Here's an MMOG that your parents would approve of, especially if you're a 'tween. Two words: Lego Universe-it's about time. The Lego universe is already expansive and popular, ranging from mini-figures to vehicles, buildings to video games, and now is expanding into the MMO-verse. Lego is working on this game with developer NetDevil, as well as both kids and adults to make it a great experience for people of all ages.
Often it is asked why Lego hasn’t done Minecraft. After all, the formula fits. You put blocks on to other blocks to create something blocky and wonderful, fresh from your imagination. Surely that just screams Lego.
It seems that they tried with Lego Universe, but how do you make a kid-friendly Lego MMO when almost everybody seems intent on building penises?
Developed by The Lego Group, the app takes the form of an interactive comic book, complete with mini-games and virtual Lego build kits to be unlocked. The Antimatter Missions is broken up into five parts, with five short comics making up the bulk of the title.
