A bunch of new LEGO games were just announced

[The_Imp_ZA]

Over saturation much? I like LEGO games as much as the next guy, but it's starting to feel like they're just cashing in now. The last good one I played was Marvel Super Heroes, but even that was very derivative. I guess if people keep buying them...

I hope they call the T-Rex in Jurrassic World a T-Brix

In the game, players guide Emmet as he is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. With a delightful mix of over 90 characters from the feature film, including Batman, Superman and the Green Ninja, The LEGO Movie Videogame leads gamers on a journey through fantastical worlds in 45 exciting levels. Developed by TT Games, the mobile game is now available on the App Store.

Developed by TT Games, the mobile game will be available this summer.

Teaser trailer for LEGO Jurassic World:

[brendanvb]

I'm a huge Jurassic Park fan so this might be the first Lego game I'm tempted to play through for the nostalgia. Have the Harry Potter games that my SO enjoys but the childish nature really puts me off.

I think it depends of the franchise they're doing though. A lot of the earlier games felt a bit childish, but in my opinion anyway, Lego Lord of the Rings and the Marvel Super Heroes one nailed the atmosphere of those series as best as a game made of Lego could. I played through them with a buddy, and we had a lot of fun.

Maybe try and find a series that you both are into, and gave that a try. It could be a bonding experience

Yeah we did play some of the HP together, but it was just a little ridiculous for me so I gave that up around year 2 or so out of the 7 [emoji14]. I've noted the newer titles are beginning to feature voice acting and all now though so it seems to be going in the direction of a better experience for me. But as I say, huge JP fan, and seriously starved for some decent dino games, so while not ideal this should fill that hole nicely

I only ever tried Indiana Jones and Batman. Both were incredibly childish and put me off these games forever. Only LEGO game I'll consider playing is one where you actually build stuff. But for that there is LDD.

But aren't games for children meant to be childish.

There's a limit man. Little Big Planet is supposed to be a children's game as well, yet I enjoyed it immensely. You can make a game/movie/series for children and still make it appeal to an older audience as well.

Yeah exactly and LBP is the perfect example of the best balance of appealing to all ages.
