Two TurnTables & A Microphone
By Jamie Love - May 7th, 2009
What’s better than waking up to an image or two for a turntable peripheral? Some solid details about Activision’s DJ Hero might have been nice! For now, it’s a turntable with three coloured buttons on it. Yup, slow news morning so far - unless you enjoy lots of financial reports and predictions. Unless of course you wanted another Guitar Hero title so soon or the allure of Band Hero wins you over.
Band Hero? Seriously? Some third world country is going to be buried beneath the weight of broken plastic instruments in the future. From the press release:
- Letting fans continue to fulfill their rock fantasies, Guitar Hero 5 features the hottest rock and roll artists today as well as classic rock bands and gives players an unprecedented level of control over the way they play the game with the ability to drop in and out of songs and change band members, instruments and difficulty levels on the fly.
- The franchises’ first E10+ rated console game, Band Hero delivers an exciting music collection featuring top-40 hits designed to expand the experience to a new genre and appeal to a broad family audience who can play together on the guitar, drums, bass and microphone. The game builds upon Guitar Hero’s easy-to-play, difficult-to-master signature gameplay and allows novice players and expert fans to join together on their favourite songs.
Yes, more Top-40 is just what we need.

I’m trying to imagine why a real DJ would have to tap specific places on a turntable to play it. These games are getting ridiculous - just think of the retail space this stuff takes up.
