Why Lego? We’re just doing our part to help you all relax! Actually, today’s comic was inspired by the fact that Gamestop (and EBGames, Babbages and whatever other chain they’ve bought out) has the surprisingly entertaining Lego Batman on sale for any platform for $19.99 (new). All things considered, this is a tremendously good deal. They were out of the PC version when I went (we actually have three stores in town, but I only went to one), so I bought it for the 360. It’s a lot of fun… much better than Lego Indy. Of course, I don’t know how it will compare to Lego Rock Band… only time will tell.
Speaking of Rock Band, I picked up the PSP version. Headphones are a must, and I’m thinking I will have to install the hack to let me play it as an iso to run it from a memory stick (and save the poor battery), but it’s much better than I suspected as well. All in all, a good gaming weekend.
Now, where is that Sunday clue? I have looked all over the house.
Yes, that was a much, much better to get that kind of news. They should have a completely different news channel – all Lego, all the time – fair, balanced, and connected. Hannity & Duplo. Lego Guy 360. Lego King Live. And now for the annoying fangirl portion of this comment:
I have to disagree (while realizing my thoughts all fall down to preference) – Lego Indiana Jones is my favorite of the Lego-converted Video Game Franchise. I mean, I was excited about Lego Batman – ran out to get it on it’s release date (apparently missing the opportunity to buy it for $20), and enjoyed playing it, but I thought I’d love it more. I stayed up far into a few nights playing Lego Indiana Jones and was addicted to it, and Lego Batman… I let it sit, then played.
While it’s better, in my opinion, than either Lego Star Wars installment, I place Indy in the Lead. But maybe I’m just sour because that “secret” Wayne Manor level was tedious the first time.
Interesting, I feel the same way about the two games, but in reverse. It may just be leftover sour feelings from that last movie, of course.
“Fair, Balanced and Connected.” Best. Line. Ever!
“It may just be leftover sour feelings from that last movie, of course.”
Fair enough/True (you’re not the only one – that was an abomination). And since the new installments of the Batman movies have gone above expectations (in my opinion), I find a “Batman & Robin” joke would no longer be relevant in speaking of “that last movie”. Tempting, yes – accurate, no.
