DO NOT WANT
XBOX LIVE PRIMETIME Instead
of screaming at the TV game show idiots giving wrong answers to easy
questions, you can become that idiot! Microsoft announced an array of corny TV game shows coming to their Live service, allowing you to play along with friends or the rest of the world. Come on down—you're the next
contestant on the
Price Is Absolutely Wrong!
DO NOT WANT
YOU'RE IN THE MOVIES Okay,
we get it. Everyone's going through this
turn-your-video-game-console-into-a-karaoke-machine phase, but excuse
us for not wanting to look like idiots. The Xbox is going to be
featuring a new "game" called
You're In The Movies,
which, using the Live Vision camera, puts you into made-up embarrassing
movie scenes like being attacked by bees and dancing in a disco hall.
We're giving the cold shoulder to this
Saturday Night Fever.
DO NOT WANT
LIPS The only thing more annoying than the name of the game,
Lips, is what it is: karaoke. With
Guitar Hero: World Tour and
Rock Band 2 around the corner and
Singstar already
here, there is absolutely no reason for another "game" to allow you to
sing your heart out. The only difference between this iteration and
anything out now is the wireless microphone that is packaged with the
game. Apparently, it has lights on it...very pretty lights. Interested
now?
ON THE FENCE
NEW XBOX LIVE DASHBOARD Just
when you thought you were getting comfortable with Xbox Live's blade
navigation, Microsoft took the wraps off their new dashboard debuting
this fall. While we're not totally against changing the often
cumbersome interface currently on Live, the jury is still out on what
the customizable options will exactly be. Are gamer tags gone? Are Live
themes done for? We don't exactly know the details at this point, so
we're going to go with not wanting this, at least for now.
