EuroGamer - A grateful father is attempting a 24-hour non-stop solo SingStar marathon this April to raise cash for the hospital that helped save his infant daughter.
<br />
<br /> 29-year-old Norwich man Julian Hill is submitting himself to the ordeal as a 'thank you' to London's Great Ormond Street children's hospital, who last year successfully treated his seriously ill one-year-old, Amelia.
<br />
<br /> Born with a congenital heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot, which reduces the organ's ability to circulate oxygenated blood, she urgently needed an operation to save her life.
<br />
<br /> Great Ormond Street duly stepped up, and following grueling open-heart surgery she's now back at home and thriving.
<br />
<br /> Hill's world record attempt takes place in the Ambassador's Bloomsbury Hotel in London on 13th April. He's managed to recruit Sony to his cause, with the SingStar publisher providing all the equipment he needs.
A list of the new SingStore Update
The SingStore has its weekly update of content. Some of the songs included in this update include; Daddy Cool and Turning Japanese.
40 new songs will be making there way to the SingStore for the Playstation 3 on March 30th, including hit songs from legendary artists like Aerosmiths Cryin; Tom Jones Its Not Unusual; and Elton Johns Crocodile Rock. There will also be a classical song pack with works from infamous composers such as Mozart, di Capua and Puccini.
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has said it's to cancel multiple titles in development across its UK studios, which are responsible for the MotorStorm, WipEout and SingStar series, among others. It has been decided that production on a small number of projects within London Studio, Studio Liverpool, and Evolution Studios will be streamlined or closed due to a portfolio review and project prioritisation, the firm told GI.biz in a statement.
PushSquare: In Europe, SingStar is amazing. That's because the SingStore is packed with piles and piles and piles of good karaoke DLC. In the US, SingStar is less amazing. That's because there's hardly any great DLC across the pond. Thanks to a deal between Sony and Universal Music, that's all set to change.
TGH Writes: Thats right folks because there is still yet more singing to be done to become a SingStar! Sony has updated Singstar with version 5.0. What does it do? Well find out after the link.
TGH: It seems the recent patch also added guitar support? At least the trophy descriptions would read that way. Check it out!
