t doesn't get much bigger than this — The Beatles: Rock Band brings the Fab Four into the living room for EA's latest music game. More than forty tracks headline the initial release, and two complete albums will be available for download in the coming months. The British Invasion hits the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii this week.
While it's generally assumed that flight simulators don't work on consoles, Gaijin Entertainment hopes to prove otherwise. IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey takes what made its PC predecessors so great, scrunches it down and repackages it for the console masses. The funny part? The Xbox 360 demo is utterly fantastic. This game does for World War Two air battles what Namco's Ace Combat did for modern day dogfights. 40+ authentic planes and punishingly realistic controls await PlayStation 3 and Xbox gamers.
In Darkest of Days, PC and Xbox 360 gamers get to see what would happen if modern day weaponry made an appearance in a number of historic battles. How would the FN P-90 have been received by Union troops at Antietam? I'm actually amazed someone didn't try this out years ago. Here's hoping that developer 8monkey Labs used caution while treading on the hallowed ground of these historic battlefields.
