E3 06: The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch impressions (The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch)

11/05/2006

The original Legend of Heroes game rolled back the clock about ten years. It showed us that - given a great-looking PSP facelift - classic-style role playing has a place in our pockets. Legend of Heroes II plays it so close to its six month-old sibling that it's tough to even tell them ...

Traveller's Tales Would Love To Make LEGO Batman Sequel (LEGO Batman: The Videogame)

4/10/2008

An excerpt from the latest issue of NGamer, an interview with Traveller's Tales' Arthur Parsons:

"NGamer: Do you see the wider DC universe making it into Lego form? The Justice League could be good.

Arthur Parsons: Whether any more of the DC universe makes the transition into Lego depends largely on the success of Lego Batman, and on whether Traveller's Tales, Warner Bros. and Lego want to make any other characters into Lego games. I'd love to make a sequel to Lego Batman because it was immense fun to work on."

McDonald's LEGO Batman Toys in the Wild (LEGO Batman: The Videogame)

14/09/2008

Kim Fidler from Kombo.com writes: I happened to be out and about earlier today when I came across the newest line of toys at McDonald's. We told you about the LEGO Batman series earlier this month and it appears that they are now officially available. Check the picture I snapped above to see what you can score yourself when you pretend that you're buying a Happy Meal for your imaginary child.

This is one of those marketing campaigns that really does prove how big the LEGO series of games have become. Anyone planning on grabbing some of these?

Warner Bros have just released some new screenshots of Lego Batman and one Artwork.

Man-Bat to Appear in Lego Batman (LEGO Batman: The Videogame)

25/07/2008

The villain ranks for the Lego Batman game due out later this year continues to swell. Last month 1UP reported on the inclusion of Bane, Clayface, and Nightwing. This month 1UP only has one, but it's a wild one, literally. Man-Bat will be bringing his genetically mashed up bat powers to the bad guys side. Like many villains, Man-Bat is the product of good intentions gone wrong. Dr. Kirk Langstrom in an attempt to cure his deafness creates a serum using bat DNA. While it successfully granted him bat-like sonar, it also turned him into a man-sized bat. He gained wings, allowing him to fly, and superhuman strength, but like a bat lost much of his ability to see in daylight.

Nearly as insane as The Joker himself, Harley Quinn is a violent and unpredictable felon who will do anything to prove her love and loyalty to her beloved Joker."

New(ish) LEGO Batman screens (LEGO Batman: The Videogame)

22/05/2008

If LEGO games had voiceovers, we'd be too afraid of hearing Schwarzenegger's brutally awful dialogue to actually play LEGO Batman after seeing these new screens.

And if it were any other game, we'd be complaining about the lack of real-time lighting and bump-mapped textures, but the LEGO games are so charming that it doesn't matter.

LEGO Indiana Jones is the game everyone's talking about at the moment because ...

LEGO Batman storyline revealed (LEGO Batman: The Videogame)

13/11/2007

Nov 13, 2007 Details on the storyline for the LEGO Batman game along with info on playable characters has materialised in the wake of the first teaser trailer hitting the 'net. Obviously you slip into the Caped Crusader's boots - and sidekick Robin's - and crime-bust in what we're promised is an "interactive" LEGO Gotham City (whatever that means), but Warner Bros. has whispered in our shell-like ears that players will additionally get to control villains in the ...

Holy cow! First LEGO Batman trailer (LEGO Batman: The Videogame)

12/11/2007

Nov 12, 2007 The first official teaser trailer has appeared online for LEGO Batman. The second LEGO tie-in from the studio (and with LEGO Indiana Jones on the way) carries the same old PR tag-line, with TT hoping to take both franchises "and make something unique." Well Star Wars wasn't all that original, but it was certainly bloody good fun (and you can get the missus to play it as well). So far we know pretty much bugger all about Batman, but we reckon it's safe to assume Robin, The Joker ...

LEGO Batman has us... excited? (LEGO Batman: The Videogame)

30/03/2007

We're still 99 percent in the dark where LEGO Batman is concerned, but first artwork released suggests that the Dark Knight's sidekick Robin will be appearing alongside Bats in the game. Look at the art - how cool is that? What's currently confirmed about LEGO Batman is that a) it's being developed by LEGO Star Wars developers Traveller's Tales, b) is heading to multiple platforms and c) is due out in 2008. We can't wait. Seriously. And we'll add a d), e) and the rest of the alphabet as soon ...
