The Beatles: The Video Game

Every important musician has had their own video game: Michael Jackson, Shaquille O'Neil, C+C Music Factory - everybody! So it's about time that the most important band of all time jumped on board.

With a blessing from Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, Apple Corps., MTV and Harmonix have all joined forces to create a Beatles based music game. It'll be ready for the holidays in 2009. A few details are known about the game

- It samples The Beatles entire catalog, from the first album to the last.
- It is absolutely not a Rock Band title.
- But it will be compatible with Rock Band peripherals.
- No specifics on it, but "visual imagery" is a big part of the title.
- Tracks are based on UK releases (nerd translation: the US releases of some Beatles albums omitted songs or remixed them to better fit the album, meaning these are the un-tampered versions).
- No set console...yet.

This could feasibly be a Rock Band sized game dedicated entirely to The Beatles. Wow. And you were excited about Rock Band: AC/DC.
