It has become harder and harder for rhythm-based games to be innovative and stand-out in the market-place in the last few years, but "DJ Hero 2" succeeds simply because it embraces the fundamentals of rhythm. With 83 unique mash-ups, this game boasts an extensive, first-rate roster of mixes.

All of the mixes and tracks by artists like RZA, DJ Qbert and DJ Shadow may have already convinced you to pre-order "DJ Hero 2," but if they haven't, Activision and the retailers selling its game want you to know they have incentives.

DJ Qbert was reportedly at the top of the "DJ Hero 2" recruitment roster when the game first started coming together last year. Now, he's been confirmed to appear along with Deadmau5, David Guetta and other rumored talents that could include DJ Shadow and RZA.

"It's been a dream of mine as a gamer to battle myself on the turntables and now millions of fans around the world and their friends will get their chance to also."

The living hip-hop legend didn't cite a title, but informed bets can anticipate seeing him in "DJ Hero 2," where DJ Shadow, David Guetta and DJ Qbert may already be waiting.
"Just finished mocap work at Activision," he wrote on his Twitter account, "great team of guys who really appreciate hip-hop."
