I'm not sure which aspect of these Lego games angers me more, the fact that kids want to play them or that they are even in production at all. Maybe kids could actually play with Legos instead of simply playing a video game featuring Legos. It makes as much sense to me as Rubik's Cube videogame or a virtual sandcastle building game. I just don't understand it. And when there are toys and trends like these that I cant understand, it make me feel as old as my balls look. That in turn gets me thinking about how little I've done with my life and how much time I've wasted watching Law and Order reruns.
Furthermore, I just don't see how adding Legos to a regular game makes it any more fun. Lego Rock Band? Lego Indiana Jones? Lego Batman? Lego Requiem for a Dream? Lego Brokeback Mountain ? Honestly, I'd rather play with a Hess Truck or a Ferbie. I'd rather play The Real Housewives version of Monopoly. I'd rather play a game of chess. I actually can't even think of a type of game that would be worse, other than some sort of virtual one night stand with me. That is unless they came out with a Lego virtual one night stand with me. Hurry, press X to make him go soft and Y to make him cry! Uh oh, the girl is telling all her friends. Game Over. Quick, someone get my agent on the phone.
Honorable Mention: That my mother wouldn't let me play with Creepy Crawlers: I remember being 6 years old begging my mother for Creepy cCrawlers and her always refusing to buy them for me. Even after, in my most coherent argument to this day, I tried to explain to her that an Easy-Bake Oven, designed for 5-year-old girls, was essentially the same thing. 10 months after that, I burned down my neighbors house and we never spoke of it again. But she still wouldn't buy me Coco Crispies, which was total bullshit
