A karaoke app simply named Karaoke is headed to Xbox Live “in time for the holidays,” according to the Karaoke Channel.

Karaoke will allows users to stream from a library of more than 8,000 songs, all of which will have karaoke-style subtitles enabled. Where it differs from existing singing games like Lips or even Rock Band is that users aren’t required to purchase additional tracks; instead, users spend Microsoft Points to rent the service for 2-hour, 6-hour or 24-hour periods. All tracks can be accessed during this time frame, and the Karaoke Channel says it will add tracks to Karaoke’s library over time.

The app will also make use of the Xbox 360’s new SmartGlass functionality, allowing users to browse and queue songs from a mobile device. Among other staple karaoke features, Karaoke features the option to change any given song’s key to better suit a singer’s range. Xbox Live avatar integration has also been confirmed by the first batch of official screen shots.

After multiple setbacks, Tony Hawk fans will be able to finally get their mitts on the Revert Pack downloadable content. Launching December 4 for 400 MSP, the pack includes three levels from Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3: Airport, LA and Canada. When playing each of these levels players will be able to perform a revert to keep their combos going a bit longer. Also included are professional skaters Steve Caballero and Geoff Rawley, plus newly announced Metallica band members James Hetfield (seen above) and Robert Trujillo  (after the jump).

Now that the Revert Pack has an official date, we can’t help but look back to our recent poll about what levels should be included in future DLC. College and Kona were clear winners from Pro Skater 4, so as long as we’re on that note we’re hoping Jango Fett will be included, too. What levels and skaters (be the professional or guest) are you still waiting for?
