It seems dancing games are going to be plentiful for the remainder of the year — two more dancing titles will join the mix this fall, available in the U.K. on Oct. 20, courtesy of Oxygen Games.

Street Dance and Dance Fest will introduce new eight-way choreography to Playstation 2 gamers, bringing gamers a choice of a song list heavy in either R&B/hip-hop or pop music respectively.

Both games, according to preliminary screenshots, will feature Techno Motion-style game play with a total of eight arrow locations for players to keep tabs on. Arrows will scroll outward from the middle of the screen and requires players to step not only up, left, down and right, but also diagonally. Characters and environments will also be presented during routines with Street providing inner city backdrops and Fest taking place on a television pop/talent show.

Licensed artists announced so far for Street Dance include names such as Kelis, All Saints and The Pussycat Dolls while Dance Fest enlists the talent of The Sugababes, Steps and M People! Street is also scheduled to include a two-player "dance off"and a routine creation mode while Fest will include a fitness mode.

As of right now, there is no indication whether or not the game will be shipped to the U.S. Oxygen has a preliminary site hosted for the game on their official Web site.
