Activision, the company that has brought us the Guitar Hero series, is trying its hand on something with a little more beat behind it. The company announced today that it plans on releasing a trio of new games: Guitar Hero 5, Band Hero and DJ Hero.

DJ Hero will play very similarly to Guitar Hero except instead of a guitar, players will use a turntable controller (pictured above) to mix their own versions of popular songs taken from the rap, R&B and electronica genres. I think you all know how the rest goes.

Activision, making playing a fake instrument even cooler than it already is.
