obviously the post illustration has nothing to do with the video
or lets say, they both cool
here is a new and wicked way to play Guitar Hero
pick up your bike!!!
Recent Activision acquisition FreeStyleGames is hard at work on DJ Hero, a music rhythm game that will let gamers scratch to the beat of popular mash-ups with a laptop turntable peripheral, informed sources tell us today.
The game, which has been in development for nearly two years, is expected to hit shelves next summer and will likely include the ability to use Guitar Hero guitars for versus mode face-offs.
The controller, key to the game’s success, has been through nearly a half-dozen iterations.
In the latest form, the device looks a lot like a simplified DJ Deck. There is a platter for scratching which will act like the strum toggle on a Guitar Hero guitar. Above the platter are three buttons for sampling. The controller also includes a cross fader and a sound effects dial which will act like the whammy bar in Guitar Hero.
Instead of flowing the musical notes down a guitar neck, DJ Hero will flow the music down and around a virtual record in a half arc. Either left top to middle bottom if you are left handed, or right top to middle bottom if you are right handed.
To play you will have to either hold a sample button and scratch, just hold a button or just scratch as the neon icons flow around the virtual vinyl.
Currently the wireless controller has grooves molded into the bottom so it will sit comfortably in a player’s lap, though the team is also looking into legs for the deck so gamers can play while standing up.
The game in its current form features all mash-ups, think Beyonce Vs Jimi Hendrix, 50 cent Vs Beastie Boys. If they can nail the interface and get licensing for the music this could be a mammoth hit.

I’ve seen this pix last night and I was thinking about to post it, but somehow I got insecure about the idea of posting this. But today I saw Yaikz!’s post at Attuworld, I guess we have common places ;) So I decided to post an ask your opinion as well. What do you think, is it good? Funny? Primitive: Mindless?
Dirty joke is the best joke??
Warner Music Group, the world’s third-largest music company, said on Thursday that video game makers will need to pay more to license songs for music-based video games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band .
Warner Music Chief Executive Edgar Bronfman drew comparisons between MTV’s launch 25 years ago or Apple Inc’s iPod launch five years ago, and today’s video game companies like Activision Blizzard Inc and Harmonix, a unit of Viacom Inc.
"The amount being paid to the music industry, even though their games are entirely dependent on the content we own and control, is far too small. " [via Billboard]
Do you think that the world ends at Guitar Hero? Think again. Here is Band Geek Hero. You can be hero in almost every instrument. Our fave is the Triangle Hero :D
We started the day with a Guitar Hero based new fake game concept, the Vagina Hero. What a stylish ending for today to leave you with the Guitar Hero Action Figure Set. We know you want them! They will look good in your desk or in the top of the TV!
Monday Kick.
A happy, positive craziness which helps to start an another week.
We all love Guitar Hero, right? This game started something new in the videogame culture and the music business as well. No wonders that there are new developments and experiments to create the ‘Guitar Hero effect’ with other themes. Some brilliant minds just invented the new successor, Vagina Hero. Yeah you’ve seen it right. Quite logical, sex interests more ppl than music and sells as we know it :D
