Lego games

Lego has been giving us some of the best online games--especially Junkbot, and the sequel Junkbot Undercover. Today I discovered WorldBuilder, which is another clever problem-solving game in the Junkbot vein. You collect and move Lego bricks to make different creatures, from snails to dirt buggies to Treebots. (Like the two Junkbots and StackIt, WorldBuilder was created by Gamelab.)

If you're a Lego Club member you can also play Dreamz and Beltz (both require free registration). In Dreamz you guide sleepwalking minifigs to their beds by gently bouncing them off of strategically placed bricks. It's sort of like Junkbot with isometric perspective. Beltz requires you to sort falling bricks into the correct box by controlling a series of conveyor belts. It seems easy enough until the speed picks up and you have to sort by colour and shape, and you're fiendishly clicking on the conveyor belts to avoid dumping four red bricks in the yellow bin. Anyway, both are a notch above most games I've found on the web.
