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. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you'll ever be able to use them with Guitar Hero World Tour. Activision has confirmed with VG247 that they have no plans to patch their title to work with the peripheral. Boo! On the other hand, Harmonix has stated publicly that Lips microphone support would be something they'd be patching into Rock Band 2 on the Xbox 360. That was in November. It's March. The Lips microphones still don't work with Rock Band. Boo! Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.

6:30 PM on 10.31.2011 Addition of the Bastion narrator makes any videogame sexyWhat if the silken-voiced but incessant narrator from Bastion scored a few gigs working with other, bigger games? Would the simple gameplay exercise of running from one edge of the screen to the other become a grand journey into consciousness? Or would you just try to f*ck with the guy?
