Karaoke Revolution

Description

Karaoke Revolution allows PlayStation 2 gamers to show off their singing skills and get real-time feedback on their performances. It's similar to Dance Dance Revolution, but with singing instead of dancing. 

Players sing using the Logitech PS2 Headset (or other approved PlayStation 2 USB microphone devices). The game rates the player's performance based on their vocal pitch and timing. A visual indicator shows the player's current pitch in real time and also the pitch of vocals of the original song. If the original notes of the song are too high for the player's vocal range, the game allows the player to sing at higher or lower octaves to hit the correct notes. 

If the player sings well, the crowd gets into the performance by clapping, cheering and dancing. If the performance is bad, the audience becomes bored and the user can get booed off the stage.

Single Player Game Modes include:

Arcade Mode: where users sing 3–5 songs and try to score big points

Showtime Mode: Players start at a living room party and work to a huge concert at the Enormobowl. Additional venues include: a subway station, The Pit Stop, a county fair, the Superstar TV show, Club Avalanche, and a royal hall.

Karaoke Mode: Players can enjoy singing the song without having to worry about bring rated or scored.

Multi-player Game Mode include:

Arcade Mode: 2–8 players perform songs and try to be the player with the highest score at the end of each round. The player who wins the most rounds is the winner.

Karaoke Competition: 3–8 players compete against each other. The main twist of this mode is that each player rates the performance of the other players to determine the winner of the Karaoke competition.

Over 35 songs from the '70s, '80s, '90s, and current hits including (as made famous by):

"Addicted" (Simple Plan), "All You Wanted" (Michelle Branch), "Are You Happy Now?"

Kill Switch

Description

An innovative third person shooter that makes heavy use of a 'cover system'. This allows the player to 'attach' to objects so that they can fire at the enemy from a safe position. 

Basically you are some sort of enhanced soldier with no memory of who or where you came from. The story unfolds over the course of fifteen missions, spanning 5 levels, and through FMV cinematics. 

At first you'll cause all sorts of mayhem in various global hotspots, but as the past is made clear, the real enemy and their ultimate objective will be revealed.

Kakuto Chojin: Back Alley Brutal

Description

Kakuto Chojin is a hand-to-hand melee fighter, where you fight with your hands and feet instead of weapons and powermoves.

There are twelve fighters to choose from, each with their own fighting style, such as Jeet Kune Do, Kickboxing, Wrestling, etc. Each fighter also has his or her own special moves, which are more powerful than the basic moves.

KC is un-scripted, meaning every hit, jab, kick, punch, etc. will be executed in real-time, meaning a kick to the head won't always produce the same falling animation.

The game modes available are Tournament, 2 Player and 4 Player Battle Royal

Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes

Description

This is the prequel to the action/RTS Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders for the Xbox. Six of the sub-characters from The Crusaders are now playable main characters in the Heroes, along with one new character Walter. Each has its own story campaign.

The gameplay is similar to the predecessor, featuring action, RTS, and RPG elements. The player controls several troops, ranging from basic types such as infantry, archers, spearmen, and cavalry archers; to more advanced ones like siege units, mortars, aerial bombers, wyverns, giant scorpions, and mammoths. In Heroes, there are also four new elemental troops: ice maidens, earth golems, thunder rhinos, and flame wraiths.

The troops engage in RTS style combat, although commands are issued to entire troops instead of individual soldiers. When the troop led by the main character enters battle, the player fights enters 3rd person action mode. Each of the seven playable characters has its unique set of attack moves and combos. Some are quick and agile; others like the ogre Urukubarr are slow but powerful.

After each battle the player enters the World Map and upgrades all of his troops with new skills, weapons, and armor. Hiring different officers to lead troops gives them special magic abilities. The player moves to different locations in the World Map to engage in new battles.

The multiplayer aspect has been significantly improved in Heroes to allow 3 on 3 strategy mode (The Crusaders supported 2 on 2), leader combat between only the playable characters, or co-operative mode against invasion from CPU controlled troops.

Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders

Description

This is a rare breed of console game: an RTS. It is the sequel of Kingdom Under Fire: A War of Heroes, by Korean developers Phantagram which was released only for PCs with little success. The sequel combines traditional RTS gameplay with action elements in order to better accommodate console gamers and the lack of a mouse.

Men (the kingdoms of Hironeiden and Ecclesia) and the Dark Legion (comprised of various evil fantasy races) clash for dominance of their world in a four part single player campaign. Fifty years have passed since the Second Great War of Heroes, whose events were described in the previous game. The Ancient Heart, the legendary artifact which caused the War has vanished, the war itself was forgotten and peace reigned over the land. Or so it seemed...

The player assumes the role of commander for each of the four armies which take part in this war, and must lead his troops to victory by actually fighting in the battles and also by issuing orders to them. The hero accumulates experience points while fighting, thus increasing his skills.
