This may be among the last video games I buy as an adult until my kids are old enough to actively play them with me. I bought Lego Pirates of the Caribbean a few months ago for $20 and have played it only a few times since then. I'm possibly getting to that 'old man' stage where I am consciously aware of what a waste of time it is to play video games even when the time does present itself (I've been tempted to pick up Max Payne 3, but will probably wait until it's cheap). Of course, once Allison and/or Ethan are old enough to play along (Allison should be within the next year), then I'll have an alibi. And I can't imagine Allison won't get a huge kick out of this one if it's not too difficult, as she's a pretty big superhero fan, something I didn't exactly force upon her but have certainly not discouraged. She quite enjoys The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Young Justice and the only reason I haven't agreed to take her to see The Avengers is because its 140 minutes long. So yeah, this looks like an obscene amount of fun. And yes, I'll probably ask for this one for a Father's Day gift. Because even if I don't have the time to dive headfirst into such a video game, Allison will be able and willing soon enough. And when she and I are kicking ass across Gotham City as Batman and Wonder Woman respectively (or whomever she wants to be), it won't be a waste of time at all, will it?
