Comic-Con Shows Lego Star Wars, X-Men Games

Thanks to IGN PS2 for its first look at the unlikely double-licensed Lego Star Wars videogame, which is, as it sounds, "a Star Wars game based on the LEGO license." Apparently, the Traveller's Tales-developed multi-platform title, due out in 2005, "recounts the events of the first three episodes in the Star Wars trilogy -- The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and of course, Revenge of the Sith" with Lego-based visuals, and 1UP.com has a few more details on the game, which "mixes and matches characters and vehicles from all three movies in the ongoing prequel trilogy -- Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn from Episode I are the main characters, but it's possible to unlock many more characters from either side of the force and drop them into free-flowing action sequences." IGN PS2 also has hands-on Comic-Con impressions of X-Men Legends, the Raven-created squad-based console RPG with "4-player co-op... [and a] mixture of classic beat 'em up controls and RPG ideals."

At the Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con
CBG: Someone has mixed an "Amazing Spiderman" in with the "Peter Parker - The Spectacular Spiderman" series. This will not stand.
Woman: Pardon me, but I wish to tender a serious cash offer for this stack of water damaged Little Lulus.
CBG: Huh, "A" that is not water, it is Diet Mr. Pib, and "B" I... (CBG turns to look at the woman) Ohh... Err... Tell me, how do you feel about 45 year old virgins who still live with their parents?
Woman: Comb the Sweet Tarts out of your beard and you're on.
CBG: Don't try to change me baby.

This whole "secondary character" stuff in Lego Star Wars leads me to believe that there's a good chance Jar Jar will be a playable character...

Your suspicions have been confirmed [fbtbforums.net]. For some reason he gets a special "double-jump" ability.

The Raven Record

[MBraynard]

They don't seem to get a lot of press compared to other development houses whom they do just as well as. The Jedi Knight stuff, the Elite Force Game, Soldier of Fortune, and now this. If X-men legends, I think they will earn a spot among many gamers as a must-buy, right along with Id and Blizzard.

Raven is also developing Quake IV, which I think is totally rad. Raven kiks butt.
