News You'll Need To Dig Deep For This Insane Lego Minecraft Set
Blockbusting
A lot of Minecraft's appeal can be traced back to construction toys like plastic building blocks - a fact which is neatly acknowledged by the growing range of Lego toys based on Mojang's famous title. Lego's Minecraft sets have been pretty decent so far, but this latest offering is shaping up to be the most expansive - and expensive -...

We have a good feeling about this
Warner has released the first gameplay trailer for LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and it gives a solid taster of what we can expect to see in the finished product.

News LEGO Marvel's Avengers Season Ticket Goes Big With New Levels and Characters
Plenty for $10
DLC Season Passes are currently looked upon with some suspicion, as some high profile examples have failed to deliver on the goods in the current generation. At £8 / $9.99, however, the LEGO Marvel's Avengers Season Pass on Wii U (and other platforms) is actually looking like great value with a lot of characters and new levels...
News Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Secures Top 10 Place in Single Format NPD Chart
An otherwise quiet month for Nintendo
January isn't exactly the hottest month of the year for game sales, with many bemoaning the impact of Holiday excess on their bank balances. As a result there weren't many big-name releases, though Nintendo of America did have some success with its major release of the month. Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam hit...
Video TT Fusion Explains How It's Handling THAT Scene In LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens
If you haven't seen the film, walk away now
The announcement of LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens might have been predictable, but that doesn't mean we're not excited about the prospect of playing through the latest block-based adventure - especially as the movie on which it is based remains so fresh in our minds. Game Informer has been chatting to...

News Lego Avengers Features Story Content From Other Marvel Movies
Six films covered in total
The forthcoming Lego Marvel's Avengers video game for Wii U and 3DS will cover more than just the two Avengers movies released so far, it has been revealed.

Video New Lego Dimensions Launch Trailer Promises The Earth On Wii U
Block-buster
With just a few days before the launch of Lego Dimensions on Wii U, a brand-new launch trailer has been published which makes it clear just how much stuff is packed into this game.

Don't go into the long grass
In case you've been living under a rock or have been crystallized in amber for millions of years, a new film in the Jurassic Park series has been unleashed into the world. As has been the case with so many film franchises before it, this release also brings along with it a LEGO video game adaptation. Welcome to the 3DS...
Review LEGO Jurassic World (Wii U)
Fun but lacking InGen-uity
A whole lot of chaos has ensued on the islands of Isla Sorna and Isla Nublar. Since 1993 we've seen two state-of-the-art theme parks abruptly go defunct and two rescue missions disastrously unfold on these isolated chunks of land. The crazy thing is, we relish in the spectacle that results from these unfortunate events...

"You didn't say the magic word"
The latest Lego Jurassic World trailer shows more of the game and its customisable dinosaurs.

Rumour TT Games Currently Working On Minecraft Rival Called Lego Worlds
Blockbuster?
Minecraft has often been described as virtual Lego, and we've even had crossover Lego sets based on the popular video game.

With the Tardis and K-9 in tow, naturally
Keeping up with all the news about Lego Dimensions is no easy task.

Perhaps not as mind-blowing as the gameplay...
Review LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin (3DS)
Left in the dark
At this point, "Oh, look! Another LEGO game!" is a phrase that can only be said with genuine excitement or seething, bitter sarcasm. Regular releases in the LEGO series of video games have become such a constant in the industry that these action-adventure titles are on the verge of becoming a genre of their own. Not to leave the...

Wii U release confirmed
Lego Dimensions - Lego's much-rumoured Toys To Life concept - has finally been officially revealed.

Rumour Warner Bros. is Working on Building a LEGO Toys-To-Life Game
Get those wallets ready
The toys-to-life idea introduced in Activision’s Skylanders series is a deviously profitable one. The whole business model is built on the idea of selling video games alongside a range of toys that unlock specific content when scanned into the games after using a certain peripheral. So, in essence one must pay a significant...
News LEGO The Hobbit DLC Trilogy Expansion No Longer Planned for Release
To never be continued...
LEGO The Hobbit was a peculiar release, as unlike a number of its licensed contemporaries it didn't tell the whole story. Released mid-way through the film trilogy's arrival in cinemas, it covered events for the first two movies only, ending with a 'to be continued' message. The understanding was that DLC would be released...

Jurassic World, Marvel's Avengers and more Ninjago
The LEGO franchise is one of the most lucrative in gaming, with a daunting range of IPs given the blocky treatment over a number of years.

Bricks, Bats and Beyond
With a steady schedule of semi-annual releases, dependably decent (and sometimes downright excellent) gameplay, and an ever-expanding stable of licenses, LEGO games are fast becoming the comfort food of family-friendly gaming. The Wii U alone has seen a half a dozen of the titles in the two years since its launch, and the...

Preview Bat-Swinging into Action in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
Go West young man
Already a successful branch of the LEGO series of games, the LEGO Batman line is soon to add a third entry into its already successful lineup. LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, as its name suggests, takes the action outside of just Gotham and spreads it around the globe and even outer space — but does it measure up? We got some...
Review LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids (3DS)
Cyberpunk ninja bricks
It's a new month, which means that the team behind the ever-popular LEGO games has a new release to share with the world. Rather than building a game based off of a popular book or film series, the latest addition to the LEGO pantheon is based on the company's own Ninjago universe. Acting somewhat as a sequel to 2011's LEGO...
News It's Almost Time To Bust Some Blocks With Lego Ninjago: Nindroids On Your 3DS
Title launches at the end of the month
While Lego-based franchises such as Lego Batman, Lego The Hobbit and Lego Marvel Super Heroes tend to steal all of the press attention, it's important to remember that the block-building toy line also has its own unique range of video games to fall back on. Lego Ninjago is based on the toys of the same name...

Barrel full of mediocrity
It doesn’t take an analyst to know that the entertainment industry loves a good trend, and one current example is to find a hugely popular work of fiction, turn it into a big-budget film, then let Warner Bros. make a LEGO video game out of it. The works of beloved fantasy author J. R. R. Tolkien, of Lord of the Rings and...
Delayed until April 22nd, out this week on other formats and in Europe

Back in 2011 LEGO enthusiasts had the chance to enjoy LEGO Battles: Ninjago, a DS title for the spin-off franchise that was "wildly successful", according to Warner Bros.

Review The LEGO Movie Videogame (3DS)
Movie Mildness
Video game tie-ins have been haunting films since the inception of the interactive medium, especially when those films are deemed "kid friendly." Essentially used as a marketing ploy, video games based on motion pictures are usually ill-fated projects that never stood a chance from the very beginning. From Disney cartoons to sci-fi...

No friend of mine
Warner Bros. Interactive and Hellbent Games' LEGO Friends is a bad game. There's no nicer way of putting it. A squandered opportunity to make another gaming hit out of a popular LEGO property, LEGO Friends feels like a cynical cash-in designed to provide young gamers with a few minutes of mindless diversion before they request the...
