Harmonix, creators of Rock Band, yesterday released The Beatles: Rock Band to much fanfare from Beatles maniacs and video gamers alike looking forward to a new experience.

The Boston-based developer did receive a gracious proclamation from Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick announcing September 9, 2009 as Video Game Innovation Day in the state.

From the proclamation:

Whereas On this day, Harmonix Music Systems, the Cambridge-based inventors of Rock Band and developer of the original Guitar Hero games, is releasing The Beatles: Rock Band, a game that will not only bring the creativity and joy of The Beatles music to countless people, but will introduce the Fab Four to new generations of fans

Boston may not be as industry-heavy as San Francisco or Austin, but it s the little things that count. Until you grow tired of living in, you know, Boston.

(Just kidding, fellow Bostonians)
