Eric Ruth Games' Pixel Force DJ Hero is no longer just an idle YouTube distraction, something to load up in the background so you can listen to chiptune Joan Jett/Queen mashups while you write Joystiq posts (or whatever it is you do while listening to chiptune mashups). You can now actually download and play the NES-style rhythm game "demake" for yourself!
Even better news: Ruth also released a new video, featuring an awesome chip mashup of the Ghostbusters theme and Huey Lewis & The News' "I Want a New Drug." So you have something to listen to a few dozen times if you have some more posts to write (or, again, whatever your job may be) before checking out the actual game.
Excited to try this out. Been looking at his website every week or so, waiting for this to come out. He said it would come out in August; wonder what happened there?
So there is talent in a mash up featuring the original song, and the cheapo ripoff "They wanted a Huey Lewis song for this movie but he refused so let's pay this shell haired bootlegger for the exact same song" and this is creative and fresh? Next thing you know, you'll be celebrating the 30K Ice Ice Baby/Under Pressure mashups...
That video seems to be charting the majority of both songs to the right-hand track, which kind of misses the point of DJ Hero... but other than that, cool
