LEGO Dimensions – Adventure Time Team Pack
We recently took a look at the Adventure Time Level pack, and thoroughly enjoyed what we got in the package. The world is beautifully detailed with that Adventure Time esthetic, and the gameplay itself is different enough to make it feel fresh, but still that classic LEGO action. The Adventure Time Team Pack doesn't add anything new in terms of environments, but brings to life more characters and vehicles from the Adventure Time franchise.
LEGO Dimensions Holiday Buying Guide
With Disney Infinity bowing out of the Toys-To-Life marketplace, there really are only two options for these types of games: Skylanders and LEGO Dimensions. While Skylanders does get plenty of play time in my home, LEGO Dimensions easily trumps it, and in our humble opinion, it is the toys-to-life game you should be buying this holiday season. Here is a wrap up of what has released recently, and what is going to release soon, complete with links to our opinions!
LEGO Dimensions – Mission Impossible Level Pack
I always enjoy when LEGO Dimensions comes out with Level packs. Although we have seen that they aren't quite as big as Story Packs, they definitely beat out Team Packs and Fun Packs in overall value. The Mission Impossible Level Pack may seem small - only one character and two vehicles - but the included levels and story line make this one exceptional release for the popular franchise.
LEGO Dimensions: Gandalf Meets Newt Scamander (Video)
Many new heroes and villains are coming to Lego Dimensions soon. Among them is Newt Scamander. If you are going “Who?”, that’s understandable. We haven’t even seen the movie with Newt yet! Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a prequel to the Harry Potter franchise and Newt Scamander is the hero of the new movies. And Lego Dimensions has put up a new video introducing him to the game. Gandalf the grey, from Lord of the Rings, introduces…
LEGO Dimensions – Harry Potter Team Pack
If you've never read or watched Harry Potter, I strongly suggest you just stop reading this and go do it. Regardless of what you think about wizards and witches, this long saga is a tale you don't really want to miss. When it was originally announced that this franchise would be coming to LEGO Dimensions, I was incredibly excited. After playing around in the level for a number of hours, I can safely say I was not disappointed.
LEGO Dimensions – Ghostbusters Story Pack
LEGO Dimensions is the must own Toys-to-Life gift this holiday season, and for LEGO fans, the most own game this holiday season. No, it's not a new title, but with all the updates and releases from LEGO and Warner Bros., you would think it is! Recently, GamesReviews was fortunate enough to get a few of the newly released packs to play around with, and Ghostbusters was my first choice!
Farming Simulator – Getting Through the First Hours
For many people, Farming Simulator 2017 can be some what intimidating, and for good reason – there is a lot to think about, a lot to know, and often, multiple ways to do any one given job.

Don’t feed them after midnight! The Gremlins, Gizmo and Stripe, will be coming to Lego Dimensions. A newly released video introduces them. A new “Meet That Hero” video of Lego Dimensions was released today on Youtube. In the video, a character I know nothing about named Marceline the Vampire Queen (Adventure Time), introduces everyone to some Gremlins. The two Gremlins are Gizmo and Stripe. I know both these characters because I have seen the Gremlins movies. I suppose the purpose…
Rock Band Rivals is Adequately Priced
When Harmonix announced ahead of Rock Band 4's release that we shouldn't expect new iterations year after year, many people scoffed and figured they would believe it when they saw it. Well folks, we are seeing it now, evidenced by their recent Rock Band Rivals release. For only 29.99, a ton of new content - modes primarily - has been added to the game, and this will get those playing the game less and less, on a more regular rock band schedule.
