I wouldn’t have thought it possible, but Game People‘s Rebecca Mayes proves it is not only possible to review a game in a song, but also to have that song be incredibly awesome. She plays a game, and instead of the typical review highlight the good and bad points, writes up a song about the game. She then posts the song to Game People, along with the lyrics. You can even download the track for free, if you enjoyed it.

Mayes’ most recent song review is “Hello Kitty,” a review of Hello Kitty: Big City Dreams for the DS. It’s the first review to actually have a few paragraphs discussing the mini-games before getting straight to the lyrics. And I can’t stop listening to it. Moving on, Mayes previously reviewed Hotel Dusk (“The Infuriating and Alluring Case of Mr. Kyle Hyde”), Okami (“I’m a Wolf”) and Wii Sports (“Press A”). The next review hasn’t been announced yet, but her index page reveals it will be a PopCap game.

She accepts donations, and since the songs are just amazingly fantastic, I think she deserves a few dollars. Besides, you get preferential treatment if you donate. Every patron who donates can suggest a game to inspire her next song, and will also have the opportunity to hear her latest song reviews before anyone else.
