Additional tracks have been announced for Lego Rock Band (PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and DS), and fittingly, following the demise of the King of Pop, they're making room for a Jackson 5 track, so said Traveller's Tales boss Jonathan Smith.

Lego Rock Band be bringing the house down, baby (and we got more screens too). See, when the game was officially announced yesterday, I was wondering how much humor and playfulness the Lego brand of gameplay would bring to the Rock Band setting. Don't look now, but LRB will have you going against giant enemy crabs robots, skyscrapers, and call up weather storms by sheer rock power.

No more rumors. No more should-have-been slide presentations. Lego Rock Band is now confirmed for the PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and DS. In fact, why not we throw in a screenshot and a partial track list too?

Is there a LEGO Rock Band in the works? If we're going to base our answer on the recently-concluded GDC presentation of Harmonix senior designer Dan Teasdale, the answer would be no. However, if we are going to base it on his should-have-been presentation, that's quite a different matter altogether.

The long-rumored Lego Harry Potter has never been officially confirmed. Today, it won't get officially confirmed either. Just... confirmed. This comes from Traveller's Tales animator Charlotte Parker who, in her online resumé, reveals that she is already working on the said title... and another one to boot.

You've got the Star Wars franchise, Batman, and Indiana Jones - all of them getting their own multiplatform Lego treatment for the past few years. And just last month, talks of a Harry Potter Lego ran rampant, with Warner giving a "no comment" response to the rumors. Now, it's been revealed that, whether or not Traveller's Tales really is Lego-fying Hogwarts, it definitely won't happen next year. Meanwhile, they might just throw us a new (err, newly recycled?) Lego game instead.

Sufferin' succotash, not another Lego rumor! (Yes, I mutter Looney Tunes curses when I hear facepalm rumors.) One of videogaming247's sources is claiming that another Lego game is in development. A Rock Band Lego game, at that.

Holy launch trailers, Batman! Are you ready to prance around the streets of Gotham with your undies worn over your tights? Lego Batman: The Video Game gets released today in North America, simultaneously for its PS3, PS2, PSP, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, DS, and PC versions. To celebrate the launch, Traveller's Tales has released a trailer compiling clips and cutscenes from the game.

We've got new screenshots for Lego Batman: The Videogame (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PSP, Wii, DS, PC). This time, we're featuring more of the villains than ever, including the now very cute Man-Bat. If the last Batman movie didn't quite fill your craving for superhero action, maybe these assets will help stuff that void. Images after the jump.

Some industry insiders have long suspected that LucasArts may be in the process of restructuring itself. It's all official now as layoffs have been confirmed after the release of Lego Indiana Jones (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC,  PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Wii, DS). Details after the jump.
