Token Female Gamer

Star Wars and Indiana Jones are integral parts of my childhood and have helped mold me into the person I am today. Despite the strong early years attachment I have to them, they managed to maintain those awe filled memories with sappy nostalgia instead of shattering them into bitter shards of disbelief. (Must be magic!)

Delving into such a precious license can be daunting, as there is a lot of emotional history attached to it.

Lego Indiana Jones masterfully manages to honor the movies and bring some freshness to the story without squashing any nostalgic memory I have.

One of the main reasons that I started with the Lego Star Wars review was to use it as a baseline. Fundamentally, Lego Batman is the same game. Why rehash all their similarities then?

Legos are quite the event at our house. For my husband it’s the hobby of choice, second only to computer games. Put Star Wars and Lego together, you get a veritable orgy of giddy joy.

Most of the lego-gasm results now decorate our house, the easiest (and safest) place to keep them being the top of shelves. Sharing the Lego love seemed like a good follow-up the Lego Star Wars Game Review.

It might be apparent that all of the sets we have are old school Star Wars only. The banning of episode 1-3 runs even to Lego. Although its not something I am going to argue with, since we are seriously running out of display room. In fact my husband has relegated the unfinished (super huge) Millennium Falcon set to the garage, because we have no place to put it.

I’m limiting the pictures to Star Wars sets only (and not even all of them!) Maybe at this winter I can convince my husband to set up the Lego trains.

Yeah we love Legos here!

ps. Ignore the dust!

The original Lego Star Wars came out over four years ago. It was such a success, loved by critics and fans alike, that it spawned a bevy of similar games based on a variety of Lego licenses.

I never got to play the Original game. Its successors on the other hand, have gotten quite a workout.
