LEGOs and Batman. Two staples of my youth that have done the mating dance and produced, what could be, one of coolest games based on the Batman franchise ever made. Bask in the glory that is the debut trailer as you wait until September to play the game. From the looks of things, there will be some nice two player co-op action.
Whoever created this has entirely too much time on their hands. But we get to enjoy it either way. Check out level 1-2 of Super Mario Brothers recreated in Legos. Awesome
All six episodes in one game, finally. Expect some new content, new missions, new hidden material, and a whole lot of block sized shenanigans.
Let’s face it, Lego’s are all the rage these days. From video games using them to toys about video game characters, everybody wants some Lego Lovin.
Marcus Fenix, the ever popular main character from Gears of War, has now been immortalized in Lego glory. The guys over at Brickshelf put this together for everyone’s enjoyment. Check their site for more pictures.
I want instructions, because I need one of these. I’m a huge fan of gaming relating toys to fill my desk.
Yes, lots of L’s. Thanks to colton_anderson for making this cool Lego logo for us.
We’re big fans of all things Lego, so this is right up our alley.
That’s right, the people at LEGO are extending their franchise to all of our favorite semi-action films of the 80s. This time, we get LEGO Indiana Jones. The game looks to be very fun, in true LEGO game fashion.
Finally we will be able to control an actual light saber from the safety of our living rooms. Our friends at computerandvideogames.com report that the Wiimote will be used in the upcoming release of Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. It is not a quantum leap, but definitely a step in a positive direction. What self respecting Star Wars fan doesn’t want to wield a light saber? The Z button will do most of the lego and weapons work but the waggle will constitute the actual use of the saber with striking and deflecting blasts. You know someone is going to dress as a Jedi and lock the door. You just know it’ll come to that.
We got word today that the Lego Group has released and official name and tentative release date.
Lego Universe, as it’s being called, will hit the streets in the fourth quarter of 2008.
From the press release:
The full-featured MMOG will be complete with character advancement, expansive social and community features, and will provide a child-safe alternative to other MMOGs on the market. As a player, you’ll be able to customize your mini-figs and interact in the universe as any character you choose, providing unique opportunities for players to expand and explore with their creations.
No word yet on what platforms the game will be released for, but I would expect a PC and console release. I’d also expect a low, if any, monthly fee since the game is being pushed for younger players. We’ll see what happens in a year and a half…
Just picture yourself running around casting Lego spells on other people. Does it get any better?
The guys over at iBricks, a site dedicated to all things Lego, have discovered the first in-game screenshot as well as some concept art from the new game.
