How embarrassing?Strutting around with a miniature guitar can feel a little foolish but you’ll soon get swept up trying to tame the fret board Overall score PlayStation2 as before Guitar Hero, £49.99 with guitar controller. Strike chords on the guitar-shaped controller while strumming a rhythm to songs including “Ace of Spades” and “I Love Rock and Roll”. As you get better you’ll play bigger venues and get tougher songs to tackle.Party factorA tricky one to master – this requires dedication and hand/eye co-ordination, so it should see out a lot of late nights. Leave the rock-star excesses until after you’ve completed a sell-out gig at Madison Square Garden. How embarrassing?If you’re doing it right then it’s very embarrassing – arms will be waving, sweat will pour and oaths will flow freely.

The most squirm-inducing element was my appalling control of a virtual tennis racquet. Overall score Wii goes on sale on 8 December for £179 and comes with Wii Sports. GUITAR HEROWhat’s going on?For anyone who can’t quite face SingStar, Guitar Hero offers a less humiliating musical experience. Good for players of all ages, but after a few drinks there’s no doubt that this little box will transform any party of badly behaved grown-ups. WII SPORTSWhat’s going on?At the forefront of the “wave your arms in the air” games revolution is Nintendo’s new console, the Wii.

Playing Wii Sports, you must master golf, tennis, boxing and bowling by using a wireless, movement-sensitive box that looks like a remote control.Party factorAlthough it’s fun having a go solo, the Wii is designed for four people – which is fun but hazardous (look out for low-flying fists and imaginary golf clubs). Still, it’s all good for the bingo wings, and though you pay for the webcam, the game itself is free to download, and there’ll be plenty more on their way. How embarrassing?It’s fair to say that no one looks cool while playing this game – windmill arms are never chic – and you’re sure to get hot and sweaty Overall score Xbox 360, £279 Live Vision camera, £34.99. This is Totem Ball, the first Xbox 360 game to get you up off the sofa. The new Live Vision web camera watches your every move – the harder you flap your arms, the faster the ball rolls.Party factorIt’s currently a single-player game but it’s not the sort of thing to be played alone – especially since arm fatigue sets in pretty quickly. This may not be the game to play while breaking the ice with new friends Overall score PlayStation2, £99. SingStar games, £39.99 with two microphones or £19.99 without.

TOTEM BALLWhat’s going on?Roll an imaginary ball through a fantasy landscape and over a variety of obstacles – lakes, rivers, cliffs and hills. Has some of the best sing-along tracks ever.Party factorNo social gathering should be allowed to take place without a copy of this game. Scores for pitch, tone and how long you can hold a note, fuelling competition. Popworld, Eighties, Rocks, Anthems and Party versions are all available now, plus a Legends edition is out at the start of December How embarrassing?Extremely. SINGSTAR

What’s going on?
Imagine a pitch-perfect rendition of Alice Cooper’s rock classic “Poison”, then replace it with the “three glasses of soave” cover version. This is home karaoke at its finest – words, videos and a rating to tell you by just how far you missed the high notes.

But how cash-rich, time-poor do you need to be to lose your sense of connection to the stuff that surrounds you? This trend towards living in a house with no personal history is obviously a rich seam for developers and a no-brainer for their buyers, but in the meantime the rest of us can go on trawling the shops for that chance meeting with the next piece of our domestic jigsaws. Maybe we’re just too emotional.199 The Knightsbridge, London SW7, £1.1m, Knight Frank (020-7591 8600, www.knightfrank.co.uk);23 Hereford House, London W1, £3.75m, Hobart Slater (020-7581 8277, www.hobartslater.co.uk)Paul Davies: 020-7529 0990, www.pauldavieslondon.co.ukTarget Living: 020-7823 2316, www.targetliving . Whereas, for DIYers, the years of torture are just beginning.”People are less emotional than you think about what they live in,” states Davies. Our speciality is creating one-off apartments with all the facilities of a hotel – gyms, mini bars, dry cleaning. When you buy a car or a piece of couture clothing, someone’s designed it for you and that’s what we do.”There’s more than a hint of the hip hotel about these homes – but could it be rather liberating to not have to argue with your stylist about the price of the taps or the colour of the curtains? Maybe getting exactly what you want, right now, is the logical next step in simplifying our hectic, 21st-century lives.It might feel peculiar the first time you go to find the bread knife in your new home, but by that point the one decision you need to make about your lifestyle will be in the past. “The main requirements are location and quality,” continues Davies. “We cater for people who don’t want to think about details or deal with the effort of employing a designer.
