Even if you’re not an Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo gamer yourself, and even if you’ve never played one of the many LEGO games, it’s hard not to appreciate the strange and stunning LEGO creations inspired by video games. Look for lots of LEGO models inspired by Halo, the Legend of Zelda, Gears of War, Pokemon, Final Fantasy, and more. Game on!

Micro StarCraft multiplayer map celebrates release of StarCraft II

This stop-motion video by Alex Kobbs captures so many classic moments from StarCraft that I don’t know which is my favorite.

My copy of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty is in the mail, and Alex’s video just heightens the anticipation.

A new dimension of RPG

Bo King Wang (CREATION K.O Creation) thinks outside the 8-bit box and creates a 3D RPG battle depicting a band of heroes taking down an evil sorceress and her monster. The back panels feature two additional scenes that are also worth checking out. See them all in the gallery on Flickr.

Lego Halo pistol makes me wonder if it has 2X zoom

The M6D Pistol is a favorite weapon of many Halo players back in the days of Halo: Combat Evolved. This life-sized rendition by Robo-Man is best I’ve seen. I particularly like the SNOT details and the utilization of studs on the grip.

L.D.M.’s LEGO Portal turret prepares to dispense product

I might have passed up this turret gun from Valve’s Portal as, well, just another Portal turret if I hadn’t read L.D.M.‘s description: “This image is completely unedited.” Wait, what?

That’s a real laser beam, made visible by a humidifier:

Well played.

Mass Effect Citadel in LEGO microscale

While we wait for Brandon Bannerman (Catsy) to finish his Halo ringworld, he fills our quotient of micro video game locales with the Citadel from Mass Effect.

Of the presentation, Brandon says, “Shot in low light with two blacklights to make the trans-neon-orange elements fluoresce.” Nice.

(And don’t miss Ben Fellowes’ SSV Normandy.)

LEGO Chocobo looks too fierce to be chained up

LEGO Chocobos were a bit of a fad a few years ago, but they were all based on the same design. Carl Merriam takes these key Final Fantasy characters to new LEGO heights, though it’s unclear why the big yellow guy isn’t allowed to roam free.

Halo: Reach Spartan is ready to play Headhunter on Sword Base

I’ve been enjoying multiplayer gameplay in Halo: Reach for some time now. I just can’t get enough of the jetpack, and my enjoyment is enhanced by the fact that I’m not quite as terrible a player as I am in Halo 3.

While I’ve been busy trying not to get beat down too frequently, Shawn Snyder has been building this awesome Spartan.

Lego Indiana Jones Game Launch Bricks!

Many of you may remember when we posted the job opening at Traveller’s Tales, back in February of 2009. The results of that job search were discussed in our interview with Carl Greatrix.

However, another very cool result of that process was that TT Games recently sent us these two bricks as a “thank you” gift.

They are very awesome. According to TT Games, these two launch bricks are the only ones in the public domain. You will also be happy to learn that the bricks came with one stipulation. They have to be given away. To honor their request, we will be donating them as prizes in some future event. It hasn’t been decided what or when that will be, but it will be something special, as these are incredibly unusual pieces.

The best of nnenn: Vic Viper

This Vic Viper was the first that nnenn has shown us at the start of 2008. I had to learn that this starfighter came from the the 1985 Gradius games. The player controls a ship known as the Vic Viper in this scrolling shooter, which you can actually play here. Thanks to nnenn, just about every active Lego builder on Flickr now knows what it is.

Be sure to join us in sharing your own thoughts on Nate’s online eulogy.
