My friends at RockStar Games have been hard at work on a videogame that lets you fulfill your producer fantasies…its called Beaterator, and it drops September 29 for the PSP. In the above clip, Timbaland (aka Jay-Z’s least favorite person right now, lol) shows how you can build your own tracks.
Now in other upcoming game releases….along with the DJ Hero game that drop on Oct 27, 2009, there’s also the game Scratch: The Ultimate DJ (dropping in 2010, from my boy QD3) which comes with a much more realistic turntable controller designed by Numark. Judging from the demo video, Scratch is more of a true deejaying experience and much more technically challenging than DJ Hero.

more, after the jump…

I’m interested in playing Beaterator (I’m always looking for new PSP games to take on the plane), Scratch and DJ Hero….but after reading this fascinating article in the New York Times Magazine on all the elements that went into making the upcoming The Beatles: Rock Band edition (Sept 9), I’m definitely looking forward to playing that at parties. NYT also made this accompanying video…
