I think the best would be Lego Riddik. Guy walks up behind the target, grabs his head, and "pok!".

Xagest

@Mike Fahey: You should try and pitch "Lego Caligula" and "Lego Schindler's List" to them and see how well it goes with their whole young kid demographic. :)

Sensai-N

Lego Fight Club please!

liquid_kore

Whenever anybody mentions Traveller's Tales, all I can think of is Sonic 3D Blast. They've still got that weird logo, I see.

tim333

Now that New Line Cinema, owned by Warner, has the rights to Gears of War...I think the next step is obvious.

Venture into the dark underbelly of the Earth with LEGO Marcus Fenix and fight the Locusts swarm, resisting their destruction of humanity brick by brick.

LEGO Gears of War...coming soon.

nick.soapdish

But Lego "A Clockwork Orange"? It should already have went gold!

endaround

Lego X-men or Marvel Heroes would be cool.
What about making a fighting game with "Lego Decapitation"?

akilshohen

@Nirolak: Ugh but Superman is lame. :(
Ooh! Maybe a Star Wars: The force Unleashed Lego! :D

drweazel

@drweazel: I'm thinking Lego Superman, as it seems to fit in with the other choices they've made.

Nirolak

Personally I'd like to see Lego 10 Commandments. There's a book some guy did on Lego bible stories and still hasn't been sued.

blizzardjesus

I'm curious to what series Lego will do next. Probably something that is connected to other media like movies (i.e Indiana Jones and Batman).

drweazel

good on them

adamr999

Yeah, nothing says "We're not trying to take your money" like releasing Star Wars: Episodes 1-3, Star Wars: Episodes 4-6, and then combining them to release Star Wars: The Complete Saga.

Thanks for not "taking the piss" out of me.

skrame ☆

Could they do a LEGO LoTR, or are the rights tied up in excessively nasty knots?

Johnny_Clueless

otherwise! otherwise!! LOL I was sick of the idea around the time the original Star Wars lego game came out ( that unlike the first three movies dint need the story to be told in a tolerable way ). Then the Lego Indy game was just like playing Star Wars hahah as a trooper...to much eye rolling. The charm is dead...unless playing as batman with a grapple hook is somehow something more then a new graphic skin on the same old thing.

spacecoffin2

I would really like to see a LEGO Marvel or Lego DC, the unique humor and gameplay would be awesome. Imagine the amount of unlockable characters, it would be incredible.

@drweazel: I agree, but they should add it as some DLC for the Complete Saga. It would be too short as a stand alone game.

Makidian

Woah, a company who's not trying to beat a dead horse for money? This must be bizarro world, but on the plus side, this is a nice counterbalance to the article on LucasArts earlier, and their ruining of the Star Wars franchise with bad games.

Traveller's Tales gets a Gold star!

Salen

i wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a lego harry potter before long.

demonknightinuyasha

Wait...That guy's really called Rich Earl?

vaterunser

Franchises it would make sense to provide a LEGacy: Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Spiderman

Chagrin

I simply cannot fathom the appeal of the Lego license - it's not like you are building things with virtual Lego blocks, it's just a horrible branded aesthetic.

LongDarkBlues

Also, one or two games a year in a series isn't milking a series?

Do we accept this judgement for EA as well?

(I'm just saying, is all...)

dirtybacon

@demonknightinuyasha:

I'm pretty sure their have been Harry Potter branded Lego games, altho we are talking pre-TT

TeldurUK

Well, I think we are somewhat restricted to licenses that Lego actually has. I know Harry Potter and Spiderman Lego sets were being produced at one point. (Still? No clue)

TheWP

Lego Grand Theft Auto. There's something for the kids to enjoy.

Actually, screw Lego, where is my Connex Star Wars?

dirtybacon

Lego Reservoir Dogs FTW!!!

psychicfriend

i love travellers tales. sonic 3d blast and sonic r probably shouldnt have been as good as i thought they were when i was a kid lol. but they did also make mickey mania, which i recently replayed and have to say is one of the best platform games out there.

but anyways.. lego flash or green lantern games would be cool, but batman is by far the coolest dc hero, so superhero wise, lego spiderman or x-men would be something id really be into. especially x-men. lastly, lego tiny toons, or lego looney tunes would be AWESOME.

I fail to see how Lego Caligula could be anything other than ACES.

Okay, how about Lego Salo then?

tossrStu

@OcelotSnake89:

We can only dream.

Anyways, I thought they were milking the franchise already, considering that all of the games are the same.

Zenanon

High standard? HIGH STANDARD? They've been making shovelware platformers since the dawn of bloody time.

HikariOblivion

Pulp Lego. Unlockable Legimp. Make it happen.

DARTH_TIGRIS

@TeldurUK:
Yes, there were, but as I understand it they are best forgotten.

Purple Dave

@drweazel:
LEGO Batman is due out the 23rd (finally!), and it's been hinted that they're working on another Indiana Jones game (likely to include Crystal Skull coverage) and another Star Wars game (Clone Wars? EU?), but a lot of people are hoping they'll dip into the classic LEGO themes, like Space (if you can't play as Blacktron I, that possibility is dead to me), Castle, and Pirates.

@blizzardjesus:
Brendan Powell Smith? On what grounds would you sue him? If he didn't use the LEGO logo anywhere on the book (or if he did it with permission), he's clean on that end. The book he's basing his work on is _LOOOOONG_ out of copyright, so he's good there as well (except, perhaps, in the Vatican City).

@Nirolak:
They don't have the Superman or general DC licenses. Just Batman.

@nick.soapdish:
What is it with everyone thinking Warner Bros. has control over the LEGO video game industry? Just because they own TT Games and DC Comics doesn't mean they write the checks that cover development of the LEGO games. They don't. There's some privately-owned company over in Denmark that does that because they bought the rights to produce construction-block-themed games for Batman/Star Wars/Indiana Jones when they bought the rights to make toys based off of them. _They_ decide what gets made and what doesn't.

@demonknightinuyasha:
I would. TLC seems to be divorcing itself from that license. The last movie only got _one_ set (and it was a third Hogwarts, which retailed for around $100). I've yet to see word of any sets being released to tie in with the next movie...though part of that might be that the movie release got pushed back before they were prepared to announce the set(s).

@TheWP:
While LotR might be up for grabs, and HP is likely still active, Spiderman is right out. They only had the Spiderman _movie_ license through Sony. Marvel then sold the Marvel license to a clone brand, and somehow it killed the LEGO deal before the duration of the license was reportedly supposed to expire.

@LongDarkBlues:
I just added you to my Friends list...so I could delete you from it. Some of us _enjoy_ our casual combat puzzle games (that and I have to see if I can figure out how to build the Dagobah motorcycle someday).

Purple Dave

I like a business guy who can say "take the piss" in the same sentence as "little kids".

Billkwando

I dont know about you dudes but im down for some Lego Tropic Thunder

Kuririn

@Purple Dave: Ughh... More Lego Indiana Jones? I hated the Indiana Jones one and the Crystal Skull sucked.
I think someone above mentioned Lego Harry Potter and I think that is the best guess on here.

drweazel

@spacecoffin2:

I totally agree with you man. These games are already getting the piss taken out of them.

Gingerbread0Man

@demonknightinuyasha:

there already is

adamr999

@adamr999:
Not a _good_ LEGO HP game. In fact, some of them sound like they barely qualify to be considered "games" at all.

LEGO Blade Runner

LEGO Tetris.

You know you want it.
