MTV Games, Harmonix, and a slew of other publishers have announced Lego Rock Band coming to Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS in 2009. The games are being developed by TT Games in partnership with Harmonix and will “allow families, tweens and teens to experience a wild journey to rock stardom where they can ‘Build a Band and Rock the Universe.’”

“LEGO Rock Band combines the multiplayer music experience of Rock Band® with the fun, customization and humour of the LEGO videogame franchise packed with brilliant chart-topping songs and classic favourites suitable for younger audiences, including:

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

Looks like a great game for family gatherings, but we do feel the need to ask where we draw the line in the music genre. Is there really a need for so many music games in one year? This genre seems to even be putting EA sports to shame.
