Behind the scenes video peeks at Lego Universe
Here's something interesting. It's a LEGO Universe behind the scenes look video (mouthful!) in which we get to see some sneak peek stuff concerning the upcoming title that lets players build their own world, which is likely full of genitals. Oh, we also get to gawk at a really cool building full of more LEGO than half of America sees in a few years. We really aren't sure how anyone at NetDevil or LEGO gets anything done with all those blocks just begging to be put together. We'd be halfway done creating our LEGO-dition of Han Solo frozen in Carbonite after our first day or two.It didn't help our jaw-to-floor ratio when the video also informed that within LEGO Universe, we can expect to experience pirates, ninjas and robots in LEGO form. It's a nerd trifecta +1! We're not sure whether we want this MMO to succeed or fail. Success means the loss of our entire lives for an undisclosed amount of time and failure -- something we never really wish upon a developer -- means keeping our families, friends and jobs. You can check out the video for yourself below below the cut.
Star Wars Battlefront pre-order includes Carbonite case
We love the look of Carbonite. Star Wars geeks will be pleased to see that GameStop's pre-order for the upcoming PSP-exclusive Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron is a Han Solo Carbonite PSP case. Yes, it looks cool, but it has us wondering one thing: will this work on both the old PSP-1000 and the new PSP-2000? It looks like upcoming accessories are going to be a little bit trickier to purchase.
Carbonite Freeze Gun joins new weapons in Renegade Squadron
Han Solo better watch out! The upcoming Star Wars Battlefront game has a number of brand new weapons, one of them being the awesome new Carbonite Freeze Gun. The weapon will stop any character, no matter how fast, dead in its tracks. In addition, there's a new, mean rifle called the Orbital Strike. On the IGN blog for the game, Mike reveals that his favorite strategy for the game involves using the new weapons in tandem: "My personal favourite tactic is to freeze someone, then tag them with an Orbital Strike beacon -- the victim can see the strike building up, but is powerless to evade it. It's a bit tricky to pull off, so it's not the most efficient tactic, but it sure is satisfying! "There's a number of other weapons to check out. In fact, all of the weapons are showcased on his blog entry. (Spoiler alert?)
