Product Name | Date | Details |
DJ Hero 2 | 2010 | PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. Even better than DJ Hero in every respect. Received review scores in the 90%s. While employed at Acclaim, Cheltenham. |
DJ Hero | 2009 | PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. A music game involving repeating the shown notes using the DJ deck peripheral. Similar in concept to the Guitar Hero games, but a different way to play. Used a record deck controller. Received review scores in the 90%s. |
XG3: Extreme G Racing | 2002 | Nintendo Game Cube and PlayStation 2. Motorbike racing game involving tracks that had loops, corkscrews, and jumps. It looked pretty and played decently, but was maybe a little short on content. While employed at Acclaim, Cheltenham. |
