January 1st, 2008Review: Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords

Review: LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga
December 30th, 2007
LEGO Star Wars is a concept that I probably laughed at the first time I heard about it. Fortunately, however, I gave it a chance when LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy was released on the 360.
LEGO Star Wars: TCS is essentially a compilation of the two previous releases of the game, containing both trilogies on one disc. However, Traveler’s Tales, the developers of the LEGO Star Wars games, didn’t just copy and paste both games together. They updated some aspects of the gameplay in the first trilogy to match that of the second. They also added some new missions, a handful of characters and completely changed the achievements (for the better).
