This week's "Deals with Gold" has a little added bonus: a Warner Bros Publisher sale. Until Monday, September 19, you can pick up the most recent LEGO releases, including LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, at a discounted price if you've got an Xbox Live Gold membership.
The LEGO series has become a staple element of many Co-Optimus reader's gaming diet, with their hours of 2 player local co-op entertainment. However, until now we have been familiar with the properties the games are based on. Thankfully, the same can probably be said of The LEGO Movie Videogame, the film just made over $69 million in its first weekend!
After what feels like months of hiatus...oh wait - it really has been month - the Co-Op Release Alerts are back. We actually have a tangible co-op game releasing this week. It's a new year's miracle. Hold on to your butts.
I said LEGO were crazy to produce a toy made out of blocks. I said they were mad if they thought a computer game of these blocks would work. In the end, they drove me to insanity with The LEGO Movie Videogame; a game, of a film, about a bunch of blocks. I will sooth my troubled mind with some new screenshots.
The LEGO games have built their success on the intellectual property of others, from Harry Potter to The Lord of the Rings and back again. About time they cut out the middle man and made a game from something they created. The LEGO Movie Videogame is that something, but wait; the new trailer has characters from other franchises!
