EG has live a brand new video of Lego: Rock Band, which looks like the introduction of the game.

Find it through the link.

It’s out this autumn for PS3, 360, Wii, PS2 and DS.

Eurogamer.de has a new trailer of Lego: Rock Band to feast your eyes over.

It features “Accidently in Love” by the Counting Crows. Game looks good. Song? Not so much.

It’s out this autumn for PS3, 360, Wii, PS2 and DS.

Like Bowie, Queen, and Iggy Pop before them, Blur are to be LEGOized in Lego Rock Band.

You can see the boys in action hammering along to Song 2 in their blocky forms over on Rolling Stone.

Thanks to RS, we keep shouting WHOO HOO through the house. Nice one.

Warner Bros. has confirmed that LEGO Rock Band will hit the UK on November 27.

Developers by Traveller’s Tales in conjunction with Harmonix, the game has loads of songs in it with the curses removed.

Nice track list there though.

Still, Short & Sweet is a bit innuendo filled, but maybe the kiddies won’t notice.

Queen guitarist Brian May has said that he is pretty much delighted to be a playable character in LEGO Rock Band, calling it “the ultimate accolade, to be portrayed in Lego. My dreams are all fulfilled now.”

Good to know he has outed that bit, especially to the BBC.

While speaking with the news outlet, he also dropped that there was talk “going on behind the scenes” about a dedicated Queen Rock Band title.

“Yes we’re into it, I think it may happen,” he said.

Neato. More through the link.

Warner Bros has just sent out the full tracklist for Lego: Rock Band.

It contains Blur, Pink, David Bowie, Ray Parker Jr, KT Tunstall, Kaiser Chiefs and more.

As well as the tracklist, it was also confirmed that Rock Band DLC will be fully compatable with L:RB fom release, as will be exporting tracks from L:RB over to the main Rock Band.

Read the PR, after the break.

You’ve heard the news. You’ve seen the screens.

Now watch LEGO’s version of David Bowie in action in the video posted after the break, courtesy of GameVideos.

Let’s Dance, people.

Some more shots of a LEGO-ized, smiling, David Bowie popped up for LEGO Rock Band on the net today.

You can get a look at ‘em over on GoNintendo.

It’s out for DS, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 in November.

Our dreams of playing as David Bowie are no longer a fantasy. They’re reality.

USA Today has the first shot of Bowie as a character in the game, also revealing that Bowie’s Let’s Dance will be in the game.

Sweetness.

Former Stooges frontman Iggy Pop is bringing his immaculately waxed chest to Lego Rock Band. Well, we guess he’s bringing the rest of himself as well, but come on, look at that.

Iggy will be shrinking down and rocking out to his own “The Passenger,” along with whatever else you might want to play. If it’s not “The Passenger,” though, he won’t enjoy it.

Jeux Video has a video of the pint-sized plasticine rocker in action. Do you think he looks a bit like Sephiroth, or is it just us?

Thanks, Kotaku.

CVG‘s gotten a quick peek at Lego Rock Band on this Nintendo DS, and apparently, it’s even more family friendly than the main versions of the game.

For one thing, “suggestive lyrics” will be absent from the game. Songs included on the DS’s surprisingly capable cart are Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs, Monster by The Automatic and Ray Parker Jr’s theme from Ghostbusters.

The game includes an ad hoc multiplayer mode, and its single-player functions similarly to that of Rock Band Unplugged.

Warner Bros. and MTV have announced five more tracks for LEGO Rock Band.

Here’s the rub:

• “You Give Love a Bad Name” – Bon Jovi
• “In Too Deep” – Sum 41
• “Accidentally in Love” – The Counting Crows
• “Aliens Exist” – Blink 182
• “Tick Tick Boom!” – The Hives

So far 13 tracks have been announced, and along with hair-band rockers Bon Jovi, another band with pretty hair is included in the list.

Check out the full thing on D’toid to see who we’re talking about.

Lego Rock Band will let you battle denizens of the deep with the “power of rock,” according to TT Games boss Jonathan Smith. We’re not lying.

“In a Lego world, where anything is possible, all the brilliant things about Rock Band mix with all the brilliant things about Lego,” Smith told VG247.

“The Lego character customiser means that pirates, knights and skeletons can be rock stars too, in amazing new locations. Battle sea-monsters, smash up an entire building, or take a trip into space, all with the power of rock!

“That essential Rock Band gameplay is still there; but now it’s also accessible to a broader audience, with new easy-play options, songs which everyone knows, and lyrics which are appropriate for all ages.”

Don’t worry, though. All that customisation shizzle won’t get in the way if you don’t want it to.

“Customisation is a key concept in all Lego games – but it’s totally up to you how much time you spend on it,” Smith added.

We’re pumped now. Destroying a building with rock power has to be a good thing.

Lego Rock Band releases for Wii, PS3 and 360 later this year.

Lego Rock Band will work with “current” Guitar Hero controllers, Traveller’s Tales boss Jonathan Smith has confirmed.

“We’re certainly compatible with all the forthcoming new Rock Band instruments – and in the future you’ll continue to be able to use any instruments which are Rock Band-compatible, as are the current Guitar
Hero controllers,” the boss told VG247.

The game, which releases for PS3, 360, Wii and DS later this year, ended up being a Rock Band product rather than a Guitar Hero one due to Harmonix’s enthusiasm for Lego, Smith added.

“The team at Harmonix have passion for Lego, and really pushed the idea forward,” he said.

“The core Rock Band idea of ‘building a band’ is perfectly aligned with the values and playfulness of Lego gaming.”

Lego Rock Band will have a Jackson 5 track, Traveller’s Tales boss Jonathan Smith told VG247 this morning.

“We have the Jackson 5′s amazing ‘I Want You Back’; “Breakout” by Foo Fighters, and ‘A-Punk’ from the brilliant Vampire Weekend,” said the developer.

These new tracks are in addition to those confirmed when the game was announced, named:

• Blur: ‘Song 2′
• Carl Douglas: ‘Kung Fu Fighting’
• Europe: ‘The Final Countdown’
• Good Charlotte: ‘Boys and Girls’
• Pink: ‘So What’

The game’s out later this year for 360, PS3, Wii and DS.

The first video for LEGO Rock Band has surfaced. Man, it sure is cute.

French gaming site JeuxVideo has it, so the words that pop up on the screen are not in English, obviously.

Details known so far can be found here in a previous post.

LEGO Rock Band was officially announced yesterday, and today some extra details have surfaced on Xbox.com – like destroying a giant robot using the power of rock.

No joke.

Here’s the lowdown:

• Songs you know and love: Rock out to everything from current radio hits to past favorites the whole family will enjoy.
• LEGO-themed rock challenges: Play killer riffs to destroy a giant robot, summon a storm, and demolish a skyscraper using the power of rock!
• Enhanced customizer: Don’t stop with your avatar, customize your whole entourage! Design the band, roadies, and manager just the way you want.
• Build fame LEGO-style: Collect LEGO bricks after each song to build cooler vehicles and move to new venues.
• LEGO rock den: Buy furniture, decorate the walls and customize your band’s hang-out as you climb the ladder to rock success.
• Fun for everyone: Turn down the difficulty with an easier skill set option for budding musicians.

Thanks, GoNintendo.

Harmonix designer Dan Teasdale’s confirmed on his blog that Lego Rock Band was supposed to be announced at GDC. He’s provided the slides to prove it.

There’s a PDF there of an earlier version of the designer’s GDC session – obviously, it didn’t happen. Looks like Lego Rock Band was planned to be announced prior to this year’s show.

Teasdale’s slides show that the game will hit in 2009.

Told you.

Thanks, Kotaku.

A “senior source” at Traveller’s Tales has told Eurogamer that there will be no Lego Harry potter in 2009.

Rumours of the title’s existence first appeared at the beginning of December.

VG247 was met with a “no comment” on the subject from Warner.

The firm told Eurogamer’s Johnny Minkley in a radio interview over New Year that, “There will be a Lego game in 2009. And I think it’s okay to say that you’ll be a bit surprised.”

EG is speculating the project is a second Indiana Jones game.

A source told VG247 last week that a Lego Rock Band title is in the works at the developer.
