LEGO sets based on video games

[Ookami]

Hello guys. Let me begin with the fact, that nowadays video games have an incredible popularity all over the world. I've thought recently, what if LEGO makes some themes based on popular (or not popular) video games and will move in this direction? There is actually such a great and popular "Minecraft" theme, one Dimension "Portal" pack, even "Midway arcade" pack and several sets in Lego Star wars based on Star wars' video games. And of course, "Angry birds", which are basically based on movie, but stem directly from the popular mobile game. I just want to discuss, what do you think about it? What possible games could LEGO release in future? As for me, I am a bit disappointed, that they haven't made sets based on Warcraft as long as the movie is going to be released soon. It is so broad and interesting universe with so many characters - so why not try? Also, I hope TLG will make more Portal sets (as we already have one in Dimensions).

WarCraft is probably a little too violent / dark / adult for LEGO. Moreover, at least recently, Mega Bloks had the rights, and I believe they still do.

As with Angry Birds, though, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is another movie upon which LEGO's theme is directly based, but which itself is actually based on a series of video games, so both those LEGO themes can be said to based on games, at least indirectly.
