DJ Hero 2 Confirmed by DJ David Guetta

DJ Hero Logo

 

Oops, I’m pretty sure that this wasn’t supposed to happen! David Guetta the DJ most famous for working with Akon to make the UK No.1 hit “Sexy Chick” and who also produced some DLC for the first DJ Hero has said in a recent interview [about DJ Hero 1]

“I think it’s amazing, this game, and I’m going to work on the No. 2 version,” 

he also proclaimed how much he liked the first game and revealed that he’s not that great at it either.

“It’s a really crazy game. After 10 minutes, you get the rush that a DJ gets after 10 years of practising. I have fun with it, but you know what? I can’t go to the maximum level. It’s too difficult for me. It’s crazy.”

No other details have been revealed about the sequel to Activision’s music mash-up/rythm matching game but I’ll keep you posted on SFN when I  have more news.

VidZone Hands-On

Hands-On With Vidzone

We love music, we love games and most of all we love being connected.So when it was announced that they were releasing a new music video viewing feature for PS3 my heart literally jumped for joy! Here’s my thoughts on why you should get Vidzone.



1). The best bits



My favourite part of Vidzone is that it is just so simple. This little thing makes it stand out from its competitors in such a way that it leaves YouTube and MegaVideo crying in a corner. While many video streaming services are incredibly difficult to navigate around, Vidzone’s homepage provides links to already made up playlists, all of which feature many of the music videos that are really popular right now. For example one of the playlists there feature the new single from the Black Eyed Peas, Boom Boom Pow. Another thing that made me fall in love with the new service is that it has so much to offer and is bounding with potential. Whilst it doesn’t offer that many music videos at the moment, I am on good authority with an inside source that there ar elenty more to come!

2.) The bad bits


The great thing about Vidzone is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with. Well apart from the fact that there isn’t much content on offer but cut the thing some slack! After all it was only released a few days ago! (And I already like it better than YouTube.) Besides it beats getting Rickrolled. Right?
3.)Overall

VidZone is a superb addition to the PS3’s already astonishing aline up of downloads available fform its PlayStation Store and is definitely a “must-download”. Just a heads up though it’s only available in Europe. Keep reading System Fai,l Newas and I’ll keep you updated for when it makes the crossover to to the U.S.

5 Songs You Can Game To.

So you're killing zombies in Call Of Duty: World At War (COD:WAW) and you wanna play that killer soundtrack to go with your killing spree, Oh damn, you just realised that don't have any awesome CDs.What are you going to do!?! Don;t worry I've got your back with my list of 5 songs that can play games to.

1.Black Stone Cherry - Lonely Train

Heavy metal at it's best. This song, featured on WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008 a few years ago. However it's not just wrestling games that this is prefect for, oh no! In act this song's thundering guitar cords and its roaring lyrics are perfect for games like Killzone 2 and Resident Evil 5.

2. Noah and the Whale - 5 Year's Time

Little Big Planet's super cute character, Sackboy. along with the intricately built levels go amazingly well with this song. Admit it, even though you act like a tough guy (or gal) when you slay Helghan warriors on Killzone 2, Noah and the Whale's beautiful 5 year's time makes you think of cute, fun lovin' kittehs and adorable puppy dogs doesn't it?

3. 50 Cent - In Da Club

You Can find me in the club, bottle full of bub. WTF is bub?
Not really a song that goes with every one's personalities as you can usually find me, at home chattin's on the phone killing Helghast, on Burnout driving fast. Lame, I know. However this song and all its cheesy glory goes very well with "gang-oriented" video games such as Saint's Row 2 or 50 Cent: Blood In The Sand.

4. Check This - Imperial Vipers

Little known British band, Imperial Vipers have got a few song on the net at the moment including Check This, Love's Fortune and Into Forever. The band's infectious rhythm and their lead vocalist's charming English accent all make this song a perfect companion to driving games such as Burnout or Project Gotham Racing.

Check the Imperial Vipers out on JamLegend (online Guitar Hero)

5. Crush Crush Crush - Paramore

I'm not going to lie, I am a HUGE fan of Paramore. Well, I'm a huge fan of all of the bands featured in this post, though Paramore are one of my favourites. Anyway, what I was going to was; Paramore are a much-loved band and they have many fans too, with their song Decode featuring in the popular Twilight movie and they are also touring this Summer with he newly 'reformed' band No Doubt. This song of theirs, Crush, is great to listen to when you're controlling disgruntled teens in The Sims games and many of the band's other more melodramatic songs are perfect fro when you feel like "getting rid" of your Sims with a BBQ!
