    Erm, wow, of all the possible games that could've clinched the number one spot from the Game of the Year, it was Lego...

    Woohoo! That's excellent, I loved the lego star wars series. Great fun. I hope to get this one too, along with the batman one coming out sometime soon. (Though, on the PS3. I can't seem to get used to the Wiimote for playing many games)

    I'm glad to see these Fun-based games are showing up, so that perhaps it'll get rid of the whole "these games are only for kids" type of thinking.

    Why is Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games doing so well? That game was terrible and everyone knows it.

    I'd rather kill LEGO Nazis than run over hookers anyday.

    I supose the fact that it's on all consoles helps with sales.

      Accordint to Edge magazine a few months ago, they removed the fact it was Nazi's.

      I know, I was gutted too.

        As long as they have Blue eyes and blond hair, and there taking the place of the Nazi from the movie, I'm still satisfied. Heck, I even made a Hitler mini-fig as one of my customs.

    That's actually a good idea. LEGO GTA.

    I'd buy it.

    This is really weird. A lego game beating a Grand Theft Auto game, don't think I'll ever see that again.
