The X Factor (PS3)

Lots of people think they have the X Factor. Plenty of them don't. Some don't even get through to that introductory round where the judges ridicule wannabe sing stars for five minutes in front of a feverish audience. It all sounds like a bit of hard work for a karaoke contest – if you want to bring that experience to the living room without the real-life pressure, then the official X Factor game is the one you want.

Get some microphone controllers and take a virtual journey through the stages of the hit reality TV show. You'll get to see all that the contestants do during production: the initial auditions, the boot camp training and the visiting of judges' houses.

Even though these music moguls aren't real, they can still give you a bit of a kicking during each round if you don't improve your singing ability over time. The audience is on your side however, reacting to your performance and giving you backup if necessary. And with 28 songs to choose from, by artists including Lady Gaga, Pixie Lott and U2, there's a whole range of vocal challenges ahead of you.

You can either enjoy The X-Factor on your own or with friends! Go head-to-head with friends and family in entertaining competitions that show off everyone's singing talent. Tackle the career mode or engage in duets and song battles for the ultimate experience, and unlock bonus tracks and unique clothing items on your way to the top!
