Plus view performances from players.
Sony has relaunched the SingStar website with all sorts of new features that let you browse the series’ back catalogue of songs and view performances from other players.
The new website’s catalogue section lets you rifle through over 1500 songs that are available to SingStar fans through the numerous disc versions and on the SingStore. You can also preview them and see the best performances from other players.
Those performances are ones you can upload from within the game, either as videos or still shots, and if you’re not bothered about the songs you can just browse those until you’re merry in the face.

Along with a demo of the new CSI.
Microsoft has been busily updating the Xbox Live Marketplace these past 24 hours with treats including a redux of Pac-Man Championship Edition, the third Alien Breed episode and a demo for CSI: Fatal Conspiracy.
Pac-Man Championship Edition DX costs 800 Microsoft Points (£6.80 / 9.60) and promises to spice up Eurogamer office favourite Pac-Man Championship Edition with new visuals and sounds and a larger number of mazes. Queue it up if you’re so inclined.
Alien Breed 3: The Descent also costs 800 MSP and you can queue that too if you fancy another go-round slaughtering monsters in the deep dark of space. Check out our reviews of Alien Breed Evolution and Alien Breed 2: Assault to see whether it’s up your street.

Eligible games include Braid, Rez, etc.
With winter drawing in and only one evening a week to spend watching The Apprentice, it’s getting more tempting to spend loads of money on downloadable entertainment but don’t worry, if you spend 1600 Microsoft Points on certain items at the moment, Microsoft will give you 400 MSP back.
All you have to do is download a Microsoft Game Studios Offer gamerpic and buy eligible items before the end of 22nd November to a total of 1600 MSP and you will get your free points, which will be sent to you within four weeks as an automatic account top-up or in an email as a redeemable code.
The line-up isn’t too shabby, either. Eligible Xbox Live Arcade games include Ikaruga, Rez HD, Braid, N+ and The Dishwasher, and there’s also downloadable content for Halo 3, Gears of War 2 and others.

Square Enix confirms simultaneous retail and PlayStation Network launch for multiplayer PSP action game.
The next year is shaping up to be a big one for fans of multiplayer monster hunting games on the PSP. While fans of the genre wait for Capcom to confirm international releases for Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, they will soon be able to check out the first entries into the genre from Namco Bandai and Square Enix. D3Publisher has confirmed plans to bring Namco Bandai’s successful God Eater franchise to North America, and Square Enix today nailed down a January 25 North American release date for Lord of Arcana.
Set for a simultaneous release in stores and on the PlayStation Network, Lord of Arcana will allow players to go it alone, but a local cooperative mode will support questing parties of up to four. Players will also be able to outfit their characters with customized weapons and armor.
The story of Lord of Arcana revolves around a powerful stone called Arcana, said to be “the source of all order in the world.” Only the most powerful can lay claim to the stone, so players will need to hunt scores of monsters–which the publisher says have been designed by “world-renowned artists”–if they want to discover its secrets.
For more on Lord of Arcana, check out GameSpot’s previous coverage.
