Well the PR agency that normally sends me the LEGO games isn't handling LEGO Dimensions, so I may not get to review it after all.  They sent my request to WBIE, though, so we'll see what happens.

I did pick up one of the playsets today, though.  I figured the Portal set would be hard to find, so I reserved it and picked it up today.  It was the last one they had!  I may get the Simpsons and Back to the Future playsets, and later the Ghostbusters one, but that may be it (maybe the Dr.Who one for a friend).  But it just depends how much I like the main game.  If I don't get to review it, I'll just use my birthday Best Buy gift cards to get it.

One question for you.  How much content is in one of the level packs?  Is it just one short LEGO stage or is there more to it than that? 

Capcom and Zen teamed up to make a Street Fighter table.  I want them to do that again and make Mega Man pinball!

Pinball FX2 is pretty good, but the best pinball simulators came from the Pro Pinball series (Timeshock, Big Race USA, Fantastic Journey).

I watched Hotel Transylvania on Netflix.  It was all right, but not worth going to see it in a theater.  I'll probably do the same with the sequel, just wait until it hits Netflix.

As much of a big Kirby fan as I am now, it wasn't the first Kirby game that won me over.  Considering that I can beat both the original and hard quests in less than an hour, I can understand why this wasn't the game to make me a Kirby fan.  That honor actually goes to Kirby's Dream Course.  That was my first Kirby game.

I don't have any favorite Batmobiles, but I have a funny story to tell.  Last month when I was at Toys R Us, they had one of those little push cars for toddlers who are just learning to walk, and it was Batman themed.  But the stickers on the sides of the car had Batman and Robin looking like they were little chubby babies!  It was hilarious.  I should've taken pictures.  I could just imagine them saying,

"Come on, Wobin, we have to catch the Widdler!"

"Doo doo daa daa maa maa goo goo pee pee!"

I reviewed the very first Armored Core game back when I was at The Dallas Morning News.  Before then, the only other popular mech game at the time was MechWarrior, and that was just a glorified tank sim.  Armored Core is what a mech game should be, I think.

Oh cool, so it is coming out on systems I can play it on.  I have a good relatonship with Activision, so maybe I can review it.  Or get Jeff to review it. :)

I saw that game in arcades everywhere back in the day.

It looks so horrible now, but that game was huge back then.
