It might simply be "happenstance", as Harmonix man John Drake describes it, that The Beatles: Rock Band hits day and date with the fully remastered back catalogue, but it is nevertheless an unprecedented Beatlesgasm beyond the wettest, wildest dreams of oily marketing men.
It's hard to understate just how big a deal this simultaneous release is for the games industry. Remember, after all, that this is the most treasured, valuable back catalogue in music, and one that has notably never been made (legally) available in digital form. Yet, on 9th September, gamers will be able to download Abbey Road in its entirety as part of the first wave of DLC.
"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
