Lego Rock Band Has No Mercy
First it was Lego Iggy Pop. Then Lego David Bowie. Then Lego Freddie Mercury. And I knew that I had to buy the game, no matter what the financial burden. But now… now Lego Rock Band is just just heaping on the awesomeness, because Ray Parker Jr.’s “Ghostbusters” theme is playable.
Holy Skywalk. It’s absurd how awesome this game is. I can’t even decide what’s better about the level — the supernaturally floating Lego bricks or the fact that you can destroy Lego ghosts with the power of your rock. I don’t know. It’s all so awesome that I think I need to lie down for a while.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
