The Lego Movie: The Video Game: The Trailer

Here's a trailer for the video game based on the Lego Movie. It looks pretty cool, I'll probably pick it up for my son after we go and see the movie.

While we're here lets talk Lego Video Games. I have 4 at home, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4, Lego Batman 2 and Lego Marvel Superheroes. Lego Star Wars is the oldest but every game that has come after it has actually gotten a bit worse, in my opinion. Lego Harry Potter has too little action and a huge emphasis on puzzles. Lego Batman 2 relies too much on a terrible Grand Theft Auto rip off style of play, with some infuriating controls to boot. Lego Marvel Superheroes while the prettiest of the bunch has the same awful GTA rip off set up, with some of the worst menu navigation I've ever seen. For example in Lego Marvel Superheroes when you're walking around Manhattan and you come to a level you've already beat if you walk into it you immediately go to Story Mode. If you want to replay a level on Free-Play mode you have to select if from the map. It's just frustrating to play, not to mention it crashes ALL THE TIME.

Seriously it's 2013, there's no excuse for a Xbox 360 game to crash every other time you play it. I'm looking your way Battlefield 4.
