LEGO Universe Awarded 'Best Family Game'!

The E3 awards keep coming, and we are very proud to add yet another great win to our shiny collection. Zam, a highly recognized gaming site covering all the major massively multiplayer online role playing games, has awarded LEGO Universe Best Family Game at E3, 2010.

Zam are especially excited about “the depth and replayability of the game” as well as the fact that LEGO Universe is as safe as can be: “the developers are working hard to make this a game where parents who play games can introduce their kids to an MMO where they have no concern over questionable content”.

It’s incredibly exciting to be recognized as a top family game, and we hope to bring endless hours of fun, building and creativity into many families’ homes in the future.

And we are confident that we can deliver on the high expectations set by Zam: “LEGO Universe has it all at the moment, and we can only hope the game is as good when it is released as it showed at E3.”
