At E3 (the Electronic Entertainment Expo for you non-nerds), Activision revealed its latest entry in the 'Hero' series of rhythm games. This time, instead of wailing plastic guitars or drums, players will now be able to man a turntable and crossfader to perform a variety of original mashups created by the likes of DJ Shadow, DJ AM, and DJ Z-Trip.
