Will the Real Best DJ Game Please Stand Up?

On the weekends, I deejay at all manner of events. From cherished weddings, to thumping club gigs, to secret house parties there is a chance that you’ll probably find me spinning my Pioneers somewhere in the Detroit area at any given Friday or Saturday. So when DJ Hero was announced, I was extremely happy. FINALLY a deejay game in the vein of Guitar Hero that will keep me buying plastic junk for my living room.

Then, Scratch: The Ultimate DJ was announced.

Then, Armin Van Buuren – In The Mix was announced.

Suddenly, I’m worn out of the deejay rhythm-game genre before it even saw the fluorescent WalMart light.

I decided to take it upon myself to scope out the three bigger releases in the DJ genre and see which (if any) seems like it might be worth my purchase. In this article, I’ve compared all 3 games (with images & video) to hopefully help you do the same. No, I have not provided glow sticks.
