DJs: Cooler Than Rockstars.

Top DJ David Guetta [and the mastermind behind tons of amazing French house - Ed] has hinted he’s working on a follow-up to DJ Hero.

In an interview with Kelowna, Guetta said, “I think it’s amazing, this game [DJ Hero], and I’m going to work on the No. 2 version. It’s a really crazy game,” he said.

“After ten minutes, you get the rush that a DJ gets after ten 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.”

Despite DJ Hero selling like crap, we thought it was fabulous game, and alongside The Beatles: Rock Band, the best music game this year.

One request Freestyle – more electro, dance, house, pop and D&B. Less dodgy hip-hop. Not that we don’t like hip-hop. Just those tracks were kinda the most boring.

#31: Pinball Dreams/Fantasies (Minis) on Playstation Portable.

We said: “Pinball Dreams is exactly 3.2674% more awesome than the already excellent Pinball Fantasies.”

#32: Red Faction Guerrilla on Playstation 3.

We said: “Despite being set on a dull, lifeless planet – Red Faction Guerrilla succeeds by providing some of the most satisfying destruction physics we’ve ever encountered in a video game and making them an integral part of the experience.”

#33: Tekken 6 on Playstation 3.

We said: “Tekken fans will be delighted with Tekken 6. The fighting is as crisp as ever and the side attractions, while throwaway, will keep those with any semblance of interest in the Tekken universe entertained.”

#34: DJ Hero on Playstation 3.

We said: “DJ Hero inserts new-found vigour into the stagnating music genre, but its niche concept, high price-tag and challenging learning curve will, sadly, drive many away.”

#35: F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin on Playstation 3.

We said: “F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is a competent and atmospheric shooter marred only by framerate issues and its reliance on horror and video game cliché.”

DJ Hero Is Apparently Not Everyone's Cup Of Tea.

Analysts like to talk about sales a lot. Heck, it’s their job. A job that pays Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital Markets to tell Gamasutra that DJ Hero’s sales are “modest”. Given the UK figures, we wouldn’t be surprised to hear that. Top marks Colin — your profession continues to state the bloomin’ obvious.

Sebastian goes on to claim that consumers are “showing price sensitivity” towards games with price points higher than $100. Have a Smartie Colin.

Cowen Group analyst Doug Creutz reckons consumers are getting tired of rhythm games. It’s going to be interesting to see how Band Hero and Lego Rock Band fare over the coming weeks. Does anyone care about those games? We don’t. At least DJ Hero was different.

DJ Hero Only Just Managed To Scrape Into The UK Weekly Charts.

Confirmed: you need to have ZZ Top and other shitty rock acts in your game to be successful. Also, you kinda need to be reasonably priced. That’s right folks, the UK charts ain’t looking too pretty for DJ Hero which debuted at number 20. Despite Freestyle Games doing a pretty stellar job (review forthcoming) on the electro-hip-hop-dance-pop arm of Activision’s music “Hero” franchise, the game failed to woo the general public with a high barrier for entry and stagnating interest in the music genre full-stop.

In other news, Tekken 6 entered the charts at number 8, with Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 dropping behind FIFA 10 to fifth.

Full list after the jump.
