Playing a game like that is like snuggling under the covers on a chilly Sunday morning and just being lazy. There are times when I’m looking for something comfortable and familiar. Call me boring or a pathetic fan girl, but I think this is a good thing.

If you like the Atelier Iris series and Ar Tornelico, you’ll like Mana Khemia. However, there are an immense number of ways that this could fail miserably, so fingers crossed that this will not go down like Hellgate did.ĭeveloped by Gust and published in the US by NIS America, Mana Khemia is a nice diversion. If they do this right, it could be the greatest thing since Freebird was written. Building your own vehicles and houses, making yourselves immense weapons from scratch. Freaking pirates and ninjas and lego spacemen all fighting and occupying the same world. While looking online for what Lego themed games were coming out soon, I stumbled across Lego Universe, an MMO that in my opinion has the greatest possibilities for any game known to man. We can only hope that they keep it up in the upcoming games, and that novelty won’t be lost once we get there. It’s incredibly cheerful and violent at the same time. I don’t know if it’s the style, the game play, or the humor that makes me want to play these games, but I know it has something to do with seeing your enemy blow into pieces when you shoot it with a blaster.

Who would have thought that there would be a proverbial renaissance of Lego video games, starting with Star Wars, and moving on the Indiana Jones and Batman? I don’t know about you, but I’d piss myself with glee if I could see one lego man tearing out the heart of another over a pit of lava. If you don’t remember any of them before Lego Star Wars, it’s because most of them crashed and burned (Lego Racer, anyone?). The early days of Legos in the Gaming world were sketchy at best.

I’m a grown man now, and I still find myself getting giddy over the upcoming Lego themed games. Hours of my childhood were spent building complex structures out of plastic blocks using only my mind and a strangely intuitive booklet of pictorial instructions.
