Office of the Don #13: Lego of My Controller
Greetings, Centurions!
Today’s installment is going to be a little shorter than you’re used to. My sincere apologies. I’m still dealing with things right now in regards to my friend Scot, and it has put me slightly behind on my other obligations.
Be that as it may, I’m still going to give you something, dagnabbit! Oh man. Sorry about the harsh language. Stress can really wreak havoc on a person. Sometimes a guy – any guy, but maybe one with a beard and long hair who looks a little like Silent Bob – just needs to find him something to help him relax and relieve the tension of the long day.
(Here’s where I use that clunky bit of exposition above to segue into my topic for today’s installment.)
You all know that I have a PS3 now. I have some good games for it: Metal Gear Solid 4, Grand Theft Auto 4, The Incredible Hulk. But there is one game that I can’t seem to get enough of…
To make a long story short (too late), I love me some Lego Star Wars.
I mean, I already bought both the first and second Lego Star Wars games for the PS2 when they first came out. I’ve beaten both of them. When I got my PS3, I immediately picked up Lego Indiana Jones, hungry for more Lego misadventures. But, though I did love Lego Indy, it just wasn’t as expansive and diverse as Lego Star Wars.
So, when my friend Eric decided to pick up The Complete Saga for his PS3, his tempting offer to play the co-op online mode was too sweet to ignore. I went out and picked it up for myself.
Holy cow. I haven’t played any of my other games since I popped this in. I love this game! It has quite a number of changes to make it worth purchasing even if you already bought the first two. The game play is extremely fun. It’s challenging, but not too hard. You can get through it quickly enough. Thing is, there is just so much more game to play in The Complete Saga. I’m swiftly taking this game in whole with a voracious hunger. There’s just so much to do and so many cool new unlockables to get and use.
If there was one thing that was off about this game, it has to be the online co-op mode. It’s not easy to just get online and play with a friend. But, after some research, Eric and I were able to make a few small tweaks that allowed the online mode to work really well.
Despite its minor flaw, this game never ceases to be an enjoyable experience for me. I’m addicted!
Crap. Now I have another problem to stress me out.
The Don is a Lego brick… house.

Hooray! Video game problems and real life problems are synonymous with each other! Jackass.
