jeffrubinjeffrubin: I enjoyed the opening cinematic to The Beatles Rock Band game more than all of Across the Universe. Watch it in glorious full resoloution here. It’s by Passion Pictures, who is also responsible for the bulk of the Gorillaz animation. This game couldn’t go wrong, but Harmonix is doing it right anyway.
