But when we first got the news from Activision about their upcoming game - DJ Hero - we couldn’t believe it. Actually, we believed it but we didn’t know the finalized product release date was closer than we thought.

As a musician myself, I’m into many different genre. In fact, I’m not even into a certain genre; what sounds good SOUNDS GOOD. So when I start playing Rock Band, I was more than happy. But at the same time, I always wondered ‘What about hiphop and all other electro genre out there? Why can’t someone come up with a game for them?’. And bam! Activision and RedOctane was already on their feet, trying to safisty many music-loving gamers.

And downloadable contents already sounds good; Jay-Z and Eminem will feature their tracks ready for us to download and enjoy.
