After playing SingStar for twelve hours in the name of charity, I must confess that I've gained a new appreciation for singing games. It's little wonder, then, that I am actually looking forward to Microsoft's Lips, even if the above commercial seems to suggest that only total pricks play it.
I don't know what it is about games aimed at the "casual" market, but it seems that their creators feel compelled to portray the intended consumer as a detestable retard. Literally all commercials for these types of games play out exactly the same. It's surprising that the industry hasn't just decided to re-use the same advert and change the game logos where appropriate. It'd save money during these bleak economic times.
I must say though, that the implied Lesbian Tension Interlude partway through is a welcome touch.
Despite this commercial doing its best to put me off, I am still planning to pick up Lips and put the thing through its paces for a Destructoid review. Will this game hit all the right notes, or should it be going for a song? Stay tuned for that, and more crap puns, only on Destructoid.

I stay with my lovely UltraStar
But I can't feel a drip on the strip, it's a trip" - Will Smith, Miami
Jim is the british Will Smith.
If you don't have any nails handy, you could just use an umbrella. ella. ella. ella.
Also, what the fuck was that fucking half naked prostitute of an in-video advertisement doing walking across the scree, seriously. That is more annoying than any other advertisement I've seen ever, all I could think about was how much I wanted to end her.
My astute observation now fills me with journalism.
This game should be a laugh.
