LEGO Skywalker Saga, review
Whether or not you initially gel with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will depend on your starting point.
When presented with the option between Episodes I, IV and VII, I initially chose The Force Awakens. Mainly because my brain figured that – given this is something of a remake of the prior LEGO Star Wars Everything titles – this would represent the newest offering from Traveller’s Tales.
As it turns out, not liking the newest Star Wars movies also equates to not liking their LEGO game versions.
Once I switched to A New Hope, I found myself far more open to Skywalker Saga’s somewhat haphazard presentation.
Covering all nine films is no easy feat, let alone rewriting prior LEGO games.

BrickResales, Brisbane
BrickResales is Brisbane’s best kept LEGO secret.
After running their business as a successful pop-up for many years Judy and Greg took the plunge late 2020 into a bricks and mortar showroom. You could say they haven’t looked back. Over recent years LEGO has been back on another resurgence.
Especially in the hands of some during COVID lockdowns and undoubtedly on the coattails of LEGO Masters success.
BrickResales should be somewhere every LEGO lover knows about.

2020 Roundup, the year that was.
How do you have a 2020 Roundup? A year that has put the Annus in Annus Horribulus. The ongoing pandemic notwithstanding its been a year where everybody seems to have shared tragedy on some level.

Here we at the dawn of a New Year, and just like twelve short months ago. Everybody is wishing that when that calendar clicks over the trend gets better. We should take a quick spin around the highlights of what we managed under such adversity.

Star Wars: Squadrons (Playstation 4 + PSVR)
Star Wars Squadrons, you say?
The close of 2020 is fast approaching, not to mention the end of the current generation of consoles. I for one did not expect this late in the piece to be blindsided by a wee budget priced title made by EA!? of all publishers, to come out of nowhere and insert itself squarely in my 2020 game of the year considerations.
Finally someone at EA has seen fit to make a game worthy of the juggernaut IP that is Star Wars. And to boot, they have drawn heavily from one of the all-time great video games of the past Star Wars: Rogue Squadron.
Back in 1998 it was THE flight/space combat game to play. It has baffled many a gamer pundit why it has been over 20 years since we could strap on an X-Wing at shoot stuff.
