Scratch: The Ultimate DJ

With the huge success of rhythm based games such as Guitar Hero and Rockband one could only assume that the most influential genre of music on the planet would surely follow with a game all their own.

I remember when I was younger, I used to go to the supermarket around the corner just to get a peek at the latest Gamepro cover. I remember filling out 12 month subscription cards and selecting the "bill me later" option on Nintendo Power even though I didn't have any money (haha).  Those times are gone now because of the Internet.
