Lego Rock Band (Musick Gaming Review)

12 hours ago | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

If you've got access to one of the current generation of video game consoles, chances are you've played at least one version of Harmonix's Rock Band series of games. The latest, Lego Rock Band, doesn't bring a lot of new to the table, but it definitely comes packed full of a lot of fun.

Lego Rock Band follows the same set-up as previous iterations. You've got your choice of playing bass, lead guitar, drums, or singing vocals using the corresponding custom controllers. The game does not include these, but is compatible with both the Rock Band and Rock Band 2 controllers, as well as most standard guitar controllers available. If you own just one guitar controller, that should be enough of a reason to pick this latest version up as soon as possible. You'll have a blast.

The visuals may seem a little kiddie, taking place in various Lego-themed locations and »

'Arrested Development' movie: 'It's really happening!'

5 October 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

I never know what to believe anymore re: the rumored Arrested Development movie, but this news seems pretty "Solid as a Rock" if you ask me: Creator Mitchell Hurwitz and co-executive producer James Vallely are working on a screenplay for the long-debated feature version of the short-lived Fox series. Okay! So it's really happening. Question for A.D. fans: Is it too soon at this point to start humming "The Final Countdown"? I mean, I hope that after embedding this video, I won't look back a la Tobias Fünke and think, "I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, »

Boy George has had an electronic tag allowing police to monitor his whereabouts removed.

With the Beastie Boys out of the picture due to Adam Yauch's cancer, the title of main attraction was up for grabs on the final day of the Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival in San Francisco.

Tenacious D, Jack Black and Kyle Gass' jokey acoustic metal duo, replaced the Beasties as the main-stage headliner on Sunday night, but it wasn't entirely clear if the majority of people who showed up in Golden Gate Park were there to see the D (even despite the chants of "We want D!" prior to their set). The band appeared to have a sense of humor about its fill-in status, selling a shirt at the festival that spoofed the Beastie Boys' Check Your Head album cover and warned, »
