Rumor: And the next LEGO game is . . . LEGO Rock Band ?!?!

A “source” has told VG247 that Traveller’s Tales’ next LEGO game won’t be Star Wars. Won’t be Indiana Jones, either. Won’t be Robocop, won’t be Predator, won’t be Halo. It’ll be LEGO Rock Band.

Okay, get this. CVG is reporting that the new issue of EGM features a Gears of War 3 rumor. Come on, that’s just silly. Everyone knows that Cliff and the gang have “never announced” a trilogy. (Why do it now?) Besides, suggesting that Gears of War 3 will be released during holiday 2010 is just [...]
