Black Eyed Peas game launched ahead of Christmas period

A video game featuring The Black Eyed Peas has been launched for the Xbox 360 Kinect and Nintendo Wii.
The title was produced using the group's music and motion-captured dance moves from their live gigs.
The Black Eyed Peas Experience is a follow-up to last year's The Michael Jackson Experience game, which sold more than three million copies.
The group say they gave developers their input and their choreographer helped with the dance routines.
The costumes in the game are based on gear worn on stage in the past.
Fergie says she was a big video gamer when she was young and is amazed that she is now appearing in a game as herself.
"I love it," she said. "It's such a dream come true to have your own avatar in a video game, let alone have it wear your costumes and look like you and do your moves.
"It's really crazy. Just remembering playing video games as a little girl; Commodore 64, ZORK, Zelda, Super Mario Bros, Atari, Pac-Man, Frogger, all of that.
"To think that kids are actually going to see us as these video game characters is cool. It's trippy at the same time.
"My legs are a little longer, I would say. They gave me a few inches, so that's nice. Hey, it's fantasy."
The group, which is set to take a break after a concert this week in Miami, say they consider the game a bit of a trip down memory lane.
"A lot of our costumes are from The END and The Beginning tours, which was overseen by B. Akerlund," added Fergie.
"A lot of the other ones are from Monkey Business and Elephunk.
"The costumes are really reminiscent of that time period and of those albums.
"So it kind of takes you back a little bit from when I joined the band, when I joined the Peas, to now, to that evolution. It's nostalgic for us. It's like a photo album."
