"How many of us didn't grow up staring at Star Wars or Indiana Jones, frantically biting our nails every time the hero would escape giant rolling boulders, snakes or lightsabers? In a time where blockbusters and videogames alike used the visual aspect as a tool and not a purpose, entire generations of urban middle-class kids would grab their footballs and spread out to their homes to see re-runs of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg's classical adventures. Whether it's the offsprings of the 70s or the 90s, few are those who missed the proverbial narrations of the two consumer cinema magnates.
Meanwhile, those privileged westerners and the privileged out of the unprivileged easterners know the acute addiction caused by the Lego drug. A simple concept, that exploits the "engineering" side out of the male gene, cubes of various shapes and sizes seized, without a doubt, a large part of everybody lucky enough to get this product's childhoods. From castles to spaceships, themes are varied as they were wacky, Lego provided a cure for most of the universal child's small obsessions.
Even so, the only common denominator these two experiences have is popularity. I was especially curious to see what the brits down at Traveller's Tales did, first with Lego: Star Wars and then with Lego: Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures. Their attempt to combine two franchises as popular as these was an extremely risky endeavor, no doubt about that, even more so considering that a would-be failure would have attracted both the booing of Star Wars and/or Indiana Jones fans as well as Lego maniacs."
Sure, they may be made for a child audience, but TT Games' Lego games are still incredibly fun for any age! Here's our ranking of the very best.
I dislike the LEGO games after the first one I played. They are just cut and paste with a new skin- My son liked them so we had a few over the years .Star Wars, Lord of the Rings , Batman but after the first it just felt like an extension of the first game on an endless loop
They are ok games, but every single one of them are basically the same. I enjoyed Lego Star Wars 1 and 2 and then the complete collection, but every other one after that has just been the same thing and it got a little dull.
had a lot more fun with Lego Marvel Superheroes than any other lego game.
Might be partly due to the fact there wasn't a lot else to play on my new PS4 when it came out

Star Wars video games are great, but they aren’t the only place that your favorite Star Wars characters show up! You might be surprised to find out that you can play as Yoda, Darth Maul, Han Solo, Darth Vader, and Jango Fett in other video games.
I really liked using Vader and Starkiller in Soulcaliber. A full-blown Star Wars fighting game could potentially be fantastic.
Well. there is the good ol' game master of teras kasi:

I still have that game back in the closet. I liked it as a kid, but man it has some issues.
Secret Weapons over Normandy was new to me. That game must also be so old that it could run on a smart phone
Man I love Darth maul in Tony hawk 3!! And Man do I miss good Tony hawk games they should just remake one two and 3 all in one deal I would buy it in a heart beat.
