Five LEGO Video Games That Will Never Be
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 11:00 AM on June 17, 2008
With LEGO adding a delicious layer of licensing to properties like Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Batman to generally welcome results, we won't be surprised when LEGO Halo becomes a real project or once proud properties like Tomb Raider resort to the LEGO treatment to win new fans.
The Minus World gang put together a list of five LEGO video games that will never ever happen, though we're not 100% sure that LEGO Juno is completely off the table. Our favourite is above, but heretics may find LEGO The Passion of the Christ more to their liking.

Yeah none of those will get made.
There seems to be a few things a movie must have/do to qualify for the lego treatment:
1 - action/adventure
2 - part of a franchise
3 - have a PG or M rating
4 - preferably have some kind of George Lucas involvement
Off the top of my head the only series I can think of that would currently qualify would be
further comic book adaptions - spiderman, maybe even wolverine (X-Men). Others?

Nothing would ever beat Lego Requiem for a Dream :D

Oh shit. LEGO Ninja Gaiden. Imagine, you decapitate a LEGO dude and his head just rolls around. Imagine picking it up, and since it's a LEGO, it still has its eyes wide open with a big smile.
Or, LEGO Dead Or Alive Extreme Volleyball. I mean, I think the non-bouncy tits would be more realistic than the actual game, because those girls have gotta be implanted, and that shit don't shake.

Lego Sparticus?
Monty Python's The meaning of Lego, The Lego Of Brian and the Quest for the Knobbly Grail?
I was rather disappointed by Lego Indiana Jones, it was way to short and was obviously pushed out hurriedly to cash in with the new movie.

@gcZanmato: I dunno why they didn't just call it "No Country for Old LEGOs"...
That's way more catchy.

I would love to have some Lego games that are just based off past and present Lego themes, all with their own unique story and game play elements.
things like Lego Castle which could be a brawler type game, Lego Ninja for stealth based gameplay, Lego aquanaughts for under water fun. I believe there is lots of fun to be had with Lego.

I'm finding their other articels featured at the top, much more amusing. Super Cock Fight Brawl, lol.
Also, I don't care about movie adaptations. I just want some LEGO adaptations of video game series. LEGO Metroid, Zelda, Star Fox, Castlevania, Mystical Ninja, etc. Why bother with movies?

Lego Clockwork Orange would be cool, and The Lego Warriors. They could both be like GTA style, openworld games.

I wouldnt mind seeing more Lego games based on movies and not games.
How about Lego 12 Angry Men?
You get to watch a rather long cut scene that is somewhat confusing as there is no talking or word text. Than you must collect bricks to build up your case and than eventually build the truth..out of Legos.
It could happen.
