Lego Batman for Sony PSP Review

Topic:

GamePyre published a review of the Lego Batman video game for the Sony PSP. Lego Batman is available on all platforms. The PSP Lego Batman sells for $27.99 on Amazon.com.
Quote from the review: "If you have children odds are that the only reason you’re reading this review is to see if the game is appropriate for your youngsters. Each parent has their own style of parenting, so I hope that the review was helpful enough into helping you make the decision about this game. On the same note, if you are looking at this review because your children won't stop bugging you about Lego Batman you may want to really consider the long run ramifications of purchasing this game for your little ones. Depending on how young they are they might do more crying over not being able to do well in the game compared to the crying they do by not having the game. Read more

LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures Demo Launches

Topic:

I admit that I never understood the allure of LEGO video games. I am a big fan of LEGOS and had tons of the little blocks as a kid and loved the films the LEGO games have been based on but a combination of the two seems odd.

The demo for Windows PC is the only playable demo available on any platform. The full game will be rated E10+ and will be available on June 3rd for $29.99. Read more

Google Founders built Server Casing with LEGO Bricks

Topic:

If you have been on Google today you have seen the LEGO styled logo celebrating the 50th birthday of the LEGO brick we reported about earlier. Well, apparently there is actually a closer connection between Google and LEGO.

Google co-founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, used LEGO bricks as the external low-cost and expandable casing for 10 4GB (that is sure 10 years ago, but did they really just have 4GB HDD to play with?, maybe this is a typo in the press-release) hard disks when they were busy developing the Google search engine.

Q-BA-MAZE a Fusion of Lego and Pachinko

Q-BA-MAZE was invented by architectural designer Andrew Comfort, with inspiration from architectural principals and his grandfather's wooden marble maze. For me the Q-BA-MAZE toy combines the Japanese time burning game Pachinko with Lego building blocks.

With Q-BA-MAZE you can build visually interesting buildings and then have a steel ball race through them from top to bottom. Read more

Robosapien RS Media With Lego Mindstorm NXT Brain

Topic:

The upcoming Robosapien RS Media from WowWee is apparently enhancable with a Lego Mindstorm NXT module.

The Lego NXT module fits onto the RS Media robot as backpack. With Lego Mindstorm NXT you have of course much greater control on what your Robosapien can do. This is a very smart move by WowWee.

I have the original Robosapien, which looks already pretty 'stupid' against the new Robosapien RS Media, which can now have two brains. Read more
