Scratch: The Ultimate DJ Tracks Announced

US, February 11, 2009 - Scratch: The Ultimate DJ, a music rhythm game from Genius Products and 7 Studios, will ship with tracks from top classic and modern hip-hop acts, including Kanye West, the Beastie Boys and Run DMC.

Scratch will feature "60 original and licensed tracks from the most popular hip-hop and R&B artists," according to a Genius Products press release.

Genius hasn't released the full list of licensed tracks just yet, but here's a sneak peek at the setlist:

* Flashing Lights- Kanye West
* Intergalactic- Beastie Boys
* Let's Get it Started- The Black Eyed Peas
* Slacker- Tech N9ne
* Don't Sweat the Technique- Eric B. and Rakim

Additional music from artists:

* Run DMC
* The Gorillaz
* Nelly
* Deltron 3030

Beastie Boys DJ Mix Master Mike is collaborating with the Scratch development team, and some tracks from his upcoming solo album will be featured in the game.

"I'm honored to be featured on the Scratch: The Ultimate DJ setlist, alongside some of the most talented artists in hip-hop," said Mix Master Mike. "It's exciting to work on a project that gives fans the opportunity to create their own music using the turntable and sampler."

Scratch will ship with a turntable peripheral designed by DJ equipment maker Numark.

There are a lot of cooks in the Scratch kitchen, including Genius (the distributor), 7 Studios (the developer), QD3 (Quincy Jones' production and licensing company), Genco Interactive (a entertainment investment company) and Numark.

Scratch is scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2009 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Ya i ordered that too, I just want the LP hehe. Thinking about ordering a second, think it may go for a bit on ebay in a couple of months as this apparently won't be available anywhere else including o/s

Check out this months hottest title:

* Written with the TV show’s producers and writers: A completely new and authentic Grey’s Anatomy story.
* Play as the stars: See Seattle Grace Hospital through the eyes of all the Grey’s Anatomy TV show characters.
* Influence the storyline: Influence character dialogue and make critical decisions that affect relationships and the outcome of the hospital crisis.
* Perform multi-step surgeries: Innovative gameplay takes advantage of the Wii Remote, DS stylus, and PC mouse.
* Accessible gameplay: User-friendly interface appeals to casual gamers.

I smell fail.

I picked up Halo Wars last week. Took it back for 7 day money back deal. It's not bad, but it's over very quickly with no reason to play it again. It could have been brilliant, but it... you know... isn't. I also bought the Megadrive Classics game, which seemed like a good idea but just reminded me how much these games sucked. (most have NOT aged well).

Still rocking SF4 though

Looking forward to Resident Evil 5 next week

FUCKING ROFL

How the hell did that game get made? I mean really, who the hell thought it was a good idea?

UNLESS of course in the game you play a dangerously psychotic mental patient who is admitted to the hosptial and to escape has to hunt and kill every single member of the cast. In which case I plan to buy several copies.

Yeah I think Halo wars would shit me too much trying to play with a controller. Tried the demo... meh.

Haha yeah I got the megadrive thing as well. I mainly bought it for that vinyl, played the game for about 5 mins then ditched it. Good news is I saw one of those vinyl go for like $70 on ebay.

Apparently Ubisoft passed on making a game out of the Heroes tv series. And they chose THIS instead????
