All You Need Is Love...And $60

As most of you are probably all aware, The Beatles: Rock Band was released just in time for everyone to remember that The Beatles have been gone for 40 years. They were still met with hordes of screaming fans, although this time there were less hot teenage girls and more hot, sweaty man-children vying for their music. Even though we can all admit that getting old sucks, The Beatles: Rock Band eases the strain by being the most totally awesome game ever. That is, as long as you like playing with a small plastic guitar while other people, you know, go outside. Fortunately, I’m one of the former. Playing The Beatles: Rock Band is a joy for your own motley “flab four” as each of your fellow band mates step into the shoes of what is arguably one of the greatest bands of all time. The 45 tracks included in the game are phenomenal, and with more downloadable content to come, this game can keep Rock Band completionists and Beatles fans alike busy for a long time. The Beatles: Rock Band also manages to be the ultimate party game because, well, everyone and your grandma likes at least some of their songs. So take a trip down Abbey Road and strap on your wee-instruments again, fellow nerds, because this is one Magical Mystery Tour you won’t want to miss.
