Like I said a few weeks ago, DJ Hero probably will have a nice hefty price tag. I was correct. The $120.00 video game is slated to release October 27th of this year. I probably would pass on this, not because of the price tag, but because of the shape of the turntable control. I’m not super impressed, but I’m sure this will be a great release for gamers everywhere.
The controller you see above is the official skateboard controller for Tony Hawk’s Ride that is slated to release in October. It seems to be promising, but do you really have to be able to make the board spin to perform a kickflip?
I guess this will be the competitor for DJ Hero. From what it looks like, Scratch: The Ultimate DJ has the better looking hardware. I think its funny how both companies are coming out with a DJ game about the same time. Competitive marketing and producting at its finest!
When I first glanced at this picture I said, “look at that black beauty.” Sure it is kind of a nerdy thing for me to say, but I can not deny that the Wii in black is impressively better looking than the white! The black Wii will be available for 25,000 Yen on August 1st in Japan, however no dates have been announced for a US release. All I know is that I am glad that I got rid of my white Wii and I hope to get this one, just so that it would match with my black furniture that I’ll be getting when I move!
Finally a close up shot of the upcoming Activision DJ Hero videogame! I’m really contemplating if I should invest in purchasing the game when available, but the DJ in me tells me this has my name written all over it! I can finally play something against my Guitar Hero pro friends and school them in what I can do.
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.
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.
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.
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!
This modder decided to turn his Xbox 360 into a wireless Xbox360 Joystick. He also added color buttons with a bubble top as well as LEDs when he touches the buttons. Now I don’t think this is a good look for Xbox. I mean people taking their Xboxes and turning them into joysticks. Usually people do that when they have junk in the house, they often try to recycle and use it for something else. So far I haven’t seen a Nintendo Wii turned into a Joystick, nor a PS3. Will anyone take the challenge?
