability to sing to your own music collection has its problems, overall
Lips is absolutely brilliant fun, as well suited to a Saturday morning with the kids as it is a
late return from the pub. In the end, that's what this kind of game should be about, and as a rival
to SingStar, Lips can happily call itself equal. "
Gamespot (65/100): "The wireless microphones are convenient and innovative, and they make it
difficult to go back to corded models afterwards. The song selection is also excellent, with 40
songs that are varied in style but united in anthemic quality. That said, the game's lack of camera
support, vocal playback, and simple online functionality disappoint, especially given their proven
success in Sony's SingStar series. Even worse, the nonexistent difficulty level means this is a
game with practically no appeal for single players, aside from those who want to collect the easy
achievement points."
Eurogamer (50/100): "But the saddest thing about Lips is that it suffers in comparison to
SingStar's gameplay. We've long moaned about legacy issues with SingStar - that it can't cope with
vibrato, punishes you for tailing off at the right time, and has a bit of lag in audio playback -
but despite Lips' fancy mics and superficial improvements, it's too easy, too isolated from other
players, and too buggy. The irony is that SingStar has glitches as well, now and then, and casual
gamers seem to put up with this, whereas Microsoft - architect of the Red Rings - has little
goodwill left to cash in on that front. Casual or not, though, you should only buy this if you
can't get SingStar."

The free and open source office suite OpenOffice.org might
be a killer app for many, but its inability to properly display documents created in the
proprietary Microsoft Office formats hinders its widespread acceptance in multi-OS business
environments with many legacy .doc and .xls files. If changing over to an open document format is
not an option, try SoftMaker Office.
It's no OpenOffice.org-killer, but it's a full featured office suite that has great compatibility with Microsoft Office. Sure,
it costs $80, but you can increase your karma by running it on Linux.

pWhile we're treading water pending the rollout of our Drupal-based site management project, I
thought it might be worth mentioning some of the principles and assumptions behind it. Here's one:
No editions, please./p pI've seen developers put a great deal of effort into creating Web content
managment systems that are intended to reflect the edition structure -- daily, weekly, monthly,
whatever -- of a legacy (print) product./p pDon't do it. We live in a 24x7 world. The Internet is
always on. Information should be available when it makes sense./p pI'm not denying the existence of
circadian rhythm, nor am I suggesting that news organizations forget all about daily cycles. Most
people get up in the morning to engage with a new day, and most newspapers will still be printing
daily editions for awhile yet. We still need to plan for days, and publish some information with
respect to daily cycles./p pBut it need not, and should not, rule our lives, or dictate the
organizational metaphors we use to display information online./p

Remove any one of those elements - especially the alcohol - and there's probably going to be a
problem. So, it's not unexpected when potentially sober and lonely video game a

emLips/em, it's going to result in some scattered scores. Given Europe's long-standing history with
emSingStar/em, it's really not surprising to see Eurogamer's writeup on emLips/em being less a
review and more a comparison between the two franchises.br / ul lia

the only game of its type on the 360, it's got brilliant microphones and it at least tries to allow
you to expand the potential track-list to infinity. If you like karaoke, and you have friends or
family that like karaoke, it's a damn sight better in-law entertainment option than charades this
Christmas, and for that we should be eternally gratefulspan id="bodyText"span

"/span/spanspan class="body-1"While the ability to sing to your own music collection has its
problems, overall Lips is absolutely brilliant fun, as well suited to a Saturday morning with the
kids as it is a late return from the pub. In the end, that's what this kind of game should be
about, and as a rival to emSingStar/em, emLips/em can happily call itself equal. /spanspan

(strong65/100/strong): "/span/spanThe wireless microphones are convenient and innovative, and they
make it difficult to go back to corded models afterwards. The song selection is also excellent,
with 40 songs that are varied in style but united in anthemic quality. That said, the game's lack
of camera support, vocal playback, and simple online functionality disappoint, especially given
their proven success in Sony's emSingStar/em series. Even worse, the nonexistent difficulty level
means this is a game with practically no appeal for single players, aside from those who want to
collect the easy achievement points."/li lia

"But the saddest thing about Lips is that it suffers in comparison to emSingStar/em's gameplay.
We've long moaned about legacy issues with emSingStar/em - that it can't cope with vibrato,
punishes you for tailing off at the right time, and has a bit of lag in audio playback - but
despite emLips/em' fancy mics and superficial improvements, it's too easy, too isolated from other
players, and too buggy. The irony is that SingStar has glitches as well, now and then, and casual
gamers seem to put up with this, whereas Microsoft - architect of the Red Rings - has little
goodwill left to cash in on that front. Casual or not, though, you should only buy this if you
can't get emSingStar/em."/li /ulp style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px sol | |
