It’s nearing Christmas and the New Year so what better game should you be parting your cash for than with a karaoke title?
Well, we guess there are a good few but if you are needing something to keep the family busy for a few hours over the holiday period, then throw a mic their way and fire up NOW That’s What I Call Sing on Xbox One.
