SingStar Latino (PS2/PS3)

SingStar Latino makes its debut for the PS2 and PS3 with 30 chart-topping Spanish-language singles and music videos from today’s hottest Latin artists and legends including David Bisbal, Natalia Lafourcade, Jon Secada and others. As with previous SingStar titles, SingStar Latino creates an interactive social singing experience by incorporating technology that recognizes the player’s pitch, tone and rhythm to accurately score them as they perform to real songs and music videos. The game also features various game play modes such as solo, duet, multi-player and party modes that increase overall player enjoyment.

“GameStop is heavily invested in the Hispanic community and Spanish-language customers, and we’re excited to be the exclusive retail launch partner for SingStar Latino at the start of our holiday shopping season,” said Paul Raines, GameStop’s chief operating officer. “No doubt, this high-quality interactive game will appeal to Spanish-language teens and young adults who have been somewhat overlooked by the music gaming genre to this point.”

SingStar Latino, rated “T” for teen, is now available at select GameStop stores across the country on for PlayStation 3 ($39.99) and PlayStation 2 ($29.99). The microphone accessory is sold separately. GameStop is also hosting special SingStar Latino launch events at select stores this week in Austin, Texas, Phoenix, Ariz., and Sacramento, Calif., featuring top Spanish-language radio stations, giveaways and contests.

Gratuitous Space Battles: The Tribe (PC)

The tribe are a race of galactic pacifists and hippies, hoping to live a dreamlike 'chillaxed' existence between the stars. Depressed and generally given 'bad vibes' by the existence of constant stellar war, they have decided to bring peace to the galaxy by the simple, clean and somewhat ironic route of total eradication of all other life forms.

The tribe is an expansion pack for our indie strategy game 'Gratuitous Space Battles' for the PC. The pack adds an extra playable race to the game, complete with shiny new spaceships to blast apart in gratuitous slow motion. As well as new ship hulls, the game adds two new missions and a scattering of new tribe-specific modules to reflect their emphasis on 'strong hulls and weak shields'. It also introduces the first use of kinetic weapons.

The expansion pack can be installed by anyone with a full copy of the game (and the latest version at that), regardless of whether they bought it direct from the us or from a site such as steam.

Gratuitous Space Battles: The Tribe is now available as digital download for $5.99
