Sony Computer Entertainment Australia today announced SingStar: Chart Hits, a compilation of hit songs for the popular series SingStar.
With a gold star range of chart topping tracks to choose from, you can pit your vocal skills against artists ranging from Mika, with We Are Golden, to La Roux’s Bulletproof. Or, perhaps you’re destined to be the next Australian Idol after perfecting Wes Carr’s Feels Like Woah or Guy Sebastian’s Art of Love. You can also rock out with Australian indie favourites Wolfmother and The Presets.
The game will be available this July on PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3.
Portal 2 was scheduled to receive a pre-E3 event, but it seems like they just changed their minds, or they are just messing with ours. This official email is being sent by none other than Aperture Science:
Dear Subject Name Here,
Aperture Science is pleased to inform you that we have partnered with Valve to announce the gala CANCELLATION of the June 14 Portal 2 event at the Regal Theater. The event will be replaced by a surprise. And even though the cancellation of the event certainly counts as a surprise, we are pleased to further announce that the cancellation of the event is not THE surprise. However, per International treaties regarding the definition of the word “surprise”, of which both Aperture Science and Valve are signatories, the time, date and content of the actual surprise will only become available as you experience the surprise.
If you’d like to ask fruitless questions about the E3 Portal 2 surprise or, more fruitfully, schedule an appointment to attend a Portal 2 screening at the Valve booth during E3, please contact Valve’s Special Envoy to Surprises, Doug Lombardi.
Thank you for [[RECORD SCRATCH!!!]]
PS: The surprising record scratch is also not the surprise.
Of course everything is completely suspicious at the moment, that’s what Valve loves to do, and we love too. We will need to wait for E3 to see this mistery revealed.
Nokia N900 users rejoice! Since the Nokia N900 was launched end of last year, Ovi Store for the N900 users has been quite bland with just some basic free apps and not much else. This was due to a problem in the payment system and DRM issues with the N900 which caused some issues earlier this year where users could potentially download apps through the backdoor without paying for the apps.
It has taken quite a few months to finally have paid apps back on the N900’s Ovi store and this is great news for the N900 users worldwide as it means more commercial applications will be available. Nokia is starting to roll out apps slowly and the database is still syncing across the globe so it will take a few more days before we see some more apps.
Some of the new paid apps which has appeared today are:
– Angry Birds Level Pack 1
– Morpho Quick Panarama Pro
– Diabetes Meal Planner
In the mean time, feast your eyes on this video which shows off the gaming power of the N900 and some of the games and apps that will soon become available on the Ovi store.
The old classic Earthworm Jim is definitely seeing a remodeling when it comes to this trailer. We see how the game’s polished appearance is after being upgraded to HD. Not only that but we are treated to seeing the co-op levels for the first time. With the option to play with up to three other friends it’ll definitely make for some groovy times.
Also we see a couple of new levels and even a boss which has made internet fame, the keyboard cat. Lets just hope that no one has any fish nearby when there is a co-op match going on; it’d be hard to resist all of those worms. There has been no estimated release date yet for Earthworm Jim, but one can guess it will be sometime this year.
June 10th. Mark that day down on your calendar because that is the day that gaming will take the full step into 3D. Sony’s PS3 will be experiencing an update with three of their games. Bear in mind this is an announcement for the Japanese games but it is extremely likely that the same exact update will be occurring around the world.
Wipeout HD, Star Strike HD and Mr. Pain will all be receiving the third dimensional make over. Wipeout HD and Star Strike HD will be getting the update at no charge, while Mr. Pain will have to pay a bit for his makeover, costing roughly $3-$4 for the update.
So now we shall see exactly how well the gaming community will welcome 3D in their video games. Will people enjoy them? Or will they see this as another gimmick which will quickly lose momentum after not being adopted by many companies. We are already seeing a full video game in the form of Killzone 3 embracing the 3D option, will others? Time will tell.
In Episode 1 left many people were left curious about Thorne and her motives. This latest episode explains her in more depth and answers most of your questions (well at least my questions)
This episode shows Thornes’ story and how she unleashed the mutant virus upon the city. (Why does this sound oddly familiar?)
Of course, it ends right when more questions need to be answered. Hopefully the next episode comes out next week if this stay a weekly release.
Deus Ex 3 or also known as Deus Ex: Human Revolution has a new trailer planned for Friday 4th June. I don’t know about you guys, but I loved the first game and am pretty stoked for this game.

A small collection of images for the next instalment in the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise have hit the internet. This follows on from the unsuprising revelation in May that PES 2011 was being worked on and coming out later this year.
Seemingly from some screens, Lionel Messi looks to be the mascot of the series for the second year running. Last year he featured on the PES 2010 front cover, as well as fronting some advertising campaigns for the game, and it looks like he is set to do the same this year which is understandable considering his current title of ‘FIFA World Player of the Year’.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 is due out for PC, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii and Xbox 360 this autumn.
