Ben-DutkaNever underestimate the popularity of those LEGO-based titles by Traveller's Tales.
Most all these games in the ongoing series have been solid and great fun for two friends. However, you might assume they'll say goodbye to the "Star Wars" angle after several successful installments; maybe they'd move on to another big movie franchise. But instead, according to Joystiq , TT Games will bring Star Wars III: The Clone Wars to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PSP, and DS this autumn. It's based on the Cartoon Network animated show of the same name and we can expect "brand new modes, giving players unique, head-to-head combat," plus an "expanded level editor." We're intrigued by that "head-to-head" bit; it seems to be a definite departure from the cooperative partner-based multiplayer mode in past titles. To add even more depth will be the inclusion of new tactics, such as Squad Command, Grapple Tie-Ups, and various Lightsaber techniques. There's no doubt that there's an overabundance of Star Wars fans and these days, the original fans are passing that fascination along to their kids. Hence, these LEGO games have an audience.
Anybody have any other ideas for LEGO-based games? What else can they LEGO-fy? Heck, they've already done it to Rock Band ; what else could they do? Maybe the options are endless…

LEGO Back To The Future…It is a trilogy and it has vehicles…it would be perfect.

Great Scot!
They should do "Back to the Past"…
Q!
"i am home"
Lego SG-1
Lego Space 1999
Lego Star Trek
Lego Dr. Who
Lego Lethal Weapon
Lego Harry Potter
Lego Avatar – you *KNOW* this will happen – right?
…
Lego Harry Potter year 1-4 is coming out in the next couple if months already.
LEGO Avatar as in the new movie, or Avatar as in Avatar the Last Airbender? I would consider buying either of those…
Personally, I'd prefer Avatar the last air bender, but I'm sure it would be the other and there would be lots of blue blocks…
LoOoOoOoOoOoOoL The Highlander and Kowhoho!!!!!
Q!
"i am home"

…and Nintendo will bring out LeGo UnIvErSe …encompassing all the lego games…
Q!
"i am home"
Sorry to completely derail this topic, but this needs to be said: They must continue the Airbender Series. Hopefully the movie will help it (don't screw it up, M. Night!).
I would like to see Star Trek go Lego 😀
These Lego games are awesome keep them coming TT.
Lego Harry Potter is a good idea, But Star Wars…. Again! hmmm nope, i wont be getting it. Is still think they should to a Spielberg compliation.
i think it's great that TT keeps on making these lego games because my 7 year old brother loves them. but sometimes when i'm playing some other game, he comes in begging to play lego star wars so obviously he needs a ps3 in his room. i've already let him borrow the ps2 because of lego batman but i guess he's not satisfied with the last generation console haha.
I'm surprised that they don't branch out wit some of their own lego brands. They've done a Bionix Movie, why not video games, or Lego Racing. Can you imagine racing Lego cars with the Physics of a Burnout game thrown in? Half the fun would be cracking up the cars.

Thats a nice idea, i can just imagine these cars bursting into Lego blocks 😀
holy… you're awesome chinook.
they've already done that.
Did they? There you go, I guess I'm late to the party again..lol
Looked into it, there is already a lego racers one and two for the PS2, but I don't see them having done anything for the PS3. A revamp with better graphics and physics might be a good thing. You could even do certain lego characters for different systems. Lego Mario Kart (Wii) Lego Crash Bandicoot(PS3) and Lego..umm..Halo racing?(360..go lego warthogs..lol)
I think it would be hilarious to see little lego men ejected from their cars on impact and fly to pieces.
Oh man this idea keeps growing in my head.. Let's say you hit another player and their car flies to pieces as well as yours, to continue the race you have to rebuild your car first with the pieces lying around. In order to rebuild you can steal pieces from your opponents car. By the time you finish the race your car looks nothing like when you started.
Throw some online play in with that add some burnout, motorstorm and Lego and voila a game for all ages!
And while were at it, why not make it a release title for the new "ARC" controllers..lol
If you want to do a spin off of movies, there's always the Matrix lego, but since I'm going on about racers, why not a fast and furious lego, can anyone imagine Vin Diesel as a lego character?
Or a Bourne trilogy lego? Sorry I just keep getting more and more ideas…lol, and none of them are any good.

Isn't it Star Wars II: The Clone Wars?? Because Star Wars III is Revenge of the Sith
It takes place between episodes II and III, so it's actually Episode II 1/2.
_LEGO_ star wars III
not
lego STAR WARS III.
After LEGO Indiana Jones and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga…I'm pretty much LEGO'd out.
It was fun while it lasted, but they should stop.
If I were to buy this, it would most likely be Wii purchase for me.
Speaking of the Wii, loving Tatsunoko vs Capcom. Best game Capcom has made this gen.
LEGO God of War, maybe?
These lego games are actually quite fun. I havnt played a full game yet but played some demos and they are quite amusing.
I already bought Lego Star Wars CS for PS3 when it came out. I loved it, but I don't think I'll be getting another one…

These Lego games are good but they'll certainly benefit from new features, some online and for the love of gaming, give us trophies!
Oh, and give us CH1N00K's Lego Burnout!
Thought of another one..lol. Think of how many Lego sets have come out ever since lego was invented. There were the building blocks, then space sets, race sets, construction sets, etc. Now take all those sets that Lego created, digitize them and create one giant LEGO MMORPG or Sims.
Think about it. Literally build your own towns or cities piece by piece, They can add expansion packs whenever they want to bring in different LEGO worlds. It could be like Word of Warcraft lego-sized. Lego quests to find the missing piece…
And to insure that everyone is not just playing lego on their favourite console, They could have quests that will give you discount redeem codes to go buy the real LEGO on store shelves. Anyone remember LegoLand as a kid? Now people can rebuild their own lego world both online and in their homes.
Throw in some prizes for best recreation of their online city and you've got something that kids and parents can do together. And obviously whoever spends the most time and money on LEGO products will have the best chance of winning. ;p

If they come out with a Lego Sims I'm going to hold you personally responsible for that atrocity!
With all the castle and dragon Lego sets that have been around a good RPG would be quite possible. I'd even take MMORPG if you must.
i think a lego jurassic park would be a good one if you wanted to go the spielberg route. adventure and cars plus dinosaurs.

I actually think the Clone Wars series is pretty good.
But the last game they made based off the series, was god awful. I'm pretty sure this will have to be better. I don't think it could possibly be any worse.
I want a Lego Block Sackboy 🙂
I should have seen this coming. I enjoy these LEGO games so I'm ok with it.
@Ch1N00k, a Lego mmo is already in the works they said. Its basically gonna be Lego Sims, you build your house, your character, yatta ya. Anywaysn I'm still banking on these Legos: Lego X-Men, Lego Justice League(they did batman already, JL shouldn't be a problem) and the most anticipated of them all……LEGO COOKING MA….I kid I kid XD. But Lego STREETFIGHTER! HADUKEN!!! *blue block piece goes shooting out*
Lego Modern Warfare 2
Ok, easy. I'm just joking.
How about Lego Assassin's Creed? 😉
I'd buy it.
I know this is the wrong area to post this, but I just wanted to inform everyone of more news regarding FF remakes. This info was pulled right from the interview with SE over on the PS blog:
The God of War HD remake for the PS3 has been very popular in the US and people in Europe are very much looking forward to it. Do you have any interest in creating an HD remake of a PS1 or PS2 Final Fantasy game?
We don’t know the details about the HD remake of God of War. If it’s just a case of attaining high resolution graphics, only, then that wouldn’t be that difficult, but if we were to achieve the same graphical standard as in XIII with a PS1 title, then that would be a huge, huge task. Almost unrealistic. Even with a PS2 title it would be difficult. In the case of God of War, there weren’t really that many characters in the game — the main character and some monsters, maybe ten people or so. That would not be unachievable. As with Final Fantasy titles in the past, like on PS1, even just the main characters amount to around 10 people. Then you have all the NPCs, you’re probably looking at about 200 characters total. All with individual textures for the skin, plus costumes, facial features and everything. That would be a really tricky job.

Why not Lord of the Rings? Or Spiderman? Justice League would also be a good choice.
this is really, really, really sad but the only reason why i like the lego series game is because they support split screen co-op.
there should be a law stating every single game has to support split screen co-op and use the tech that lego Indiana Jones 2 uses.
you know how if you and your mate are close its 1 screen but if you separate too far away it splits into 2.
GENIUS!
