    I'm a happy camper. I was lucky enough to try out my most anticipated game of 2009 this past Saturday night, The Beatles: Rock Band, 4 days before its official release. I wrote an article from my hands-on time with the game, which you can read on EndSights right here. You can take the opportunity to check out the coverage from PAX coming from the rest of the crew also, including some very insightful (no pun intended) chatter from the show in 2 podcasts they did. Great work guys!

    In other news, I completed Batman: Arkham Asylum. Awesome game, and one of my favorites so far in 2009. Aside from completing the story, I also solved all of the Riddler's riddles and the mystery surrounding the Spirit of Arkham.

    That's pretty much it. Have a great week everybody!

    @ieatlions: Yes, it is my most anticipated game of 2009.  Not MW 2, not AssCreed 2, this one... although I am looking forward to those 2.

    I didn't play a "demo", I played the entire story mode from start to finish.  Although you're right about it being Rock Band, but with The Beatles, there are some pretty cool differences between a regular RB game and this one.

    Good on ya.  Sadly, I've only gotten my hands on playing the demo at Best Buy, but I'm really looking forward to picking it up on Wednesday. 
    The Beatles + Rock Band = peanut butter in my chocolate!

    Its been sent out to me yesterday so chances are it could arrive a day earlier than the release date.  Too bad I can't play it with you until Saturday at the latest since its my brother's early shift this week but looking forward to it nonetheless.

    Did you find a large decrease in challenge over previous RB games?

    @Everyones_A_Critic: Well, since I sing and don't play instruments, I did.  The Beatles have some pretty tough harmonies in their songs, so the challenge will be fun.

    Arkham Asylum is one of my favourite games so far this year also.  I was really surprised at how well it turned out.
