If you loved Big Pink's "Dominos," which we included on LSTN 7, then chances are you'll also love Switch's remix. If you don't, well then, um...
There's finally a reason to bust out the plastic instruments again. The
Beatles Rock Band is pretty much everything I wanted it to be, maybe
even my favorite game of the year. You can play with up to six people,
sing up to three part harmonies with three mics (Lips wireless mics
work too, bonus!) and also play bass, drums and guitar all at once. You play the 45 song story through the
Beatles career starting at the Cavern Club with mop tops and ending as
hair farmers on the Abbey Road rooftop. I was pumped to see Harrison
songs like "Something" and "Taxman" in there too since I love 'the Quiet
One.' The best part about playing this was seeing non-gamer friends go from "I'll give
it a try" to asking which song we should do next... three hours later.
