DJ Hero’s turntable controller twittered out this week, later confirmed by Activision and compared (by your humble editors) with the Scratch controller. We also turned Stephen Totilo loose on a terrorized games industry.
Stephen’s presence on staff should boost the headline count in this here roundup quite nicely. He accounted for 12 in the first week. Bottles and cans, clap your hands for the week in Kotaku original reporting:
