A chance to be a new kind of hero


So, it looks like the Guitar Hero has convinced Activision that the concept does have legs; and additional expansion into this space is good and, of course, the sales numbers don’t lie. We had been hearing rumblings about another kind of “hero” that the company had been working on and CEO Bobby Kotick confirmed while at the Davos World Economic Forum that the company has a new title called DJ Hero on tap for later this year.

According to what we have been able to uncover, DJ Hero will ship with a turntable accessory that will allow you to spin discs on and mix with. The game will be able to be played competitively and is expected to be released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 later this year.

The interest in peripheral-oriented titles has been driven in part by the success of such titles as Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and pretty much everything on the Nintendo Wii platform. While in the past titles that either featured or required the purchase of expensive gaming controllers or input devices that drove the cost of the title up were rejected by the buying public, it seems that today’s gamers are looking to embrace something different.
