The next entry in the LEGO videogame series will be a Nintendo DS-exclusive one, it was announced today by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and series creator TT Games.

The squad-based game LEGO Battles will be based on the LEGO Castle, LEGO Pirates and LEGO Space series of toys, mixing together all three themes. As such, expect to see pirates, aliens, ninjas and dragons battling side-by-side during the game's 70 levels. The game will also be more strategic in nature than previous entries in the series, as players will be able to build bases.

Multiplayer is also supported through wireless DS multi-card play.

LEGO Battles will be developed by Hellbent Games, and is expected this summer.

I might have to check this out, though the appeal of the recent LEGO games--Star Wars, Indy, and Batman--for me was the opportunity to play through a popular license-based game that really understood its source material. Finding all of the secrets and playing as favorite characters in different worlds, especially in LEGO Star Wars, was really fun. Even though each game followed the same formula, fans of different properties could latch on to that particular title (I love Batman, so that's the one I've played the most) and enjoy all the nods to history.

Other than that, I'm not really familiar with LEGOs. Never played with them, so a LEGO game carrying solely the theme of LEGO might not be so thrilling for me.

But of course, that's just me. I'm sure many gamers will find this awesome.

    Everyone once an awhile when I need to do the big yearly clean of my apartment or home I will find my old LEGO collection I've been keeping for when I have kids.
    
    I usually wind up building something and stop cleaning. Problem is building crap with LEGO's usually equals larger mess than I started with since I have to dig for specific pieces. Damn it is fun to really get in touch with ones inner child again though.
