Lips Loves The '80s! (But Only In The UK!)
I don't know what's worse — that it took this long for the Lips series to branch out into a more specific genre for an add-on disc, or that it totally snuck up on me! Lips: I Love The '80s is apparently due out in the UK on April 2. I was really hoping for a US release, because I would have been all over that like I don't even know what! Unfortunately, I contacted Microsoft, and this is a UK release only. Sigh. Hopefully some of these songs will make it to our shores as DLC because I absolutely love '80s music, and they're are the songs I've always sang the most in Lips. And with tunes like "The Look of Love" by ABC, "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama, "Too Shy" by Kajagoogoo and "Kids In America" by Kim Wilde, I'd be in heaven! I'll put the full 40-track list after the jump, if you're a UK reader and curious as to what you're getting. If you're a US Lips fan, I don't recommend making that jump, because it'll just upset you. Seriously, I can't even express my disappointment in words here. It's awful...

Other stuff like this: eighties, i love the 80s, inis, lips, microsoft, video, xbox 360
I think sonmeone at MS is confused. The title has to hit NA for two reasons.
A) avatar awards are already present for NA players
B) and so are the achievements.
Not a single 1st party title has had unattainable achievements and the only game I know of that has them is the Hellboy game which never had all 1000 GS and instead was looking at free dlc to add the 3-4 missing achievements. DLC never came and the game never got 1k'ed
Europe, not UK.
Or both if you want.
Dear Wootini,
You warned me, and I didn't listen. I don't even have any of the Lips games, but I love 80s music, and I totally would have bought this because of the amazing track list. Now I am stuck mourning the loss of something that I can't have that I didn't even know that I wanted. I should have listened to you. /sob
