When you see a box sitting on the store shelf and the name Atlus is on it, what typically runs through your head? Well, one would probably think of words like Japanese, depth, and of course, RPG.

Of interest to us (if not to the mewling kiddies) were the various philosophies of TT Games, most of which we would deem highly arguable. Here's a list with our response:

Traveller's Tales is back once again with another LEGO game for our enjoyment. However this time there not hooking up with LucasArts, they are now hooking up with DC comics and Warner Bros. and bringing the Batman franchise to the LEGO world.

It's in our genetic makeup to want to build things. Clicking colored plastic pieces together not only lets a kid construct some tangible plaything, be it the house he wants to live in, the car he wants to own, or the hero he wants to be.

Gamers will now all be familiar with the LEGO series of games developed by Traveler's Tales. After "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" iterations of the series it was time to look elsewhere for inspiration and it's in DC Comics favourite, "Batman", that they have found it.

Arkham Asylum, home for the criminally insane , has some serious security issues. I understand that it's supposed to be a "hospital", but when your patients can control plant life or happen to be an 8-foot tall crocodile-man, hiring a few extra guards just might be a budgetary priority.

Great characters; Unique plot; Next up Lego Godfather

Next up Lego Godfather

Fortunately, in this 3D scrolling action romp, there is every need to swap bat boots as each character has access to unique abilities such as bomb planting or gliding (Batman) or computer hacking and magnetic climbing (Robin).

We can all relate to the Dark Knight. That's possibly what contributes and underpins his monumental success over the years. He doesn't have any super powers or genetic mutations like Kent or Parker, he is merely your average Joe who decided to take a stand and clean up a city for the greater good.

Lego Batman is great, yet it still doesn't unseat Lego Star Wars (Complete) as the best Lego game of all time. Fun on your own, even more fun with a friend.

LEGO Batman: The Videogame is the third LEGO adaptation from Traveller's Tales. They previously took the Star Wars and Indiana Jones universes and converted them into the block form we know and love from our childhood.

Almost every major Batman character represented; Lots or replayabilty; Plenty of unlockables; Danny Elffman soundtrack; Kid friendly

Lack of online mode; Not much innovation from previous LEGO videogames
