They’re the most successful band of all time and they’ve topped the charts all over the world. Liverpool’s own fab four, John, Paul, George and Ringo (the Beatles) could be headed to a video game in the near future; but a video game that allows for the download of their music.

Discussions are currently going on to bring the Fab Four to a video game in a deal that could be worth millions, and utilise the extensive back catalogue of the Beatles.

The two video game companies who are interested in producing this game already have a great record of success with music based video games. Activision, who produced the hugely successful ‘Guitar Hero’ franchise, and MTV Games, who’ve made the equally successful ‘Rock Band’.

Both of those games allow the players to download new music for use within the games, although they cannot take the music from the game and transfer it to their computers, iPods or MP3 players.

If the Beatles game does go ahead it will allow the game company to take advantage of the huge Beatles’ back catalogue, which is still half owned by Michael Jackson.
