SingStar Rock Ballads ahoy News

Sony has crooned into our news ear this morning that a new version of SingStar is coming to PS2.

This time it takes inspiration from the warbling delights of Rock Ballads, and will be available to buy with or without a microphone in late September.

Paramount to your success when bellowing out Meatloaf or swaying to Duran Duran will be the size of your shoulder pads, audacity of your mullet, and how well timed your clap-and-spin dance is.
