Block party: Redman is proud of Brick City. But what if Reggie Noble was actually made of bricks? Then he’d probably look a lot like the 20 classic hip hop album covers recreated in LEGO from Format magazine. There’s Dr. Dre, EPMD, Run DMC and Biz Markie, and an eerily accurate Ghostface Killah minifig. So do these rappers lose any hype or menace in the translation to a two-inch yellow format? Just ask the Game, who’s about twice as scary in plastic than in the flesh at www.formatmag.com/features/lego-hip-hop-album-covers/.
Fake ID: Am I crazy, or did Dwight Schrute just totally blow past me in Mario Kart Wii? Nope. That actually happened. And don’t be surprised if you see Hank Hill, Chuck Norris or Barack Obama either, because among the guys-with-nothing-to-do set, celebrity console avatars are all the rage. Games Radar has their latest celebrity avatar showdown, which pits the best avatars from Wii, XBOX 360 and PS3 against each other in a cartoony, unconvincing battle royale at tinyurl.com/6zapxk.
