*** Competition Closed *** *** Congratulations to Kevin Connolly *** *** who wins the Beatles Rockband Game *** *** and replica Rickenbacker 325 Guitar *** Beatles Week continues on Culch.ie with a look at the new Beatles Rockband game. To coincide with the launch of the Remastered series on 09/09/09, EA releases its newest Rockband game and it has raised the bar. In July, I went to London to preview the game and got to play around with it as well as meet one of the game’s producers.
