It Is Inevitable

Games like Singstar, Guitar Hero, Rock Band gave us karaoke in the home, as well as air guitar and air drumming, but with props. And actual feedback if you are sucking badly.

Now the market is a tad saturated with music games. I mean, there's only a limited number of gameplay variations you can do (it's just hitting buttons in the correct order and with exact timing), and everything else is just content. And not everyone is going to buy a new plastic guitar the latest Guitar Hero Boyzone comes out...

But it is inevitable that a new wave of music games will invigorate the market once more. And it will be fueled by Project Natal.

Think "So You Think You Can Dance" in front of your own television. Let the Natal controller find out how close you can match the indicated dance routines. Upload your performances immediately to Youtube for fan feedback. See furniture sales soar to replace all the broken ones that you couldn't avoid while making that one high-speed turn.

It could be called Hip Hop Hero (yes you heard it here first). And at least Simon Cowell or Paula Abdul won't be around to hurt your feelings (though you do and horribly deserve it).

In fact, I fully expect this to become an April Fools game in few weeks time.
