The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A breezy, social party game where friends gather around the mic to belt out boyband and girlband hits and laugh over who can actually hold a note.

About

SingStar Boybands vs Girlbands is a karaoke game, featuring hit songs by boybands and girlbands. The theme of the game was chosen by the public after a poll on the official website, the UK myspace and Facebook. The game gives points which are distributed by the purity of singing, as in how well does one manage to stay on tune. It doesn't matter if you change octaves in the middle of the song or what words are you singing in (it doesn't have a word recognition), so your singing is rated by how well you manage to hit the correct note at the correct time.
