We imagine the office floors of UK developer, TT Games, being completely covered in developers sitting with their legs crossed and their eyes firmly fixated on their latest Lego creations. When other groups are hard at work stringing together reams of code and drawing concept sketches, these guys are building bridges, stacking blocks and crying in anguish whenever a careless passerby kicks over a wall. They're making Lego games -- and lots of them too.The studio's head of production, Jonathan Smith, tells GamesIndustry.biz that the Lego tracks have been put down beyond Lego Batman (bricking multiple consoles in 2008). "We have genuinely exciting plans for future Lego titles," says Smith, noting that the positive response earned by the Lego Star Wars games is pushing his team to exceed expectations. Though the titles have been popular among the young ones, it's not unusual to spot an "adult" having a good time with familiar characters and equally familiar building blocks.
Though no other Lego-fied franchises are mentioned, we eagerly anticipate the arrival of Lego Pink Panther, Lego Carmen Sandiego: Where in the World is That Damn Piece?, Lego Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Brickening and of course, Lego Lego Batman (the game based on the Lego based on the game).

Of course they are working on more games using the Lego franchise they are really excited about and of course they don't want to say which titles. But that's exactly what they said before. This isn't news. It isn't even a good rumor.
But, for the record, I think Lego Xmen should be next.

And imagine the DLC you could come up with! Batman legos, Star Wars legos, Generic Marvel superhero lego set 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and yes, 10...each $5 a set. Cash cow, baby!
Worms legos, Road Rules legos, Def Jam Icons legos. It's limitless. And the best part...everything runs under the same game engine, all you'd sell is skins. Brilliant!
Dudes! You could come up with a whole another parallel video gaming industry with this stuff. Why didn't someone think of this before?

What would really be awesome would be having sometype of Heroscape type game combining several of Lego's own sets to avoid licensing fees. You could have Lego ninjas fighting pirates fighting cowboys, fighting knights, fighting mecha.
Heck maybe throw in Jedi if you have a saved file from Star Wars.
That game would rock.

And I'm pretty sure we'll see a LEGO Harry Potter or two. It would jive rather well with the franchise's kid-friendly presentation and controls.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they end up bringing Indiana Jones to the Lego universe, what with the film next year (hopefully) reinvigorating the franchise and getting the MySpace crowd (and younger) into 'The Man with the Whip'. Not many characters to play as in that series, though.
