If you're paying for rights to put the music of the most successful band in history in a video game, you'd better dig deep and cough it up. Considering that not even iTunes got the Beatles into retail, MTV and Harmonix have a very lucrative, and perhaps controversial, task ahead of them.

What if we told you that the legendary band The Beatles will soon be gracing your preferred consoles via the franchise Guitar Hero? Nothing is set in stone yet but the company which owns the copyrights to Beatles music said that they want a game dedicated to the band. More on this after the jump!

THQ just released details regarding its profits for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Aside from money matters, however, the company's CEO also hinted at when they'll be releasing the next installments of their Saints Row and Red Faction franchises. Details await in the full article.

In a developer's diary entry, Elliot Olson talks about a championship game for MX vs. ATV Untamed (Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii, DS): The X-Cross Tournament. The tournament incorporates a number of different types of races, including two new gameplay modes. Check out the full article for details.

There's a lot of intense next-gen motocross action that's decidedly cringe-inducing in this MX vs. ATV Untamed gameplay video. The game's coming out for the Sony PlayStation 3, Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation Portable, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii, and this video standing in for the next-gen consoles. Let's sit back and watch as our modern-day gladiators ride their gasoline-powered chariots into battle with a track that's full of...well, rocks and mud.

So, what's new with THQ's MX vs. ATV Untamed? Well, the fact that it looks like a very exciting ride through a dirt track filled with obstacles that you can hopefully ramp off of and do tricks with the resulting "big air" that you get. Everything moves as smooth as silk, and we had our ocular cavities pleasantly tickled with the game's water physics.

What's great about this video of MX vs. ATV Untamed is that it shows off the game's model animations to be quite convincing, especially when it comes to the aerial tricks. One good example of it (and a rather nasty one at that) is the bit at the end, where the driver model receives a face plant courtesy of a botched Kiss of Death attempt. Ouch.

In any case, enjoy the video!
