DJ Hero announced at last, along with Band Hero for the family and Guitar Hero 5 for the face melters


Activision just confirmed a whole lot of heroes: the long-teased DJ Hero being the most notable among them. Many trivial humans had conjectured what a "Hero"-style DJ controller would look like, and at last we have our first look (above, and theres another shot after the break). Sure, we have no idea how were supposed to play it -- wheres the whammy bar, for instance? -- but were sure once we tape a couple of our moms Perry Como records to the sides well start to get the picture. Music genres include "hip-hop, R&B, Motown, electronica and dance," and the game will allow turntablists to create "original mixes" of songs. Additionally, Activision is also prepping a family-friendly Band Hero game, and a Guitar Hero 5 followup to its flagship title, with all three new Hero games hitting sometime this fall.
