Minifig games

I’m not a big gamer, but I do like games that you can just put on for ten minutes to kill a bit of time. I’ve been playing the LEGO Star Warson the PC for a while now and just love it. The way they have made the game and the game play is a nice departure from the usual shoot everything types games, or games that need 3 weeks of solid game play just to get past the welcome screen. This game is based on Episode I, II & III so you get characters like Anakin, Darth Maul, General Grevious and Mace Windu.

Then came LEGO Star Wars II which is pretty much the same thing, but based on Episode IV, V & VI with characters like Luke, Han and Princess Leia.

Recently a new game has been released that joins the two together and brings a few additional levels to the game, and best of all, if you play it on the Nintendo Wii, you get to use the light saber by waving your Wii remote around. For any Star Wars fan, that has got to be a reason for buying it! Oh, it’s called LEGO Star Wars Complete Saga.

So that’s Star Wars covered, but what else is there? I was also browsing through Brothers Brick again and saw them mention some screen grabs from a LEGO Batman game. My eyes lit up as it looks just as cool as the Star Wars games, so I’ll be keeping an eye out for any more news on that one.

I’m hoping the new Indiana Jones sets spark off plans for an Indy game too, and looking at the Lucasarts web site, this may not be too far away.
