DJ Hero is coming... Have you ever gone to a club and thought "I can do that" when you were watching the DJ rock the crowd? I could be a Hero, you might think. I just put this song on and mix it into that song? I could give myself some crazy hair-do, change my name to DJ DeeRanged and practice my Tiesto pose, start drinking tequila straight from the bottle and fly around the world playing Pacha, Beta, Space and Crobar night after night. I could do that, you think to yourself. The life of a DJ is a glamorous one no doubt and now Activision (the guys that brought us Guitar Hero) is giving us the chance to be a DJ Hero and show our friends that all that air-scratching (usually while saying "whiki whiki") actually means that we can DJ with the best of them. The game will feature remixes and original material from some the best names in the biz right now including Z-Trip, DJ AM, DJ Shadow, Jay Z and Eminem (teaming up for a limited edition version). You can DJ by yourself, go battle style and even pair up with a guitar (how's that for cross promotion!) to rock the throngs of virtual club heads on your TV screen.

From the DJ Hero website:
"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 100 songs into unique mixes and become the life of the party. Get ready for a whole new phenomena in music."

GetWize: The game is set to release on all four major gaming consoles on October 27th and pre-orders are already available for $119. MetroWize will be giving away DJ Hero to a lucky subscriber when it comes out. Click here to sign up to win!
