The news hit on 1/06/2009 that 1UP.com, MyCheats.com, GameTab.com and GameVideos.com would be sold to UGO.com. EGM has been closed. Many people on the 1UP staff lost their jobs. This news immediately had a profound effect on gamers, not to mention the whole of games journalism. i turned to Twitter just after word of the acquisition hit my RSS feed and watched as the many reactions from both 1UP staffers and other games journalists came in. i've compiled them here in this video.

i found this bug in the 4th level of the first bunch of villain missions "An Enterprising Theft". Go inside the room with the NPC that Riddler is supposed to mesmerize and you can pin him in a corner and use your freeze ray on him. He will continuously drop silver Legos without dying. This has to be done in Free Play mode. This is for the PC version, i am not sure if it works on consoles.
