Amazing. These The Beatles: Rock Band trailers will rock your socks. The cinematic is my personal favorite. More later. I’ll try and figure out why it breaks my theme too… EDIT: Fixed? Still pretty annoying.

The Beatles: Rock Band was announced not long ago, but with a hefty $250 price tag that had many wondering just what was going to be in the box to make it worth that much. According to Kotaku, the game will be shipping with lots of nice, band-relevant instruments. The bundle includes: The Beatles: Rock Band game Höfner Bass controller Ludwig Rock Band drums with classic pearl finish, metal kick petal, and replica drumheads Microphone with a stand and apparently “additional special content” ...

In one of the more perplexing DLC moves, Harmonix has released the single “Charlene (I’m Right Behind You)” the “80s song by Stephen and the Colbert’s” on Rock Band.

Due to some poor life decisions, I find myself stranded for five weeks without any video games. What’s a guy to do, right? Well, rather than just giving you some of the headlines from the week’s video game news in lieu of what I was planning to be gameplay impressions, reviews, and the like, I’ve instead started a five week “All-Stars” feature. Each week we’re going to look at a video game era and spotlight my top three games from that era. Each of these games will also receive a place setting at the prestigious “Table of Honor” feature that I’m working on. Here’s the weekly plan: ...
