Working Donkey Kong game made of Legos

There’s nothing wrong with obsession, except when it leads to stalking some actress outside of her Beverly Hills mansion every night.  Otherwise, though, obsession channeled in the right direction can lead to things like a working version of the arcade classic .  Take that Calvin Klein.

Video of the day: Lego Legend of Zelda adventure

This site has featured Zelda landscapes created from Legos in the past. This site has featured CG animated Zelda video adventures in the past. Now, finally, comes the Legend of Zelda adventure video. Yes, this is stop motion. Yes, this is crudely done. And yes, it is pretty despite its flaws. One question left, though. When will all the video game madness end?

Video of the day: Lego Indiana Jones trailer

How do you improve upon one of the best adventure film series of all-time? With Legos, of course! That’s just what this May’s Lego Indiana Jones hopes to do. This new game trailer shows plenty of the wit and charm previously expressed in the titles. The game’s graphics are quite pleasant and the two natives showcased should perhaps get their own spin off game. The best part? Is that a homage, which itself was an homage?

Have Legos been on the minds of gamers a lot lately? Apparently, but this one looks almost like a real play set you would buy off a store shelf. Are you listening, ? There are a ton of nerds who would snap up such a line of products. One can only imagine the horror, though, of getting up in the middle of the night to accidentally step on a tiny, jagged Kirby.

While fans of the series wait patiently for the newest film in the series, LucasFilm is attempting to quench your thirst with a new Special Edition of all three previous films along with a neat surprise.

Scheduled for a May 13 release date, the special edition will feature restored and remastered versions of Indy’s previous hoorahs and exclusive behind the scenes extras. Considering there is a large majority of fans who already have the special edition that was released in 2003, you’re probably wondering what is so great about this one. (more…)

Video of the day: Lego Star Fox

No, this isn’t the video you are hoping it is. hasn’t yet given the treatment (though just about every other game is getting it). However, this visualization of the original game using only Legos is pretty remarkable all the same. Note that the arwing doesn’t move, but the level around it. It’s a nice touch for fans of the classic game series.

LEGO Halo: fact or fiction?

Everyone loves LEGOs, and with the swell of based games in the past few years, and the upcoming Batman and titles, it seems a ripe time to take advantage of everyone’s favorite colored blocks.

In Electronic Gaming Monthly’s April edition they showed an exclusive first look at an upcoming game featuring Master Chief blasting at Elite’s as he runs down a very familiar looking corridor. With the success of the recent games it would make sense for them to take advantage of the success of both franchises. However, there is some speculation that this is all just an elaborate April Fool’s Day joke by the staff at EGM.

Sadly, it seems that it is actually a clever prank thought up by Michael Donahoe over at EGM. But for every bit of fiction there is a smidgeon of truth and perhaps Microsoft will run with this unique idea and cash in on the success of this expanding franchise.
