DJ Hero The Next Big Thing?

With DJ Hero set to release very soon, I can’t help but notice all the buzz about this upcoming release. Could this really be the next big hit? In my opinion, of course!

When Guitar Hero came out a while ago, it was a for sure smash in the gaming world. It was almost life like. I mean, if you didn’t have any guitar skills, it didn’t matter because of the ease of the game. I’ve played Guitar Hero here and there, but never really got into it because I never really liked rock or punk music that much. I’ve always been more of a Blues, R&B, and Hip Hop kind of guy.

I’m sure there are many others that felt the way I did. We were simply waiting for a game that would play the music we liked, the music that we enjoyed. So I believe DJ Hero does just that for Hip Hop fans, unless DJ Hero plays nothing but music you get a raves From the reviews that the game has ties to Jay-Z and Eminem, I think nothing less than some good Hip Hop beat machine, turntabling fun. This will be a hit for Hip Hop heads, DJs, Turntablists, and even people who just love those damn video games!

I’ll even probably end up getting one a few months after it releases.

Space Invaders Soap

There’s not much I could say about this soap, but Space Invaders! This is one of those things that you really need to buy in bulk so that you can have an arsenal of them in your house.

Sony’s PSP Go Leaks Out

Ever since my PSP has been revived, I have been rekindling myself with it just about every night for a good hour of video gaming. I’ve been looking forward to Sony updating their PSP finally and by the looks of it, I’m thoroughly impressed. Supposedly the PSP Go will tout  16GB of memory, built in Blue Tooth, and an undisclosed memory slot. It is said to ship out this Fall and it is not slated to replace the PSP-3000. I seriously can’t wait!

DJ Hero, It’s About Damn Time

For those familiar with the Beat Mania arcade game at your local arcades, Activision finally put out a DJ game that allows us to play on our home console. DJ Hero will come with a bundle greatest hits from Jay Z and Eminem, limited edition controller, and a DJ stand. I love how the picture above also shows Japan powerhouse streetwear brand “A bathing ape.” Not too sure of pricing, but it cant be far from the Rock Band bundle pricing.

Style Yourself While Playing Rock Band

Just when you were hoping for a new guitar design for Rock Band or Guitar Hero, Mad Catz presents you with the Fender Rock Band bass that gets your blood rushing. According the Mad Catz CEO Darren Richardson, the Fender will ship later this month. I’ve never been a huge fan of Rock Band or the Guitar Hero genres, but I get down now and then with a bunch of friends over a few drinks. I would definitely be stylin with this while I rock out to some Blink 182. I’m curious to see the price of this guitar.

Tony Hawk’s Ride Is One Expensive Game

Skateboard legend Tony Hawk is set to release Tony Hawk Ride for Wii, Xbox360, and PS3 on October 13th. This skateboard video game comes with a board for you to pull ollies on. Since the gameplay will be sort of “lifelike,” the damage cost of the game is $119.99. I’m sure the gameplay is going to be great just like his other games, but damn…it’s still a recession. I guess some people just aren’t recession friendly!

Wal-Mart Lets Gamers Trade In Used Games

Wal-Mart is currently testing out a new system where games can trade in their used games to an automated kiosk and get trade-in value towards their credit card. Currently only 77 stores allow this game buy back program. I have no idea how useful this may be, nor do I support anything via Wal-Mart. I do think it is funny that they are starting all these programs now.

Resident Evil Now On iPhone

I swear anyone that owns an iPhone has to be lucky. Resident Evil: Degeneration is now available for the iPhone for only $6.99. After watching the RE movie this past week, I really wanted to play the game all over again. Not to mention, I really want to play this one…but I don’t have an iPhone! This also looks a lot more detailed compared to a lot of the other iPhone Apps and Games out there on the market as of late.

Functional Computer Mouse Made From NES Controller

Gears Of War Movie Wants “The Rock”

Chris Morgan, screenwriter of the upcoming Gears Of War movie, wants Dwayne Johnson aka “The Rock” to play the role as Marcus Fenix. Morgan’s reasoning behind choosing “The Rock” is because he can play the tough macho guy that has the nuanced, sensitive funny side as well. I would agree with this because I watch “The Game Plan” this past weekend and seriously thought Johnson was great in that movie.
