    It has been rumored for months now, but Apple Corps LTD., MTV and Harmonix finally announced the long awaited “The Beatles: Rock Band” game earlier today. This is the first time ever that Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison have given their blessings for a Beatles based videogame.
