Time to take that walk in the historic Abbey Road as MTV Games, Harmonix and Apple Corps, Ltd. announced today the launch of Abbey Road (1969) as the first of the Beatles' album to be released as downloadable content. The DLC will be landing in The Beatles: Rock Band (PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii)Music Store on October 20 for the Xbox 360 and Wii, and October 22 for the PS3.

They heard us crying loud... I can hear Billie Joe Armstrong singing "When I Come Around" while I'm typing this down. Growing up to the music of their Dookie album has that kind of effect. Anyway, as previously announced, Green Day is gonna make their July 7 schedule into Rock Band 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2), for the Wii version at the very least. "When I Come Around" may not be in the first batch, but I'm still hoping that the Dookie album will have its day.

A new DLC pack is headed for the Guitar Hero: World Tour (360, PS3, Wii), and this time, it's for all the punk rockers in all of us. Even the name of the pack is punk-sounding, with Epitaph Punk-O-Rama Track Pack as the title. Obviously, as you may also see from the name, it's all about the Epitaph artists. List after the jump.

It's Sunday again, so it's time for another edition of On Shelves This Week! I sure hope you held back on the date splurge yesterday because we've got a solid lineup this week! For starters, Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride is due up tomorrow, then Street Fighter IV will come out the day after that. If you've still got cash, you might wanna get Prinny for your PSP and GTAIV: The Lost and Damned for your Xbox 360. All you need to know is just a click away.

Big things are heading their way for Japan's pocket-sized Final Fantasy tower defense game. The latest issue of Famitsu reveals that Crystal Defenders will be heading to consoles, via the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and WiiWare services.

You're sure to get a jolly, rockin' good time this Christmas with this awesome downloadable content for Guitar Hero World Tour (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii) this month. Classic gods of rock has indeed come down to join us mere mortals, such as The Eagles, Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana, and a pinch of Reggae is added to for taste.

The game Bullet Witch for the Xbox 360 by Atari is an action-adventure game which has been receiving some attention lately.  Launched last February 28, the game was received relatively well by the gaming community. Now, there's more to rave about as new content for the game has been released in the Xbox Live Marketplace and will continue to be released for the next few weeks.

The offered downloads include a costume change for Alicia, a brand new mission, as well as two enhanced missions. The new costume is called "White Witch" and is free to download. At 20 MS points, a new mission called "Dynamite Beauty" can be bought. The two other downloads are enhanced versions of the "Clad in Streaming Black" mission. One has "Great Spells" unlocked while the other has a higher difficulty level. You can obtain both for 20 MS points each.

For those who can't get enough of Bullet Witch and its heroine Alicia, more new costumes (which will be free of charge) and new missions (for 20 MS points each) will be available in the coming weeks. Check out some of the screenshots and videos to see if you'd like to play dress-up with Alicia.
