No matter how old you become, Lego will always be fun. This goes double for countless Lego video games.
Ever since Lego video games became a thing, they were instantly addictive. And while tracking down a copy of Lego Island for the PC is damn near impossible, there are tons more brick-tastic titles to be had. And unlike special edition Lego sets, these babies are actually pretty affordable.
The Lego video games you really need to own
