DJ Hero Controller will only be used for…DJ Hero
For those hoping to shell out on DJ Hero and expected it to be used in a variety of games, first of all, it’s a cut down mixing desk, if you feel like controlling ODST through it, your a better person than me. Secondly, it has been confirmed that it can only be used with the DJ Hero game, and nothing else.
Speaking to Destructoid, Jamie Jackson, creative developer for DJ Hero said that:
“DJ Hero is DJ Hero. If someone needed to use our controller, then they would basically have to rip our game off,”
So, pretty blunt quote from Jackson there, but there isn’t really any announced competitor or rival to DJ Hero, unlike Rock Band and Guitar Hero, who share instruments for the good of all mankind…Obviously. The only other option I can see is that future Guitar Hero’s may have a DJ Hero option, but it is unlikely for anything to be announced for the next few months.
DJ Hero is about £100 at most stores, with a RRP of £109.99, so it is up to you to work out if it’s a good deal or not. If you are in to more of the Hip-hop, R&B, rap etc kind of music, then looks like DJ Hero will fill that need.
I admit, I’m kind of excited about Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. I’ve shied away from reading any reviews, as I’m hoping to review it myself when it finally comes out on the 16th October, but until that time, there has been mutterings and rumours that we may be going to get a chance to play the mulitplayer section of the game as part of a demo.
Well, funny that, because I just got word that there is going to be a Multiplayer demo, featuring a whole host of features. Oh, you want to know what they are? Well, it’s going to be around 1.3 Gigabytes of convenient game, and in that your going to get four multiplayer maps, four competitve modes and two co-operative modes. As well as getting access to the Cinema, Machima and Stage modes, which allow you to create your own Uncharted 2 movies, which fits in quite well with the style of the game.
However, we’re in Europe, so the big question is, will we get it. And Sony’s answer is, possibly, no gurantees of this Thursday, but maybe next week, as is usually the case with content making the Atlantic jump. In the mean time, if your interested in Uncharted 2, why not work on the Game Page.
UPDATE: According to sources, the demo is live on EU as well as US servers as well.

Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway – Review
[video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFhDW3BYyXk 425x344]
Story
The story of Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway revolves around Sergeant Baker and his squad as an infantry division. They play out the story of operation market garden, a WWII strategy designed to win the war before Christmas. It aimed to create a path straight through Holland and punch through enemy lines to Berlin. Unfortunately it was a disaster and failed miserably, so on this rare occasion you play as the allied forces in WWII on the losing side for once. It
Playstation Motion Controller, a better demo
Swing for it
We didn’t really get that much of an indepth look at the new PS Motion controller at E3, but now we’ve got a great preview video straight from Sony. Take a look and the fact there is a domino snake that breathes fire sells it to me fairly easily.
