I picked up the freshly-released DJ Hero 2 on Tuesday. So far, it's a fun ride, but the overall familiarity of the game, due to all the DJ Hero 1 I played, keeps it from being quite as exciting as I had hoped, even with the new freestyle sections. Maybe I need to get stuck into some online matches or give it more of a chance. I have yet to hear all of the awesome new mixes after all.

Incidentally, I unlocked my 500th Playstation trophy last night while playing DJ Hero 2. Yay for milestones! I've come to like trophies generally, and I have had a lot of fun getting some of the more challenging ones. However, the excitement of the 500-trophy milestone is diminished a bit in knowing that some of the trophies I've unlocked have been for watching credits (DJ Hero 1 and 2) or dying (God of War 1) or other equally dubious achievements.

Now that I say this, I ask myself, am I going to bother unlocking the DJ Hero 2 trophy that requires me to fade all freestyle crossfades in a single mix to the left?

…

Probably.
