2009 has basically come and gone and this year saw OXCGN.com go places which we never thought we would go in such a short time as a Community Xbox Website. We’ve ranked as low as 60k on the global Alexa ranking system, though we have leveled off at 120k, and pulled off a Google Page Rank of 3/10, both of which are huge tasks for any indie game site, especially one that is just over 2 years old.

2009 saw OXCGN attend E3 ’09 in L.A., various THQ, Ubisoft, Rockstar, Microsoft and other events all around Sydney and getting to play and see a plethora of new games from the PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, PSP, Wii and of course the iPhone.

Come see OXCGN’s GOTY Awards, you may get a big surprise . . . !

The Beatles: Rock Band is nothing short of a masterpiece. Beatles fans span decades and this accessible yet challenging game bridges the generational divide. There is something for everybody to love in this game.Beatles Rock Band oxcgn #26

The band’s original fans will get a kick out of seeing The Beatles perform in the Cavern Club or on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Younger fans will love finally seeing Beatles songs released on the interactive Rock Band format.

Parents can play with children to expose them to their favorite band, and children can play with parents to expose them to video games.

Ticket to ride here . . .

There was a split second at the start of Microsoft’s keynote yesterday when I questioned not only the keynote but what the hell was so special about The Beatles: Rock Band?

All We Needed Was Love

All We Needed Was Love

But just five minutes later, even before Ringo and Paul trotted out (noticeably from the opposite side of the stage to Yoko Ono) I was sold. And it wasn’t just myself, there seemed to be a general consensus amongst press and the guys at Infinity Ward who I happened to sit with.

In an effortless, nostalgic trailer, Harmonix conveyed exactly why their music games are so loved, and how much they themselves love The Beatles. It’s that love of music that really shines through with Harmonix titles and in my mind at least sets them apart from Activision and Neversoft’s more blatantly commercially motivated licensed efforts, with GH: Metallica being a striking exception rather than the rule.

Let’s share the love . . .>
