DJ Hero to feature Daft Punk
Gosh, remember when the set lists of DJ Hero and Scratch: The Ultimate DJ were basically composed of rumours and speculation, and kept changing every few days as both sides scurried to score exclusivity points of the other? Good times, but now firmly in the past; with DJ Hero just about six weeks away, the final offering must be pretty close to lockdown.

Hurrah! That means we can finally find out what's on it. Apparently, for one, Daft Punk.

Of course, it's not as simple as those other music games; the tracks contributed by the masked Frenchman are all exclusive mixes. Eight of the mixes have been revealed, and while I'm not deeply entranced with the world of DJ-ing, I still found the list pretty amusing.

We Will Rock You will be epic.
  • “Around the World” vs. Young MC “Bust A Move”
  • “Da Funk” vs. NASA “Strange Enough ft. Karen O, ODB and Fatlip”
  • “Da Funk” vs. Queen “Another One Bites the Dust”
  • “Robot Rock” vs. Hashim “Al-Naafiysh (The Soul)”
  • “Robot Rock” vs. Queen “We Will Rock You”
  • “Short Circuit” vs. Boogie Down Productions “Jack Of Spades”
  • “Technologic” vs. Gary Numan “Cars”
  • “Television Rules The Nation” vs. No Doubt “Hella Good”
One further track is yet to be revealed, as well as two "mega mixes", which probaly means "really long versions of canonical Daft Punk tracks" rather than "exciting new gameplay feature", although a frantic boss battle against the masked musicians would be terrific.
