In what Activision is calling a first, DJ/producer Tiesto and DJ Hero 2 have joined forces to create the first music video comprised 100% of video game footage. Tiesto’s likeness, which appears in the newly released game, is the focal point of the “Speed Rail” video.
“I’m having a lot of fun playing myself in DJ Hero 2!” says Tiësto “I originally wrote ‘Speed Rail’ for the video game and then started playing the track at my shows. The music video idea came together after I asked Activision to cut together some footage of my character in the game to play on the large video screens I use on tour. The fan reaction has been amazing, so I decided to go a step further and make it the official ‘Speed Rail’ music video. It looks really cool!”
Techno is not our thing but the video is edited very well. The concept is pretty cool, kind of reminiscent of a much lighter version of this.
DJ Hero 2 is in stores now for 360, PS3 and Wii.

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock
Activision
(Xbox 360/Playstation 3/Wii)
7 .0 out of 10.0
The sixth main installment in the highly popular series is arguably its most risky one, too. Warriors of Rock challenges pop-culture and the rhythm-game fans by giving us a whole slab of hard-rocking, metal-moshing, punk-sporting rock tracks that differ from what we’ve become accustomed to by the likes of Band Hero and the other recent Guitar Hero attempts. In a way, they’re giving hardcore fans what they want, but at the expense of alienating a majority of their consumers that make up their sales charts.
Graphically, they hold a major advantage over their main rival – Rock Band. Warriors of Rock boast heavily updated character models for all characters, not just the main rocker. Add in some awesome transformations that each character undergoes when you finish their set list with enough stars, and you have a great range of really cool looking characters.
Hit the jump for detailed review.

4.0 OUT OF 5.0
EA Sports
Nintendo Wii
You have to give EA props for adding depth to a game that was very one-note in its original iteration. So much so, that some (read: ME!!!) were looking forward to this game more than the delayed NBA Elite title. This bite-sized roundball phenomenon gets a next-gen update with NBA Jam, and EA Canada has designed a Wii experience that integrates Nintendo’s now-commonplace motion control system and embraces the best parts of the original game.

Ubisoft put a few trailers of some of their upcoming fall game for this Holiday shopping season.
Fighter’s Uncaged
Might be a little late to jump on the Fight Club band wagon. But if this games comes close to the awesomeness that was Def Jam: Fight for New York its a good start. The fact that it’s a Kinnect game definitely helps the fun factor.

There goes the neighborhood. The good people over at Harmonix have finally added some hip-hop flavor to the Rock Band franchise via none other than the Doggfather himself… Snoop Dogg. Eight of Snoop’s songs spanning his entire career will be available throughout September in the Rock Band music store.
Snoop who is a regular gamer seems pretty excited about his inclusion. “I consider myself an OG gamer, and to be chosen as the first hip hop artist to appear in Rock Band…well, it doesn’t get any better than that, ya dig?!?” Snoop said. “I know my fans gonna get down with tha Pound with this one and tha youngsters really gonna realize who started this gamer ish, u hear me?!?”

9.0 out of 10
I’m not the biggest summertime person. Granted as a kid it meant no school and long nights for hanging out but as an adult its more about the complexities of trying to dress appropriate when its 97 degrees out (rolled up sleeves are extremely overrated), beefing with people who attempt to BBQ on the sidewalk of the street you live on even though the park is 2 minutes away and battling mosquitoes like you’re in the Amazon Jungle.
