Activision: DJ HERO Renegade Edition

As a spinoff to to the popular Guitar Hero series, Activision brings us DJ Hero.  This game reminds me of the Beatmania series by Konami from 10 years ago. I recommend the Renegade Edition which includes the game, turntable controller, 2CD Mix by Eminem & Jay Z and a case that converts to a stand.  The game features 94 remixes of two different songs from a selection of over 100 different songs across numerous genres.  Jay-Z and Eminem both served as consultants for the game development.  Many DJ and mix artists also contributed to the game and in lending their images for playable avatars in the game; including DJ Shadow, Z-Trip, DJ AM, Cut Chemist, J.Period, Grandmaster Flash, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Daft Punk, and Eminem.

Tony Hawk: Ride

While out shopping at Best Buy on Black Friday, I see a stack of skateboards I assumed. However I notice there are no wheels.  It’s the “Birdman’s” latest video game that actually lets you simulate riding a skateboard. It’s equipped with infrared sensors to detect motion that will reflect as you play the game.

Available for Wii, PS3, & Xbox 360.
