A great many games have arisen from the playtime juggernaut that is LEGO, with some classics (remember LEGO Island?) and some that fell short of the mark. However, LEGO has a knack for striking pay dirt when they combine pop culture staples with their brick-based universe (often when the pop element...

Gorgeous graphics that bring the LEGO universe to life; Great story mode with tons of unlockable characters; Strikes a nice balance between puzzles and button-mashing

Level objectives can be unclear at times; Somewhat repetitive level structure; Controls can feel funky on a PC

LEGO and TT Games really know how to take an existing IP and produce some quality titles that are enjoyable by a wide range of age groups. As a comic book fan, I was pretty excited to see them tackle Marvel with LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes($19.99 at GameStop) is a near-perfect blend of three wonderful childhood staples: comic books, video games, and, well, LEGO. Steeped in Marvel Comics goodness, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes puts players in the role of a superhero team (a wonderful mish-mash of over 100 comic book characters) tasked with recovering all-powerful Cosmic Bricks that are scattered around the globe before top-tier baddies such as Loki, Dr. Doom, and Magneto get their hands on the cubes. It's a threat level worthy enough to warrant developer TT Games plopping the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, The Avengers, and other favorites into one excellent, family-friendly superhero romp. It's one of the best PC games there is, for both kids and adults. window.videoEmbeds = window.videoEmbeds || []; window.videoEmbeds.push({ elemId: 'video-container-63nwkYXDn5', data: {"slug":"63nwkYXDn5","url":"https:\/\/mashable-video.s3...

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes lies at the intersection of comic books, toys, and video games, and slickly combines elements of all into one of 2013's most entertaining PC games.

Simple but engaging combat and puzzle-solving; A light, whimsical story; Tons of Marvel characters, both popular and obscure; Incredibly fun open-world gameplay; Custom character creation

Repetitive story mode; Loose vehicle controls; Lack of difficulty may turn off some gamers

Lego Marvel Super Heroes is out in the States, but has then horribly drowned in the oceans, seemingly not released in Europe until the 15th November. Quite why Warner would go to such lengths to screw up the release of such an excellent game we're not sure. We've asked.

Some of my favorite moments in comics have always been the ones where heroes from different books interact with each other. Whether it be Spider-man and Daredevil hanging out in Hell's Kitchen or The Fantastic Four and Captain America teaming up to take on an enemy threatening New York; there's just...

Every year, we see a flood of incredibly violent games coming from almost every direction, and sometimes it's nice to just sit back and have fun with a palette cleanser. Lego Marvel Super Heroes may be the ultimate palette cleanser, as well as one of my favorite video game experiences of the year!

Again best lego game!!!! I have it for pc and the game is great!!!! there are smaller levels in New York which makes up for 6-8 levels. I got the game two weeks ago and I've fallen in love with it.

Just about everyone likes escapism and to live in a fantasy world full of impossible possibilities.  Unfortunately for most of us, we mere humans are not known for having super powers that let us fly, command thunder or leap tall sky scrapers in a single bound.

+The most packed Lego game roster ever

-Even lower difficulty curve then previous games may put off some
