So I should note for the official record that I am not a big video game person. For the most part I find them frustrating and I am not very good at shoot 'em up, action-packed games. However, since my sister got a Wii for Christmas, I have been learning just how addicting video games can be. That is to say, I find that I can lose hours watching little Lego characters run around and break other Legos apart.
First there was Lego Star Wars which could be incredibly frustrating at times but who can possibly resist little Lego C3PO hopping around on one leg or little bounding Lego Ewoks? Little Lego Princess Leia's ability to repeatedly slap Lego Han Solo is highly entertaining. Now there is Lego Indiana Jones which is a little more frustrating than Lego Star Wars (it's a lot easier to blow up enemies with a light saber than crack them with a whip) but Indiana Jones has a feature sorely missing from Star Wars. The home base for Indiana Jones is his college which boasts a delightful courtyard. In that courtyard you can smash benches and plants for money or you can pick up a bush, place it over your head and creep around on your tippy-toes from room to room. The sight of the little Lego feet sticking out of the bush and making their delicate way around the college could keep me amused for hours. Three hours on Friday night to be exact. Those Legos are scarily addicting.
