"There was a split second at the start of Microsoft's keynote yesterday when I questioned not only the keynote but what the hell was so special about The Beatles: Rock Band?
But just five minutes later, even before Ringo and Paul trotted out (noticeably from the opposite side of the stage to Yoko Ono) I was sold. And it wasn't just myself, there seemed to be a general consensus amongst press and the guys at Infinity Ward who I happened to sit with."
"The rhythm action game is probably the best example of a genre which killed itself through market saturation. "
The Marb looks back on The Beatles: Rock Band and assess whether the rhythym action game did the legnedary band justice.
VGW's Brian Shea: "The notion of downloadable content is commonplace in today’s landscape of launch-day DLC and season passes, but prior to 2007, to have a legitimate, laid-out plan to support a console game post-launch was not a common occurrence. Harmonix, a company that was in the midst of a transition away from the most popular franchise in the industry at the time, Guitar Hero, had a vision for a brand new IP that would eventually revolutionize the concept of downloadable content."
We all do it – well those of us of legal drinking age; invite some friends around, have a few drinks and then break out the console to get our video game on. According to Craig Bryan; here is a list of the perfect alcoholic accompaniments for a night of fun and frolics.
Journey kinda makes you wanna smoke, methinks. Well, for those open-minded individuals who don't just condemn the act, like myself, I can see Journey turning a person's view introspective, and a certain drug allowing for some rather insightful revelations.
(For the record, I've smoked three cigarettes- I was drunk- and one cigar in all my life.)
playing games drunk is the worst thing ever, reactions are to slow and falling asleep and leaving your console on all night! wake up with 5000 messages, take away food all around you and feeling like poop looking at your online stats wondering how bad you played :( bad times
I'd mostly only bother with music and sports games , the rest not at all , besides indeed buzz
I never really got into the Rock Band / Guitar Hero games, but I can see the appeal of it.
Best sing along group ever...
I really didn't think the day would come that I'd say - I want Rock Band.
But that day came yesterday when I saw Ringo STar, Oko Ono, Paul McCartney, George Harrison's son up on stage at E3 supporting the new Beatles Rock Band, with exclusive content for the 360.
Talk about nostalgia rush, brought back some great memories.
SO bring it on. And, not long after release, they'll be offering the complete White album on XboxLIVE as DLC
My dad will love this game. Can't believe they actually showed some footage of it on the nightly news program in Aus...
Ringo and Paul were a joke and I quote: "the game is good, the graphics are better but were awesome".
Also whats up with Yoko Ono LENNON, this was the first time ever I heard her called by that name.
