Following the overwhelming success of Guitar Hero, publishers Activision have entrusted FreeStyleGames with the development of the DJ version of their previous musical video game success – ‘DJ Hero’. The game is due out October 27th in the US and will feature a turntable controller, which includes a rotatable turntable and three “stream” buttons, a cross-fader, effects dial, and a ‘Euphoria’ button. Hmm… I guess most budding DJs would love a button like that on their real mixer. For a little trivia moment, Kid Cudi’s video for ‘Make Her Say’ includes a cameo appearance of this controller. The game will include tracks from many different genres – including pop, grunge, soul, R&B, techno, hip hop, and house. A few featured artistes are Gwen Stefani, Kid Cudi, Nirvana, Beastie Boys and Benny Benassi. World famous DJ and producer Paul Oakenfold has already endorsed the game, saying he’s tried it out and loved it.

The latest installment of this music series will be available for Xbox, PS3 and PS2. Looking good…
