Lego!

Everyone loves lego, yeah, it’s a bad man toy you get me? Of course you do. While too old to play with real lego my only enjoyment has come from lego games such as Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones, and Lego Batman. Each game adapts their respective franchise into lego form, and while aimed at kids, they prove to be immensely enjoyable for just about anyone who plays them. Recently the series has somewhat stumbled, running out of franchises to “legofy”, they have resorted to releasing Lego Pirates of the Caribbean. Yeah, play as all your favourite characters from all your favourite movies! Distraught from playing the demo, I have come up with a list of franchises that should be “legofied”.

Lego Die Hard

With a fifth film in the works a lego game would be a perfect tie in, and who wouldn’t want to play as a lego John McClane? Or a lego Hans Gruber? Ok, it might be a little too violent for kids, and even with five films there wouldn’t be much source material, but an epic showdown in the Nakatomi Plaza would be…epic.

Lego The Notebook

One for the chicks. You would play as lego Ryan Gosling, and you’d do stuff that happened in the film…I haven’t seen it.

Lego The Wire

Or Lego Gritty Drama as they might call it. There would certainly be a variety of characters to play as, and a lego Baltimore would look impressive, but it may be too depressing for kids.

Lego Curb your Enthusiasm

You play as a lego Larry David, your objective is to talk your way into embarrassing and humiliating situations, and pick up the (lego) pieces in the process.

Lego Firefly

This game would be amazing, there would be a ton of characters with different skills, loads of action, levels in space, but it would get cancelled and you’d never finish the game.

Lego This Morning

Cooking, domestic violence, horoscopes, paedophilia, books, necrophilia, your task as lego Schofield is to provide links for impossibly unrelated segments. Would be the most challenging game ever.

Lego Dawson’s Creek

Every lego game requires you to spend hours collecting things, in lego Dawson’s Creek you would collect things like Spielberg posters, Pacey’s punch lines, Jen’s ex-boyfriends, and Joey’s inexplicable bad moods.
