Beatles' Music Coming to Video Games

MTV Networks and Harmonix (creators of "Rock Band") are creating a brand new video game, based solely on the Beatles! The game is being described as a "journey" through the band's career, from the Beatles' first album, Please Please Me, to their last, Abbey Road.

According to MonstersandCritics.com, "The game will mark the first time that the Beatles have sanctioned the use of their music in new media. Their songs are not even available over iTunes. The deal was struck after 17 months of negotiation and was supported by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr as well as the widows of George Harrison and John Lennon".

Specific details on the game itself are being kept hush-hush, but the parties revealed that it is already in development and will be compatible with "Rock Band" instruments.

The game is scheduled to be released in late 2009. Click here to read the press release.
