Lips, Sonic Unleashed, Resistance 2 and Armored Core: For AnswerLips Lips is Microsoft’s long awaited sing-a-long game debut on the Xbox 360. Features include the standard one person sing mode, as well as the option to sing along or against a friend.
Songs are contributed by artists such as Duran Duran, Beyonce and Kaiser Chiefs, with up to 40 more to choose from. If this isn’t enough, there is a freestyle mode that allows a player to plug in their MP3 player and choose a track from it to sing to.
The wireless microphones included in the pack, stylishly light up and have built in motion sensors, allowing a player to gain bonus points if they strike a move mid song.
“Lips opens things up completely, and has Christmas party written all over it”
The game is available only for the Xbox 360 for £44.99 solo and around £55 with microphones.
Sonic Unleashed is a new adventure that sees the well known blue hedgehog, Sonic, racing against time to stop Dr. Eggman’s evil plan to take over the world.
In this instalment, the evil scientist has unleashed a powerful ray that has not only divided the world into several continents, but has also turned Sonic into a were-hedgehog by night.
Fans of the original Sonic games will be pleased to know that day-time levels have a distinct similarity to the 2D versions, but night-time levels will unleash new combat powers and an unexpected storyline.
“Sonic is back to what he does best, super high speed action. But this time he is truly in a world-wide race against time… as the sun sets, a new adventure awakens.”
The game is available on the DS, PS2, Wii and Xbox 360 with prices ranging from £19.99 to £29.99.
However, en-route to a base, the plane is shot down and you are left to find safe passage through a post apocalyptic world. Resistance 2 is again a first person shooter, with a slightly larger array of weaponry and prettier landscapes to admire.
“It's a solid shooter with amazing visuals and a lengthy campaign.”
The game is available on the PS3 for £39.99.
Military superpower, the League Corporations, have moved everyone into aerial communities to stop contamination, however ground based resistance movement, ORCA, are amassing an arsenal to attack the LG and end their rule of the planet.
You play as a mercenary in control of a high tech robot suit, though which side you choose to fight for is up to you.
“Regardless, Armored Core: For Answer is a worthwhile addition to the series.”
The game is available on the PS3 and Xbox 360 for £39.99.

News In Brief
| Research grants announcedKingston University last week received a 5.3% increase in its government grant for research and teaching. The Higher Education Funding Council for England announced that Kingston would receive £73.3m in 2009/10. The average national increase was 4%, while a number of universities, including the London School of Economics, saw their funding reduced. |
| Kingston student named Microsoft 'Intern of the Year'A Kingston student won Microsoft’s 'Intern of the Year' award after a process he created was used by the computer giant’s worldwide sales force. George Avlastimovas, a Business Information Technology student, came up with a new form for staff requesting bonuses while on a placement as part of his course. He said that the internship gave him “a fantastic opportunity to shape and mould the role to suit my skills.” |
| Bring your own mugA money saving scheme has been extended to the Penryhn Road campus. Lecturers and students who bring their own mug to the Picton Room will receive a 5p discount off any hot drink. The scheme, already trialling at Kingston Hill, was introduced in a bid to encourage sustainability and cut back on packaging produced by the university. If successful, it will be extended to all the foodstores. |
| Cheeky cat in hallsGorgeous George the cat is much loved and petted by the residents and staff at Middle Mill Halls, but, his cheeky antics have got him into trouble. He can often be found pacing the car park meowing at passers by, lounging in reception or nipping into halls for extra strokes. However, halls management are now concerned that this felicitous feline is breaching the licence and have put up a sign asking students to prevent him sneaking into bedrooms and becoming overfed. |
