DJ Hero is Not Getting Me ‘Cited

This picture is the only good thing to come out of the idea of DJ Hero.I am not a die hard Daft Punk fan, but I have been listening to them since 2006, which I believe is longer than most since they recently started blowing up (anyone else remember them on Cartoon Network?). In turn, this means I’m a little bummed to hear that they’re going to be on the newest [Insert Instrument] Hero game.

I’m going to brag a little more and say that I got the first Guitar Hero game for PS2 for Christmas in 2005 before it was at every college party in the US. So it wasn’t until this year that I lost my respect for the Guitar Hero franchise, because at one point at the anonymous game store I work at we had 3 window posters up: Band Hero, Guitar Hero 5, and DJ Hero. Three games to all come out in the same year, right around the same time. Oh, and don’t forget Guitar Hero Smash Hits in June and Guitar Hero Metallica in March.

I’ve heard the “oh, everybody sells out if they get the chance” spiel already, and no that isn’t always true, so I was hoping it wouldn’t be true for Guitar Hero and/or Daft Punk. Bottom line, I guess I’m just emotional because I hate to see my beloved Daft Punk and Guitar Hero sell out with each other, in another crappy, forced expansion.

Daft Punk in DJ Hero is Gettin’ me all ‘Cited

Daft PunkBecause Nicole and I are going to podcast tomorrow and I don’t have anything terribly interesting to say, I thought I’d let you all know that Daft Punk will be in the forthcoming DJ Hero.  Initially I wasn’t overly excited for this game, but their presence has certainly piqued my interest and the thought of mastering another rhythm game has more than enticed me.  You can read more about it over at Destructoid, but how many of you are looking forward to this?

Edit: Also, while it may not be everyone’s cup of tea this always makes me smile-
