I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but the New York Times Sunday Magazine's cover story is about the making of the Beatles Rock Band game (and is cutely called "While My Guitar Gently Beeps"). Check it out

Great article! Thanks Rastus.

I've been playing guitar for about 15 years now, but somehow I suck terribly at Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Even so, this is the first music game that I'm actually pumped about playing.

Now I just need Death Metal Hero and I'll be good.
