XS Games releases “Popstar” for Wii

XS Games has just released a Wii game called "Popstar." It’s sort of like "Guitar Hero" but instead of a guitar with four colored buttons on it you get a Wiimote condom with four colored buttons on it. The game has you performing various pop songs by pushing the buttons in tandem with nunchuck attachment. Before you open your window and scream "We’ve seen this before fifty thousand times", word on the street is that it’s actually fun.

MTV’s Patrick Klepek went hands on with the device and did say the functionality was a bit uncomfortable though. Still, the game has an estimated retail price of $59.99. That’s a heck of a lot less than the $200 you’ll be forking down for "Guitar Hero: World Tour."
