LEGO City Undercover is one of the better LEGO games out there. There's a lot of humor and references that would definitely go over kids' heads.
Fable II Done. Started Lego City Undercover

I finished with Fable II today and then started Lego City Undercover.
I got the last achivement I can get in the game with the Murgo's Dyes one. The last of 9 dyes is in the Colosseum and you have to collect three teddy bears to get it. Two are easy but the last one is gotten by scoring exactly 1985 points in the arena battle.This seemed to be too hard to get with the character I did my third playthrough with. He wasn't fast enough or had a good enough weapon to control the flow of the battle. So I switched to my first playthrough character, the one who's like a female spartan, has all her abilities to the max, and has the best, and fastest, weapon in the game. With her I was able to control the hoards and carefully manipulate the score to hit that exact number. Then, because I had switched characters, I had to go collect the other ones all over again. Luckily I only had three to get. I had found most of them already somehow.
Mark jumped in to view the achievement in co-op so he could get it too. I tried one last time to trade for a chicken suit to no avail, so now I am finally done with Fable II. Two achievements are left on the table but there's really no way to get those now that there are so few people still playing the game who can trade for Hero Dolls or a Chicken Suit. I'm satisfied though. What a journey. I didn't think I'd get this deep into the game when I started it.
I started my rental, Lego City Undercover, after that. This is an open world lego game in the style of a 70s or 80s cop show. You're a maverick police detective out to stop crime the old fashioned way, brute force. It's entertaining. The dialog is funny and the puzzles well constructed. It's a tad easy and obsessive as you try and collect everything you can, destroy everything you can, and uncover every secret. I like it, but I feel like maybe I'll just finish the main story and send it back. Then, one day when it's cheap, I'll buy it to complete all the achievements. I'll have to see how I feel playing it next week. Maybe I'll get really hooked and have to complete it, but maybe not.
Tomorrow I'm going to make a quick stop at Jay Street Video Games to see if they have the lastest backwards compatible game, Xbox 360's Deadly Premonition. I've always wanted to check that game out.
