Beatles Video Game Coming Soon?
You still can't buy their music on iTunes, but The Beatles soon may be coming to a video game near you.
The Financial Times is reporting that representatives of Apple Corps., the company the oversees The Beatles' business interests, have been in talks with both MTV Games (maker of Rock Band) and Activision (whose Guitar Hero is all the rage among video gamers these days). Which company they're more likely to choose to make a game is unknown.
While The Beatles have been slow to to come to new technologies (it was quite a while before the band's catalog was released first released on CD), the remaining members of the band (Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr) recently began exploring new avenues to get their sound out to the masses. For example, some Beatles tunes have been used on 'American Idol' and the Cirque du Soleil show "Love" in Las Vegas has been a hit with fans.
Word is a deal could be in the making within the next few weeks.
What will the game be like? (We would like to see a first-person 'Yellow Submarine' adventure. To visit a walrus. And an octopus' garden.) [Source: PaidContent and Joystiq.]

Some of the exciting game play we can expect:
1) All Your Walruses Are Belong To Us: Sunning themselves on rocks are 200 walruses. Most are just walruses, but one reveals Paul McCartney in a walrus costume. Click on a walrus to see if the walrus is Paul, but do it fast, as Heather Mills is lurking behind a rock ready to fling her leg at you and deduct points from your score. Fastest time wins.
and...
2) Oh NO! It's Ono!: You and the other two Beatles drag John Lennon form recording studio room to studio room at Apple Records, dodging the crafty Yoko Ono and her laser beam stare. If she hits Paul, George, or Ringo, points get deducted. If she hits John three times, he falls madly in love, and the Beatles break up. Winning requires George Martin getting security to kick her out of Apple Records.
3) Shank The Shankar (Bonus Round): Diverted to commune with Ravi Shankar, you try to collect as many sitars as you can while collecting profit checks from your previous recordings. Round ends when Ravi has nothing more to profit from your friendships.
