Okay, so we all know that Minecraft is all about your creativity and imagination. It's like LEGOs or play dough - all well and fun until someone decides to swallow it. It is even being used in Kenya for urban planning - wish we could do something similar in SA!

Breaking Bad, the next Lego game
I’m yet to get into Breaking Bad properly but one thing I know for sure is that it would make an absolutely terrible Lego game… and yet I was proven wrong on that point this morning by PixelVulture who posted up this awesome Lego Breaking Bad mock video.

LEGO The Lord of the Rings Review
Traveller’s Tales Games has made quite the reputation for themselves. They’ve been making LEGO video games of popular movies since 2005, when LEGO Star Wars was released. Each LEGO game has improved on the formula and we’ve had some gems over the years. The LEGO adaptation of The Lord of the Rings trilogy is no different. In fact, it has some new surprises up its sleeve.

Your Lego is about to get a dose of TURTLE POWER!
In life, there is one constant, and that’s that Lego will always remain awesome. Sure, the stuff may be the same price as a small African nation these days, but there’s no denying that the Danish blocks will always be there to get the creative juices rolling, or find a way to embed a 4x2 piece in your foot late at night. And now, Lego has combined with those heroes in a half shell. LEGO POWER!

Minecraft Xbox 360 review – Bring out your creative side
Do you like Lego? Ever fancied building something, but either not having 10 000 of the same colour blocks, or having to pack up every day stop your creative genius? I always wanted to build the Death Star, but only had about 100 grey blocks. Luckily, if you suffered from any of these constraints, Minecraft is here for you.
Minecraft is all about cubes, because everything is made of cubes. Dirt cubes, stone cubes, water cubes; even your little character is a 2x1 set of blocks. All these blocks make up the world, which is infinitely large, for you to conquer. But don't just stand there! Monsters come out at night, and they love the way you taste. So smack that tree until you get wood.
No really.

Help remake Super Mario Bros – In Lego!
Ever since Tim Schafer and his Double Fine Studios managed to hit it big with the crowd-sourcing initiative that is Kickstarter, we’ve seen a massive surge in gaming-related projects popping up.
Wasteland 2, Leisure Suit Larry, The Banner Saga and Police Warfare, these are just a few of the projects that are going to be up and running soon, thanks to funding from the eager masses.
And then you get one Kickstarter entrepreneur, who happens to be asking you to donate cash towards a Lego reconstruction of Super Mario Bros.

Moosa’s Musings: So open-ended the fun fell out
As gameplay duration extends, I feel my age going with it. Suddenly, the idea of playing forty hours of a dragon-bashing fantasy game is as daunting a marathon as one attempted backwards, one-legged, while reciting the Russian alphabet… in North Korea. This is not a complaint of my age, only my attention span. However, I’m not going to explain that to you since it’s autobiographical; and the only autobiographical posts worthy of Internet views are sex-tapes. And I have neither celebrity-status, female parts (the ones in the fridge don’t count), nor personal interest in conveying this. But with this realisation came another: that game developers often mistake choice for laziness, freedom for shallow plot-points, and endless liberty for undeveloped stories.
For many people games like Skyrim or its predecessors seem too good to be true and difficult to hate given their “open world” environments, choice-systems that apparently shape the world, and almost infinite amount of ways to tackle a situation.
But sometimes, as Francis Beckett said of disliking a friendly priest, it’s worth making the effort.

MW3 trailer done Lego Style
Watch this it’s awesome…
Damn I seem to have fallen short of my own minimum text rule so now I need to add something else in. Umm okay well some guy has an amazing talent and far too much time and has recreated the Modern Warfare 3 trailer entirely in stop motion Lego.
It’s pretty impressive to say the least and with it being Black Friday (day after thanksgiving) today there is absolutely no breaking gaming news at all so this is as big as the news gets today.
Watch it, it’s awesome.

Bricks of War – LEGO Gears of War
The LEGO games, for the most part, have tended to be family-friendly casual affairs. Imagine for a moment, if they weren’t - which is exactly what Kooberz Studios has done. Only they’ve brought their imagination to life with this video go Bricks of War; a brickified video of Gears of War. It’s got everything you’d expect; lots of cover, lots of blood, rolling around and shotgunning, complete with bloody, LEGO gibs. The locust themselves don’t look fantastic - but it’s all made up for when you see the Corpser and a little Lego Hammer of Dawn action.
We’ve seen all manner of faux LEGO adaptations of games, movies and TV shows - but this one’s special. Enjoy! If it caught your fancy, you can see the making of video here.

Check out this Lego Lancer
MojoRising, the guy who posted up that massively indepth Gears of War 3 vault review has returned with another Gears of War themed post. This time it’s an incredibly detailed Lancer made entirely our of Lego.
I stopped playing with Lego around the time that the price for a single box went past my monthly pocket money but that doesn’t mean I don’t still love the stuff.
Check out a full gallery and video of the Lego Lancer by clicking here

Assassins Creed Revelations Trailer LEGO-fied
Sometimes a video pops up that I just cant help but share. Sometimes they are funny, and most of the time they are just outrageously stupid. This one however is pretty awesome! A fan has put an interesting spin on the latest Assassins Creed Revelations trailer by converting the whole thing into LEGO! This has to be the video of the week. Hit the jump for some light-hearted fun!

LEGO: Pirates of the Caribbean Review – Savvy?
I know what you are thinking, another boring LEGO game with the same gameplay, the same graphics and the same muffled dialogue. Well if we are going to go into specifics, since the LEGO gaming franchise took off in 1997 this is the 40th game in the series.
But before you cast this one aside, let me throw some positive incentive your way. While the LEGO games may be getting on, the story lines are still fresh and as thrilling as the movies they portray, and after 40 games you can be assured they have ironed out all the bugs.
But is this enough? Will the success of the movies be enough to pull you back into the franchise, or do you need more? Hit the jump and find out.

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean has a debut trailer full of awesome… and blocks
Here's a fun fact: out of all of the LEGO play set genres, Pirate LEGO is absolutely and unequivocally the best of the bunch. When I was younger my family would often have to go weeks without the use of the dining room table because I’d spread my vast collection of Pirate LEGO play sets all over it. True story.
Traveller’s Tale and Disney Interactive announced late last year that Pirates of the Caribbean would be getting the LEGO treatment. The LEGO games are already awesome, but adding Pirates of the Caribbean to the series (and by extension pirate LEGO!) is possibly the coolest thing ever. Here’s the debut trailer. There’s lots of LEGO Jack Sparrow and a bonus monkey!

Lego Call of Duty : Block Ops
Traveller’s Tales have done pretty good business for themselves by taking beloved franchises and series, and blockifying them under licence from the Danish construction toys maker, LEGO. something tells me they’re not going to be making a kid-friendly version of Call of Duty any time soon, judging by the violence in this clip.
Youtube LEGO animator Keshen8 has created LEGO Black Ops using stop motion and lots of those blocky things I inevitably stand on in the middle of the night when going for a glass of water. Sure, it has little to do with Call of duty other than the name, but it’s darned cool anyway. If it were real? I’d totally buy it.

New film franchise LEGO game coming in May 2011
Do you like the LEGO games? I think gamers either love them for their quirky take on movie franchises and the bucket-loads of nostalgia they induce, or they hate them because those gamers have no souls and were probably forced to play with used syringes and toilet rolls when they were kids.
Anyway! There have been quite a few LEGO games in the past based on popular films; we’ve had LEGO Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman and Harry Potter. Now, a whole new film franchise is about to get the plastic brick treatment and you know what, I think this is the franchise I’m most excited about.
