Here’s a preview of the upcoming DJ Hero video game scheduled for release in October. From the video it’s hard to tell if this game will be any good. I know lots of people swear by Guitar Hero and seeing as how it’s made by the same company, I expect fans will be pleased.

I’m for anything that’s going to teach the kids that DJ’ing actually requires DJ equipment & some skill, rather than just a computer and the ability to make playlists.

I’ll probably be copping it for the PS3, although October is generally close to the release of the NBA 2K series, so I may not have time in my life for much else after that drops.

Activision’s CEO Bobby Kotick has confirmed that the long-rumored DJ Hero game is in production.

Like the best-selling Guitar Hero franchise, DJ Hero will ship with a specially made peripheral allowing users to play along to recorded music.

“We have this product called DJ Hero coming out later this year which is a turntable that you can actually play competitively, spin discs and mix on,” revealed Kotick speaking to CNBC.
