Apple Games has posted a new article, this time exploring the recently released MMO LEGO Universe. Apple's article includes an overview of the game's features, comments from creative director Ryan Seabury, a history of LEGO computer games, and some tips and tricks for success.

The LEGO Universe story takes place many years after a group of mini-figs set out to find the last essence of pure imagination. Unfortunately, one of them, Baron Typhonus, decided to demonstrate pure imagination’s capabilities by building a giant spider, which pulled him into the source of creative power and created the chaotic force known as the Maelstrom. Now innocent mini-figs are being turned into dark creatures called Stromlings, and you’ve been recruited by Nexus Force to help defeat the Maelstrom.

“There were a few iterations of the storyline over the years,” Seabury explains, “although we’ve generally stuck to the thread of the Imagination vs. Maelstrom theme, which is about bringing order to chaos through creativity. A lot of people look at this on the surface and see it as good versus evil, but we don’t look at it that way.”
