Lego is setting out to conquer the world. With several successful Lego titles beneath their belt, Lego is now aiming for the MMO market. Lego Minifigures Online will be developed in partnership with Funcom to be released in the second half of 2014. Sign-ups for closed beta has opened.

Players will take control of characters with unique power to travel to various lands, such as Pirate World and Medieval World, seeking out PvP and other action to level themselves up. Confirmed Lego characters include:

• Chicken Suit Guy
• Ice Skater
• Battle Mech
• Roller Derby Girl
• And many more.

News of a beta start date for Lego Minifigures Online is still to come, but players are welcome to go ahead and sign up for access. The game will follow the free-to-play business model once it releases following phases of closed and open beta.

Eager to get your hands on some Lego action before Lego Minifigures Online releases? Check out Lego's recently released title Lego Marvel SuperHeroes, released October 22nd, 2013. Marvel superheroes are set up to save Earth from the devious plan of Doctor Doom. Check out my guides and tips starting with my walkthrough of the first stage of the game, Defeating Sandman in New York City.

I do not know of anyone personally that either doesn't have a favorite Final Fantasy game or has never heard of Final Fantasy. So the news out of Square Enix today does not shock me at all. (Personally, I love IX cause Vivi the Black Mage is my utmost favorite character) So what news is fresh out of Square Enix today?

High Beta Registration Numbers

At a conference held today, Yoshi-P announced that the Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has a very high number of registrations already. At nearing a million, they have hit 920,000 beta registrations (plus one because I registered after reading the announcement on the blog). I was totally wowed at the high number of people eager to try out Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.

Apparently Final Fantasy XIV: A Real Reborn is going to be one of the hottest MMOs since sliced bread once it releases August 27, 2013 for PS3 and PC. I wonder if I could convince my close friend S to vacate WoW to play with me.
