Aliens: not just for bursting out of your chest anymore. Now they’re in your LEGOs!

The titular aliens from the Alien films are, in my opinion, right at the top of the scariness chart, which means I never, ever thought I’d say anything based on their design was at all cute. And yet, I find the little…

Shadow Complex was released for XBLA fewer than ten days ago, and not only is it hugely controversial, but it’s also got a LEGO tribute already. And you thought something like Grand Theft Auto IV made a splash.

Aww, even the guns are adorable!  You’d never guess that people have been arguing about boycotting this sweetly…

Like Tetris? Then you’ll love this website that features all the Tetris you can handle – 24-hours-a-day, 7 -days-a-week, 365-days-a-year.

Tetris Friends is an online gaming experience that offers a bunch of Flash-based variants on the classic puzzler by Alexey Pajitnov.

The site currently features 7 single-player variants of the game, along with 3 multiplayer games,…

Here’s one of those things that makes me go, “why not?”: Building Brick iPod Speakers. On one hand, Lego and iPod barely have anything to do with each other. On the other hand, why not?

The Building Brick iPod Speakers, aka iPod Brick, aka iBlock, but not aka Lego iPod speakers,  works with 3rd-5th gen…

If you’re a geek or a techie among ignorant friends, here’s something you can try for a few laughs. Or a few punches in the face. Playboy21 of psp-hacks has cooked up a tiny program he calls TrickBrick.

If one of your n00b friends owns a PSP, offer to upgrade their firmware. Put TrickBrick into…

Some people have way more time on their hands than I. Take for instance this guy, who painstakingly created this Star Wars scene using nothing but a crapload of LEGO bricks.

Tim Goddard (aka Roguebantha) created this amazingly detailed scene he calls “Rebel Attack”. The diorama envisions Rebel forces descending on a base known as “Mustaneer”…

LEGO artist extraordinaire Nathan Sawaya’s recent project is this super sweet LEGO skateboard. It’s actual size, and based on the close-up picture of the wheels I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s not actually ride-able.

According to the artist, his inspiration came about thusly: “My friend recently bought a new deck…

These LEGO brick art pieces are the perfect way to brighten up any drab room.

Painstakingly assembled by artist Motion5, these artworks use anywhere from 800 to 4000 colorful single-peg LEGO building blocks. Pieces range in size from 10″x10″ up to 20″x30″, and Motion5 will also do custom designs to your specifications. (We want LEGO…

I had no idea you could get custom phones to look like food products, but I’m here to tell you that you can, and they’re… um… unique.

It all started when I saw this phone that looked like a sandwich, or rather, that looked like a phone horribly smooshed into a sandwich. This led me…

These clever desk lamps get their inspiration from classic LEGO building blocks. Designed by Taiwan’s 25togo, these LED illuminated acrylic block lamps look just like a giant-size version of the popular plastic playthings.

The blocks have a snap-off top layer that’s designed to hold pens, pencils and other office items. Each brick measures in at…

Too bad this Lego sushi is inedible, because it looks oddly delicious! I love the wasabi- that’s got to be a specialty color.

I must be in serious need of a snack because I actually drooled a little bit when I saw these pictures. Of course, it’s hard to tell if that’s because of my…

LunaBlocks are giant Lego-like blocks that you can use to make furniture!

LunaBlocks were designed by Thierry Nahon & Philippe Landecker, who say they are all about “the transformation and enlargement of bricks used in building games for children.” Which means that no actual Legos were harmed, or even referenced, in the making of these…
