Holy pixel glory, Batman! Following the popular & successful LEGO Star Wars Games, TT games has announced LEGO Batman.
I enjoyed playing LEGO Star Wars on the XBox with my nephew. What a concept it was! A non-split screen two-player XBox game, the ability to take control and drag him the right way to help and invulnerability. LEGO and Star Wars in one. Who can beat that concept? That it was also done very well made a game to be played over and over. LEGO Star WarsII was disappointing that it was quite a bit more difficult than the first, but still a bunch of fun.
Now, we we're going to have Gotham City in LEGO bricks. The press release gave us a little peek at what the game will be like. Very similar to the LEGO Star Wars concept - play as Batman or Robin or play together, defeat villains and even take control of them.
What next? LEGO Indiana Jones? :D I think that would be sweet.
At the same time as I received the Batman announcement, I also found out that Warner Brothers will be acquiring TT Games. Hmm... large "traditional" entertainment companies acquiring Game companies. Disney acquires Club Penguin and just released Pirates of the Caribbean Online. Will this be good for the industry? Only time will tell.
