Lego Batman

One of the most unexpectedly brilliant releases for Xbox360 was that of Lego:Starwars. I don't know about you but I feel like the Star Wars franchise of games has been... well, absolutely terrible! And the Lego games, while probably the most fun for kids, have never really managed to grasp me. That's probably why, I was never holding high hopes for a Lego: Star Wars cross. Low and behold, they made an absolute stormer of a game. Everything you love about Star Wars and everything you love about Lego all mixed up in an amazing game engine which really puts the Star Wars universe into another light. There was great gameplay, you didn't care about the limited graphics and it really caught hold of the older fans with the original trilogy being retold in the best way. There were tonnes of cool unlockables and a great co-op mode. All round great game.

So, what next? I'll tell you what! BATMAN! And with the new age Batman being so popular, it might come as a surprise that they've gone back to the old tv series style Batman and Robin and it looks brilliant. I think this is a great move because I'm hoping that the cartoony nature of the lego can bring out the best in the old style. They took it back to the original with the Star Wars and they're doing the same here!

This might not be news to you but these new screens will be!
