It was only a matter of time, really... Sony's pulled SingStar Rock Ballads out of its emotional power-bag for SingStar Rock Ballads.
You know what that means, don't you? Meat Loaf, Duran Duran, Boston and Nickelback to name just a few. Needless to say, as soon as SPOnG got the announcement Reo Speedwagon came on and we all started weeping to Keep On Loving You, while lighters were waved dangerously around our resident Aussie's beard. Alas, the track didn't make the cut, so we'll make do with rocking out to I'm With You by Avril Lavigne...
Rock Ballads will hit the PS2 in late September. It will come in two editions: with mics for £39.99 or on its lonesome for £19.99. Unfortunately, Sony has specified: “hairspray not included”.
