It was only time before we see a game similar to Guitar Hero made for DJing.  Now, being a DJ, I’m not sure how I feel about this.  It could be a good thing or it could be a very bad thing.

According to the game’s creator Activision press release, “The company’s groundbreaking DJ Hero expands Guitar Hero’s signature social gaming to all-new consumers with the addition ofdiverse music genres including hip-hop, R&B, Motown, electronica and dance.  Introducing an all-new innovative turntable controller, DJ Hero transforms players into DJs who rule the club scene by creating original mixes of popular songs and music from the world’s most exciting artists and DJs.”

They are already have the site djhero.com where you can sign up to be notified when it launches.  I’m not sure how the controller(pictured above) will work.  It is rumored it might worked like Japanese arcade Beatmania shown below(via College News).

One good thing I could see is that game maker could approach labels like Stones Throw, Mad Decent, Kitsune, Rhymesayers to get their music in the game.  On the other hand, they may push remixes of Jonas Brothers, and American Idol songs.
