Now it’s time to see what Sony’s massive machine has to offer to make Christmas a bit more bearable if you’re bored of Bond films and sprouts. The most obvious place to start is Sony’s karaoke game SingStar which they’ve migrated over to the PS3. The latest additions are SingStar Volume 3 and the SingStar ABBA add-ons with loads of new tracks to sing along to with those...
