No, really, that's David Bowie. Click for a higher-resolution peak

Warner Bros. today announced the inclusion of David Bowie as a second playable character in upcoming music/rhythm game, Lego Rock Band, and also handed over a mess of new media seen above and below. Coupled with last month's Iggy Pop announcement , the game's playable-musician-who-probably-shouldn't-be-in-a kids-game quotient has officially been doubled. One major plus for Bowie: Lego character gender ambiguity is all the more fitting. Bravo, MTV Games! Now that's synergy.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? LEGO ROCKBAND? HOW MUCH MONEY ARE THESE GUYS GONNA LEECH OFF OF YOU GUYS. GET A REAL LIFE AND LEARN A VALID LIFE SKILL LIKE HOW TO PLAY A REAL GUITAR. JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESUS

Get off the internet and go make some real friends.

Do we really have to have one of you on every single music game article?

These games are fun, even if you DO play real instruments. Live a little dude.

Reminds me of the level in Elite Beat Agents on DS.

Troy Vanvelzen- lets give him a hand for not understanding what a videogame is

8-11 year olds can't get enough of this crap

This is such bullshit. That's not David Bowie, that's some lego. Why isn't he in GH5, where it would ACTUALLY look like him?

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

no i fully understand what a video game is im a gamer! How much do you spend on this whole rockband set? like more than 300 dollars. For that you can buy a real guitar. and lessons!

I can never justify buying this crap Especially when people are more impressed when people press 5 buttons in sync to what they see on a screen more impressive than actually playing a real guitar. Where are the times going?

Lmfao especially this game... its like they were sitting in the board room and there like "JIM!. You came up with the added drum sets in rock band...... And the BEATLES rock band set for diehard fans of the beatles that love this great band, but would still would like Direahh. think of another idea" "Umm... have we tried making it out of lego?"

"You have a gift my friend!"

So...wait...if they just put Klaus Nomi in...it's Venture Bros. Rock Band!!!

And still, what youngish-Lego-Rock-Band-playing kid is going to know who David Bowie OR Iggy Pop is???
