Is there one you'd recommend? I like the idea of the Lord of the Rings one (never played one before!)

The Lego games are pretty much the same formula across the board. Although the older ones (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indian Jones) don't have any voice acting and relies heavily on "grunts, groans, screams, cries, and random, unintelligable gibberish" (http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Video_Game)
I own most of them, game play is simple, dialogs and references are amusing. I personally like the Lego games so for a cheap price, it's worth adding to your library.

Lego: Jurassic World - I enjoyed this one the most, playing through each film and the dynamic scenes.
Lego: Marvel Super Heroes - Great open world environment, you are based on the Helicarrier and below you is a large city that you can roam around to complete challenges and unlock new character.
Lego: Pirates of the Caribbean - Same as Jurassic World, very enjoyable playing through the films .
I don't own any of the Lego: Lord of the Rings but I will be picking these up today.

They're all pretty mechanically similar so I'd personally recommend going with whichever franchise you like the best (at least in terms of the ones based on specific films). I lived the first Indiana Jones one partly because I enjoyed the riffing on the three films with which I'm most familiar. The second one, based on Crystal Skull, not so much as I committed none of that film to memory (apart from a ludicrous incident with a fridge).
Playing Star Wars Complete Saga in local co-op is one of my fondest gaming memories.

Going from the reviews off Steam, apparently the The Hobbit is only 2 out of 3 films and the 3rd part is never going to be released.

My kids love the Lego games but sadly they aren't allowed anywhere near my PC :smiley: that said I normally get them Lego games for the X360 as that's mostly what they play with when friends come over. Shame those games never get this cheap, but again, that's what I love about my PC and Steam.

Have you tried family sharing? You can authorize your kids computer to have access to games you've selected in your library - of course, that's if your children have their own PC.

True. Although the reason we game on a PC is choice right? Variety is the spice of life.
Opening post
Others games that I've found cheaper than other etailers that are doing promotions for Lego (GMG for example):
Lego: Batman 3: Beyond Gotham £2.71
Lego: Lord of the Rings £2.39
Lego: The Hobbit £2.38
Lego: Star Wars 3 £5.26
All are Steam codes.
