As a testament to the power of the game, I have lent Lego Star Wars to my wife's coworker's fiance in an attempt to recapture my life. I am thoroughly enjoying that game!

Star Wars has taken some nasty hits in the last decade, not the least of which have been the new movies. However, like Cartoon Network's Clone Wars, Lego Star Wars kindles the fire of excitement that made Star Wars great. . . but in different ways. It is only fair that we are swapping Clone Wars DVD for Lego Star Wars video game. My wife has not seen Clone Wars yet and has seen all too much of Lego Star Wars. I have shielded her from the spoiler-rich Episode III section by playing after she has safely gone to sleep.

Now perhaps I can find time to put a stake into Castlevania HoD.
