LEGO The Hobbit Video Game Trailer

Seemingly out of nowhere, a LEGO The Hobbit video game trailer has been released. This should not only be a fun game, but a great addition to the LEGO LOTR video game.

Am I the only one that didn't see this coming? Was there a memo that I missed? Or is everyone as surprised as me?

When will the game be available, and will it include scenes from There And Back Again in the final game? Only time will tell. For now, just enjoy this little trailer.

LEGO Games Legends of Chima and Super Heroes

We'll be seeing two new LEGO Games later this year. 50003 LEGO Games Batman, and 50006 LEGO Games Legends of Chima.

Both should be available in the summer.

LEGO Games LOTR Battle of Helm's Deep

LEGO Games will be releasing their first Lord of the Rings game. I can't figure out how to play by looking at the picture, but it looks as though the Uruk-hai need to get through the Deeping Wall to the Hornburg (duh). Not having played any of the LEGO Games myself, I can't see any similarities between this and other games. But with at least 11 microfigures, I just might have to pick up my first one.

50011 LEGO Lord of the Rings Battle of Helm's Deep.
Ages 7+. 338 pieces. Estimated price: $39.99.
Available in August.

Marvel Super Heroes Video Game Announced

Imagine playing as the LEGO Hulk, running around a video game world smashing everything(and everyone) in sight! I'm sure most of you have wanted to do this very badly, I know I have. But want no more! Soon you will be able to play as the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, and many other Marvel characters on LEGO's newest video game.
Though I don't usually get the LEGO games (unless they are extremely awesome), I will be getting this one as soon as I can.
Official press release below.

Marvel super heroes are assembling for an action-packed, brick-smashing good time! Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games, The LEGO Group and Marvel Entertainment announced today that “LEGO Marvel Super Heroes” will be available beginning Fall 2013 for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, the Wii U system and Windows PC, as well as the Nintendo DS handheld system, Nintendo 3DS handheld system and PlayStation Vita handheld entertainment system. “LEGO Marvel Super Heroes” is the first instalment in the highly successful LEGO videogame franchise to feature famous Marvel characters.

“LEGO Marvel Super Heroes,” coming Fall 2013

“LEGO Marvel Super Heroes” complements the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes construction toy collection, which brings the characters, vehicles and action of Marvel’s renowned universe to the world of LEGO build-and-play adventure. There are currently eight iconic scenes from the X-Men, Iron Man and Spider-Man franchises available and more construction sets tied to the new “Iron Man 3″ feature film will launch later this spring.

“LEGO Marvel Super Heroes” offers an original storyline in which Nick Fury calls upon Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man, Wolverine and other heroes spanning the Marvel Universe to save Earth from such threats as the vengeance of Loki and the hunger of Galactus, Devourer of the Worlds. LEGO and Marvel fans will enjoy classic LEGO videogame adventure and humor, while playing as their favorite Marvel characters.

“We’re very excited to bring a myriad of classic Marvel characters to life in LEGO form for some fun, family-friendly gameplay in ‘LEGO Marvel Super Heroes,’” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games Publishing. “Players will brave the ultimate mission to save the world as they explore famous landmarks in LEGO New York and take the adventure beyond Earth to iconic locations in the Marvel Universe.”

“Fans of both LEGO and Marvel have wanted this game for years, and we’re addressing that demand with more Marvel Universe characters than ever in a console game,” said TQ Jefferson, Vice President, Games Production, Marvel Entertainment. “If you’re a fan of Spider-Man, the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy or scores of other Marvel characters, this is the game for you.”

In “LEGO Marvel Super Heroes,” players will unlock more than 100 characters from across the Marvel Universe, including fan favorites like Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine, Captain America, the Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Deadpool, Loki and Galactus!

Sound exciting? Wicked exciting! The thing making me most happy now will be to see Cap's awesome shield-smashing abilities. And Spidey's web-flying from building to building.

Coming Fall 2013 after the release of Iron Man 3 and just before the release of Thor: The Dark World.
This will be a game you won't want to miss!

The Lord of the Rings: The Video Game 3DS Gameplay Footage

Some new LEGO The Lord of the Rings gameplay footage has come up from Past to Present Online. We get an in-depth look at Weathertop and the battle with the Nagúl. I had no idea there was a big bird tormenting the Hobbits while Aragorn slept. Wait a second, Aragorn slept? I thought he was on watch. Nope, he wasn't.
That's just a bit of the humor coming from LEGO's newest video game. Watch the gameplay video and see what's to come.
This game will be available November 13th. Pre-order from GameStop to get the Second Age Elrond.

New LEGO The Lord of the Rings Video Game Trailer

The newest trailer for the LEGO The Lord of the Rings Video Game is out. This one introduces the Fellowship, shows us some awesome effects, and brings us into the realm of The Lord of the Rings like never before (For LEGO anyway).

The Lord of the Rings Pre-order Elrond Bonus

Amazon.de has a LEGO Lord of the Rings Elrond free with any purchase of The Lord of the Rings Video Game. No Idea when this will be available in the US. But you could pick one up on Ebay for a decent price. (Maybe)

This dude looks smashing! I hope he'll be available in a later set. Hadhafang looks like two different new pieces. And they'll allow for some great weapons.

LEGO The Hobbit Board Game

We never even got any early rumors about this. But who cares! We have a professional image now! Toys R Us has this item up for pre-order. Release is in late September. You can still take advantage of the 20% off everything, so hurry up and place your order as the sale takes over $10 off TRU price!

LEGO The Lord Of The Rings Video Game Trailer

As of now, all arguments have subsided over whether we would get a LEGO LOTR video game. In the back of the set instruction manuals there was a poster advertising it. Some still had doubts. But doubt no more! The LEGO The Lord Of The Rings video game trailer is officially out! Of course, one of the coolest parts is that the characters now have voices. Now it's time for some "You shall not pass!".

Check out this epic trailer. The graphics look really good. I am so excited about this one. LEGO video games have become pretty lame over the past few years, but this one looks like it will be one of the best.
Leave a comment telling me what you think about it.

LEGO Kingdoms Chess Set

It has been quite a while since we've seen a chess set. But now, without any warning, LEGO has released one on Shop@Home. 

The LEGO Kingdoms Chess Set contains 328 pieces, 32 minifigures, and costs $49.99. A good deal considering the older chess sets cost the same amount when they only contained minifigs and a board, while this one contains a board holder.

I personally think this may have been a bad idea. LEGO games have never really been that popular in the first place, and to make one based on a theme that is no longer making sets, to me, seems like a mistake. But it's The LEGO Group's decision.
