Run, Don’t Walk, DJ Hero is on Store Shelves
By Joe Haygood | October 27, 2009
Hold on to your record collection folks, because Activision has released DJ Hero to retail today. DJ Hero allows players to feel like a mash-up technician as you play through 93 unique mixes created specifically for DJ Hero.
DJ Hero can be found in two different flavors – either the standard package that comes with the DJ Hero game and turntable controller, or the Renegade edition, which comes with the game, a special colored controller, a transport case, stand and a 2-disc soundtrack containing special tracks from Jay-Z and Eminem.
You can pick up the standard bundle for $120, while the Renegade edition will set you back 200 bones. DJ Hero is available for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii and Playstation 2.
Activision Reveals Track List for Renegade CD Set in DJ Hero Special Edition
By Joe Haygood | October 14, 2009
Activision sent out the track list for the Renegade 2-disc CD set that you will get if you preorder the DJ Hero Renegade edition of the game, and it is a solid looking track list. Also, it looks like an unreleased Eminem track, “Taking My Ball” will be on the collection, and will debut on SiriusXM radio station Shade45 on October 16th, 2009 at 6:00PM.
If you would like to see the full track list for the pack in CD collection, check the jump below.
Rocktober 13th Has Arrived: Brutal Legend is in Stores
By Joe Haygood | October 13, 2009
After a long and arduous journey, Brutal Legend has finally hit retail shelves. Starting at Sierra, getting acquired by Activision, getting dumped by Activision, snapped up by Electronic Arts, a lawsuit that almost killed the game, and now into the hands of gamers. I am sure that somewhere, Tim Shafer is saying, “Let’s not do that again”.
Brutal Legend stars Jack Black as lifetime roadie, Eddie Riggs. Upon his apparent death by way of set crushing, his blood unlockes a hidden world trapped in his belt buckle where everything is made from those metal ablum covers we remember from the 80’s. Full of combat, light RTS elements, a multiplayer component and a kick ass soundtrack, Brutal Legend should have legs to be a solid hit this holiday season.
Brutal Legend is coming to both the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Project Natal Gets Lots of Developer Support
By Joe Haygood | September 24, 2009
After having its coming out party at E3 2009, Project Natal will now have a compliment of developers working on software for its feature set. Microsoft touted a list of developers, including Konami, SquareEnix, Electronic Arts, Activision, MTV Games and more as having signed on to provide games for the Project Natal experience. The list of developers equals 70% of the third party developers that released games for the 360 (their numbers, not ours).
There was no word on whether these would be new franchises or existing ones, and if existing, would they only allow Project Natal control schemes. At least it is good to know that there will be something there when Project Natal does finallyhit retail shelves. Whether it will be good or not is a totally different story.
Activision Moves Blur to 2010
By Joe Haygood | September 21, 2009
Activision released, what appears to be a financial guidance letter regarding Blur to investors, announcing that the title will be moving to the 2010 release schedule. They did not give a specific timeframe for the release, only using the 2010 year for guidance.
Now, I am not an Activision insider, but I do know that word around the blogosphere is that Blur was less than enthusiastcally received by the press. Many complained about the look of the game, the racing feel and other major issues with the title, and when you already look at the three titles that should be out by the end of 2009, Need for Speed Shift, Forza 3 and Gran Turismo 5, this might be a wise decision. Maybe the extra development time will lead to an interesting game.
I can say from my own experiences from seeing a bit of the game at E3, that the delay can only help that title. Activision paid a lot to bring Bizarre Creations into the fold, and to get a poor first title from them would be a big hit. We will have more info on an exact release date when the info becomes available from Activision.
Limited Edition 250GB Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360 Announced
By Joe Haygood | September 15, 2009
It looks like the rumors were almost completely true about a 250GB Xbox 360. Yes, the unit is coming, but it is not a full blown production model. Major Nelson posted up a couple of pictures of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare Limited Edition Xbox 360. The unit, priced at $399.99, will include an Xbox 360 with a 250GB drive, a custom Call of Duty Modern Warfare design, two wireless controllers and a copy of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
Looking at the contents of the console, this is a really good deal. You are getting a $60 hotly desired game, a second $50 controller, and twice the hard drive space of the Xbox 360 Elite, considering the pricetag of a 120GB hard drive (since you would need a second hard drive to get the same comparable space).
Check the jump for a straight on picture of the console. Also, let us know if you might be picking one of these up.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 Hits Retail
By Joe Haygood | September 15, 2009
Activision sent out the word that Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 has hit store shelves.
The new sequel adds in new heroes, and a new play mechanic called fusion, where two heroes can mesh together their powers to create one hell of an attack on enemies.
And for those that were willing to give Gamestop a long term interest bearing loan, you will get the Juggernaut as a bonus. Of course, I will probably get the chance to buy him down the road for a healthy ransom.
Courtney Love Goes Crazy on Activision via Twitter
By Joe Haygood | September 10, 2009
Recently, it was announced by Activision that they were bringing the likeness of Kurt Cobain to the Guitar Hero 5 title, which creeped me out when I read it. I mean, do we really need to see Kurt Cobain belting out Public Enemy or Elton John hits. Well, Mrs. Kurt Cobain does not think so.
As of this morning, Courtney Love has been posting on her Twitter feed all morning, railing into Activision, swearing up and down that she did not approve his likeness for the game, and that Kurt Cobain would hate Guitar Hero. While I am not totally sure who controls the Kurt Cobain estate, I would assume that Courtney Love would have some say in his matters, considering she was his spouse at the time of his death. And yes, she is threatening Activision with a lawsuit. Check the jump for some of the jucier bits, which are very hard to grab out of her stream of consciousness.

Call of Duty: Modern Rip-Off 2 for PC
By Joe Haygood | August 26, 2009
By now, I am sure that most have heard the word that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be hitting the PC at a $60 price point, similar to its console breathern. Of course, the announcement of price started a big flame war on the web, with people siding up on the pro and con for this price point.
I spent a lot of time thinking over what my response to the price point would be, because it does directly affect me as I was looking to purchasing this title in November. The Call of Duty franchise is still very strong and healthy on the PC side of the fence, and the multiplayer is probably better than the consoles once you try it. Add in the inevitable mods and community fixes and you end up with a truly awesome online FPS experience.
DJ Hero Adds Perverts and Jedi Masters
By Joe Haygood | August 12, 2009
Activision has announced several newmash-ups from some well know mixologists for their upcoming fall release, DJ Hero. First up is the inagural 1999 DMC World Team Championship winners, Scratch Perverts adding five mix tracks, including - Eric B. & Rakim – “Eric B. Is President” vs. M.I.A. – “Paper Planes” and Noisia – “Groundhog” (Beat Juggle) just to name a couple of them.
The other DJ that was added is no stranger to a lightsaber and a turntable, and that would be famed UK artist, DJ Yoda. DJ Yoda has contributed the following two mixes, The Jackson 5 – “I Want You Back” vs. Gang Starr – “Just to Get a Rep” and Little Richard – “Tutti Frutti” vs. Shlomo – “Beats”.
DJ Hero is shaping up with a solid release list of 93 mixes at launch, with more coming after via DLC. However, I think the $120 price tag is really going to be a hard swallow for consumers that are being frugal, and running out of room for plastic gaming accessories. Check the jump for the full 411.
