DJ Hero

I really didn't plan on writing another blog on Guitar Hero. But I gotta for this one.

DJ Hero? Give me a break.

What's next. Accordian Hero?

OH WAIT. THAT EXISTS.

I honestly don't know how to feel. Like, I love music. And I love that music is being incorporated into video games in order to appeal to a larger audience. I love that these video games encourage people to pursue talent and/or appreciation in music.

My only problem is..when is it gonna stop? What's going to be the border between video games and reality?

Now, there's games that encourage the player to participate in a number of different roles: from a plumber to a hedgehog to an elf to Batman to a soldier for America to basically anything. But to me, it's different when the player is just pressing a few buttons to make the character move as opposed to picking up a virtual guitar and using that as the controller. Now there's a game where the player can scratch discs and mix music? Eh..

"The makers of Guitar Hero introduce an entirely fresh and innovative way to experience music. DJ Hero features an amazing variety of music across genres – tracks that you love and reflect who you are. Using an authentic turntable controller, you will spin and scratch more than 102 songs into unique mixes and become the life of the party. Get ready for a whole new phenomena in music. ... [In DJ Hero You Can Rule the Hottest Parties: Where Guitar Hero brought gamers into the world of rock ‘n’ roll, DJ Hero brings you into the hottest scenes around. Party in venues reminiscent of real world locales from around the globe including an ultra plush and sexy Hollywood Hills style mansion to an open air beach club in Ibiza."

Not to say that I wouldn't want to play it. It looks really cool. I just wonder where the line's gonna be drawn, that's all. And I also wonder how popular this would be. Who knows, maybe it'll sell really well and they'll come out with a:
