Arcade Light Switch

I've kinda fallen behind on my arcade & gaming knowledge; but I am pretty sure as my kids get older that I will be right back in it, playing new games & hopefully introducing them to a few arcade/video game classics.

In the mean time, having these installed around the house, may make things fun...



Aleph design makes a custom light switch made from push buttons that go on Arcade Machines. Just install like a regular light switch. It is perfect for game rooms, kids rooms, or any room around the house.

You can even pick the switch colors.
Button colors: green, red, yellow, blue, white, black, purple, orange

DJ Hero 2

Coming this fall!!

Happy Birthday Pac-Man!!

Today Pac-Man celebrates it's 30th anniversary. Developed by Namco, Pac-Man was first released in Japan on May 22, 1980.



For the 30th anniversary of its release, Google changed its homepage logo to a fully playable version of the game being the first fully interactive Google logo. The long-lasting impact of the iconic game and the nostalgia associated with it was apparent, even after 30 years, when companies across the world were experiencing precipitous drops of productivity with the Google version and some banned the Google website from their workplace computers on the Friday it was uploaded.

If the world was invaded by classic video games; including my favorite game of all time, Arkanoid.

DJ Hero available today

First Guitar Hero, then rock band.. Now DJ Hero will be taking over living rooms this fall/winter as video gamers try their skills in beat-matching & turntablism.

As far as the reaction of most DJs to this game: Most big name respectable DJs have been asked to be a part of the development of this game, like Jazzy Jeff, DJ AM, DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, Daft Punk & more. Those hating on the game probably shouldn't be DJs anyways.



DJ Hero is now available.
Try & get your hands on the limited Eminem/Jay edition of DJ Hero, I ordered mine!!!

More News on DJ Hero

With DJ Shadow on board, you can guarantee this is on my wish list.

DJ Hero

Forget Guitar Hero... This will be how I will be spending my Lazy Sundays this fall.

From the creators of Guitar Hero, Activision, comes the next chapter of wanting to be a music superstar.

— The company's groundbreaking DJ Hero expands Guitar Hero's
signature social gaming to all-new consumers with the addition of
diverse music genres including hip-hop, R&B, Motown, electronica and
dance. Introducing an all-new innovative turntable controller, DJ Hero
transforms players into DJs who rule the club scene by creating original
mixes of popular songs and music from the world's most exciting
artists and DJs. (Activision press release)


Scheduled for Fall release along with Guitar Hero 5 & Band Hero

Activision has also filed for a trademark on Dance Hero. I assume it comes with a cardboard box & a fresh Kangol..

Anyone can be a Guitar Hero
