Hi there, Firstly, Sing Star is probably completely playable for the songs you know, and I'd be willing to bet there's some sort of practice mode where you could learn the songs. To answer your last question though, there are several PS2 games that can be played without assistance. I recommend you visit my web site: http://www.brandoncole.net and click on the gaming section. You can find demonstrations of games we can play, audio samples, and reviews. My only warning is that several spambots have taken it upon themselves to attack the script I use for my articles and reviews, so you'll have to ignore those. I appologize for them, and I'll delete them as soon as I see them, but sometimes somebody stumbles upon them. Kind of embarrassing, really, given the things they advertise. Anyway, enjoy the site, and I hope it helps you find what you're looking for. ----- Original Message ----- From: "nicol" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Audyssey Blind gaming Gamers discussion list" <Gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2007 2:02 AM Subject: [Audyssey] ps2 games
