Lips. It’s a Microsoft-published karaoke videogame. The object of the videogame is to blow into a glowing microphone while a real song plays in the background. More air equals more points. Earned points can then be used to buy Galaxies, Super Novas, and rights to Depeche Mode singles. But players don’t have to unlock every song -- the videogame has an Xbox LIVE Marketplace tab with downloadable music for sale. Microsoft updates this list with fresh artists every once in a while, and according to the latest
Lips press release, will continue to do so through October.
Popular Jazz band En Vogue and pop culture success Deep Blue Something have contributed songs to Lips this afternoon. On October 9th, Duncan Sheiks’ “Barely Breathing,” and Erasure’s “Always” will also appear. In fact, every Friday this month will bring new downloadable goodies to the game. Hit the break for the full list, but prepare yourself, these songs are f’ing stellar.

Does anybody actually play Lips? Even when it was new on the market, the only person I knew to actually have spent any significant time with the game was Anthony Burch. Here's how that turned out in case you missed it.

I really dig singing games, but I will admit that I never got around to picking up Lips for the 360. What can I say -- I know I don't listen to much of the norm when it comes to popular music, but I just wasn't that attracted...
If you know me, you know that I love me some karaoke. I also own Lips, but admittedly haven't played it since some time last year. But they keep pumping out downloadable content for it, so someone must be playing it. Right? T...

We all know that LIPS was a huge runaway success that brought the casual crowd to Microsoft, draining the Wii of its fanbase and driving Nintendo into bankruptcy. Based upon that interstellar smash hit, it's hardly surprising...
I've been playing Guitar Hero: Metallica on the Xbox 360 for the past few days (review incoming!), and I'm kind of wondering why no one told me -- the wireless microphones that shipped with Microsoft's karaoke game Lips work ...
For the Xbox 360's first foray into the karaoke game genre, Lips wasn't too bad a start. However, there was one huge problem -- you didn't have to sing at all to win the game, which more or less countered the game's entire ex...
While Lips certainly might not be the end-all, be-all of karaoke or music games, the microphones are damned nice. For one, they're wireless. They also have a nice weight to them. And, best of all, they light up. Unfortun...
