Another Taste of the Mash

He wants to know what your soul looks like
Hello there, gentle viewers. I’m going to dispense with the whole ‘introduction’ thing right now and get down to a bare ass DJ Hero update.
Follow the link here to the ‘cinematic intro’ to the game, featuring the unmistakably soulless eyes of DJ Shadow
Matt has mentioned before how excited I am for this game to be coming out, despite the obvious disappointment from the recent Guitar Hero offerings. It’s a concept that appeals more to me than being a ‘Band Hero‘, complete with a new fangled controller design and well, that’s a new skillset right there.
It’s using Turntablism (check out the movie ‘Scratch‘ to get a good idea of this AH-MAZE-ING skill) to create the songs, as opposed to just break beating in the middle of rock tracks, something I was originally afraid was going to be the main drag of the game. From the tutorials, sneak peaks on the official Site and various previews from E3, it looks like my little hip-hop prayers were answered and it’s going to be some sticky fingered, cross fadin’ fun.
But DJ Shadow as a bad guy? I just don’t buy it. He’s too damn cute.
