I’d like to start off by saying that I’m definitely not a gamer, in fact I kind of hate playing video games. I think they’re a total waste of time. But I am very much into music and because of that I decided to get a video game system (I bought a PlayStation 3) so that I could play Rock Band. I found that I really enjoyed the drumming and singing aspects of the game due to their realism. When you are drumming on Rock Band you are hitting real beats that are in the song and when you are singing you really have to sing in tune and on time to get more points. I think this is really great practice.

Unfortunately there was a big down side to the Rock Band games I got. The songs. I’m pretty picky about music and to me about 90% of the songs on the Rock Band games I’ve got are just not very good. Or at least not songs I want to spend my time playing!

Thankfully this biggest defect of Rock Band is completely fixed by the newest version of the game due out on 9/9/9: Beatles Rock Band. The Beatles are not only the most influential and most popular group of all time, they are also my favorite so to say that I am excited about this new game is an understatement. I think it will be incredible to get to play drums as if I was Ringo and to sing like I am John Lennon. It will be awesome.

But there’s a lot more to The Beatles Rock Band Video Game than the fact that it comes with 45 Beatles songs (and you can download the entire Abbey Road album in October.) There’s also some new features that are unique to the game, most notably the harmony singing feature which allows up to three people to sing at once. This means up to six people can play the game at one time in all. This makes it a great game for a party so people can actually play the game rather than just wathing other people play.

Of course, for big Beatles fans like me, 9/9/9 is not just about this video game – it’s also about The Beatles Stereo Box Set which contains every Beatles album in newly remastered stereo.
