Activision is working on a game called DJ Hero (Remember, like Guitar Hero for the house music). Here is the first shot of the game of the new hub controller.It is noteworthy that all controls appear to be on the panel, which means that, like Guitar Hero can not be taught, guitar, DJ Hero does not teach you to mix (unless we missed that red, blue and green button on standard vinyl for all these years). Good to know that the music keep these pesky players in their place. Look for DJ Hero this fall.
