The Beatles: Rock Band
Former Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were once again on stage together at the launch of The Beatles Rock Band game.
Paul and Ringo were joined by John Lennon and George Harrison’s widows, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, at the E3 Electronic Entertainment expo in Los Angeles.
The Beatles: Rock Band is a take on the popluar Guitar Hero computer game. The game allows gamers to play along to their favourite songs using controllers which mimic the Fab Four’s instruments. I’m not sure how many gamers have even heard of The Beatles, let alone want to plat along with hits from the sixties!
The Beatles Rock Band game could start family feuds as teenagers all over the world complain about how parents are wasting too much of thier life playing computer games!
Ringo Starr said: “The game is good, the graphics are very good and we were great.”
Paul McCartney added: “We love the game. We think it’s fantastic. Who’d have ever thought we’d end up as androids.”
The game has been developed by Harmonix, the makers of the Rock Band game series.
