Beatles Rock Band Game Announced
The Fabulous Four are issuing their own version of the hugely popular video game.
The Beatles have announced that they are to release their own edition of Rock Band. The Fab FOur's company Apple Corps have allowed games producers MTV and Harmonix to use classic tracks from the band's entire back catalogue in a game due out sometime next year. “This game will take you on a journey from the Beatles' first album 'Please Please Me' until the last album, 'Abbey Road',” said Apple boss Jeff Jones.
"The project is a fun idea which broadens the appeal of The Beatles and their music," said Sir Paul McCartney, who was no doubt hoisting that famous thumb aloft at the time. "I like people having the opportunity to get to know the music from the inside out."
Top celebrity malcontent Ringo Starr added, "How wonderful that The Beatles' legacy will find its natural progression into the 21st century through the computerised world we live in. Let the games commence."
