Warner Bros. and TT Games are taking a different approach for their next project. The companies today jointly announced Lego: Legends of Chima, an entirely new intellectual property that will span three different titles for various platforms. Lego: Legends of Chima is composed of three different experiences, the first of which carries a subtitle of "Speedorz." A racing minigame developed by TT Games and 4T2, Lego: Legends of Chima: Speedorz is available today at Lego.com and will arrive for iOS devices tomorrow. The next is Lego: Legends of Chima: Laval's Journey. Also developed by TT Games, this title is due out for PlayStation Vita (summer 2013) and Nintendo 3DS (fall 2013). The game has players embarking on an adventure into the world of Chima where brave warrior Laval and company are called into a battle. Third, Lego: Legends of Chima Online is a free-to-play online game developed by WB Games Montreal. It is due out in fall 2013 and will allow players to build and customize their own world, explore environments, and take on missions. Lego: Legends of Chima is a departure from how Warner Bros. and TT Games have handled the Lego license recently. The most recent Lego games have been based on established properties, including Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, and others.

| | Fez going multiplatform Jan 2nd 2013, 15:27 Polytron porting downloadable game to "other platforms" in 2013; creator Phil Fish teases the opening of a United States branch. 
Fez will not be an Xbox 360-exclusive forever. Creator Phil Fish announced in a blog post that the puzzle-platform game will be ported to "other platforms" in 2013. "Yes, I’ve heard you, dozens of people emailing me everyday [sic] telling me how much of an idiot I am for not porting Fez to everything," Fish wrote. Fish also teased "exciting plans" for the game's soundtrack, as well as "something about a United States branch." The developer explained in his blog entry that he vacated his former workspace in Montreal, Canada at the end of the year. Fez, which has sold over 100,000 units, is a 2D platformer built entirely using Microsoft's XNA tools in an 8-bit pixel art style. The game also adds a third dimension and lets players rotate the gameworld around the protagonist, Gomez. For more on the title, check out GameSpot's review.
