Not a lot we can say about this, really. There are three Bayonetta TV spots after the break featuring the words “non-stop climax action,” a very attractive woman licking her lips, and what looks to be a show-stopping action game.

It’s out in Japan next week. Everywhere else early next year. Thanks, Kotaku.

Full thing follows.

Microsoft’s Lips gets a content update today with the addition of Coldplay’s “The Scientist,” and from the band’s X&Y album comes “Speed of Sound”.

“The Great Escape” has also been included from the album Boys Like Girls.

The first two will run you 180 MS Points ($2.25) each, while the Boys Like Girls track will cost 160 Ms Points ($2.00).

According to this post on the official Lips site, a title update’s on the way for the karaoke game that promises to stop players being able to rack up points by blowing on the mic. Or rubbing it on the carpet.

“We’ve added algorithms to help detect white noise and reduce its impact on scoring, so simply blowing into the mic won’t rack up the points anymore,” said a Microsoft rep.

“We’ve also made rap-marker detection more precise than before; no more mumbling your way through Bust A Move or Lip Gloss — now you’ve got to enunciate and elucidate.

“Finally, adjustments to pitch-detection, vibrato detection, and scoop detection have balanced out gameplay that some people have complained is too ‘easy’ or random.”

There’s more stuff on the way as well, such as a ticker for news updates and “a mic calibration tool”.

No date, though. See all through the link.

There are no plans for a patch to allow the use of wireless Lips microphones in Guitar Hero World Tour, Activision confirmed to VG247 today.

It was announced last year that Rock Band would be patched to support the peripherals.

Guitar Hero World Tour comes with a wired microphone that doesn’t even have jazzy flashing lights at the base.

So we all lose.

Lips users: here’s a new bit of downloadable music for your karaoke game.

Each tack will run you 160 MS Points ($2) and should be up on XBL as we type:

• Avril Lavigne – My Happy Ending
• Olivia Newton John – Magic
• The Pussycat Dolls/ Snoop Dogg – Buttons

How many people who own this game are actually old enough to remember that Olivia’s offering was from the film Xanadu?

Better yet, how many parents want their kids singing that Pussycat Dolls song?

Not a good line up this week, Microsoft.

Lips, Microsoft’s answer to Sony’s SingStar, gets an update today in the form of Alicia Keys, Coldplay, and Sarah McLachlan.

Here’s the list:

• Alicia Keys – Fallin’
• Coldplay – In My Pace
• Sarah McLachlan – Building a Mystery

Alicia and and Coldplay will run you 180 MS Points each ($2.25), and Ms. McLachlan 160 Points ($2).

With such fare to be downloaded, it might be wise to invest in a pair of earplugs.

Microsoft has laid out its complete January song schedule for its casual karaoke title, Lips.

There will be nine tracks released in total – three per week – and next week you can download “Hate That I Love You” by songstress Rihanna and “Take A Bow” the following Friday for 180 MS Points.

Here are all the tracks listed by week (priced at 160 MS Points unless stated):

January 16

• “When I Grow Up” — The Pussycat Dolls
• “You’ve Lost That Loving Feelin’” — The Righteous Brothers (180 pts)

TombRadar’s posted some shots of the Sugababes singing in Lips and NXE in London last night, and it all looked very sparkly.

Apparently the trio sang Duffy’s Mercy at the event. You had to be there, clearly.

Take a look.
