Who doesn't like a good LEGO game? Bad people, that's who. Xbox 360 Games on Demand has seven different LEGO games on sale for 50% off today and today only. Each one supports two player co-op. They're great for the family. You can see the full list after the break.
If our gut is correct, we believe that Warner Bros. will more than likely release a widely-expected version of LEGO The Lord of the Rings: The Videogame. The title has been hinted at being on its way, according to the packaging for the new line of LEGO Lord of the Rings toys, based off of the three Peter Jackson movies inspired by the books.
GameInformer has a soft spot for Indiana Jones, apparently. Well, really, though - who doesn't? The communist-slugging professor with a knack for nearly getting killed on motorcycles possesses a charm that seldom fiction heroes have anymore.
Traveler's Tales' has released a demo for LEGO Indiana Jones: The Adventure Continues a month after it's release. Better late than never? Well, we certainly hope so.
What may be lost amongst a solid fall season of games is the family friendly title LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure continues. Out now for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, and PC - the game supports two player local cooperative play through the whole adventure with drop-in and drop-out play.
Another trailer for LEGO Indiana Jones 2 The Adventure Continues has been released. If you were like me, and guessing that the sequel would be based solely on the most recent Indy film, well, you'd be wrong. All new levels based on unused scenes from the original Indy trilogy will be included. Of course, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull levels are appearing in LEGO form for the first time. The trailer gives us good looks at new heroes and vehicles, plus the level editor. Gotta love the tagline: "Where there's a whip, there's a way." (Insert wildly inappropriate joke here.)
Indiana Jones is one of my all-time favorite action and adventure franchises, and I am not alone in that sentiment. Unfortunately, even the greatest sagas have some lame chapters. Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings embraces the Nintendo Wii's motion controls and attempts to create an enjoyable niche for Indy fans. Does it succeed as a unique and fun adventure title deserving of the titular character, or does it fall in as a lame chapter to possibly the most famous fedora-donning hero ever?
This month in our Beyond Co-Op Reviews we take a look at quite a few solid titles. We compare the open worlds of Prototype against inFAMOUS; we look at what happens when Plants and Zombies mix. We also check out Knights in the Nightmare, Bionic Commando and the latest Indiana Jones title. ...
Get ready to get your co-op on in Indiana Jones And The Staff Of Kings! 2 player local co-op, a co-op fit for kings - or Indiana Jones fans. Co-op specific quests featuring Indie and dad, Henry Jones Sr. You're bound to have a blast playing this one with a friend, check out the co-op preview trailer if you don't believe me!
You may recall a story which we ran earlier this year, in which we predicted a Lego game based on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Well, call us Nostradamus, because we are getting exactly that later this year, and it's coming to pretty much every system.
"Being a Wii owner and an Indiana Jones fan, I am buying Staff of Kings. But I'm not proud of it."
Don't take this post's title the wrong way: I've never viewed Nintendo Wii and DS owners as "casual gamers". To the contrary -- anyone dedicated enough to stand by these consoles while third-party publishers ignore them over and over again is a true gamer in my book.
