  |  |  | |  | | From Niko Silvester, your About Video Games Editor | | | It's another week of miscellaneous cool gaming stuff on About's videogaming sites. Brian tackles the huge number of LEGO videogames to pick out the five best (for PlayStation consoles, anyway), while Michael does the same for an even larger number of free-to-play PC games. Charles details how easy it would be for Nintendo to take the lead in better representing female gamers in its games (without somehow pushing male gamers aside), and Eric finds the latest 'Transformers' game had potential it didn't live up to (kind of like the movies). Plus, Nadia has a fun 3DS cheat, and Brittany reviews 'Sonic.' | | Several of us videogamers here at About are fans of the LEGO games -- they're fun, easy to pick up and play, and there is plenty of choice among tie-in franchises. But according to Brian's article, there are nearly 50 different LEGO games out so far, so how does one choose which to buy? Covering everything from PS2 to PS4, this article picks out the five best of the bunch. READ NOW | | | | When you're on a budget (or just don't feel like going to the game store or spending any money), free games are a fine thing. But free-to-play isn't exactly the same as completely free, and not all F2P games are any good. Brian picks out his top 10 for PC, and includes information on what you might need to pay for, once you've exhausted the free parts. READ NOW | | | | There has been a lot of discussion about sexism in videogames in the media lately, with many gamers calling for more inclusive games that don't make female gamers feel left out. Charles thinks that Nintendo has the potential to lead in the realm of gender choice -- not by making games for girls, but by making games that let women and girls feel represented alongside men and boys. READ NOW | | | | The latest 'Transformers' game attempts to integrate the earlier games and the recent movies, but Eric says that can't really hide the fact that it is very much a movie tie-in, complete with shoddy, hurried construction. The worst part, though, is that it has hints of something better, making it all the more disappointing.
