A lot of fond memories go into Lego blocks, and from the pre-schooler just learning hand-eye coordination to the 16-year-old tech dude who's making his very first robotic arm, we've been looking at the franchise make fairly successful headway into gaming, with titles like Lego Star Wars coming to mind, or Bionicle Heroes, which we haven't really gotten anything new on lately save for a few screenshots.

That was almost two months ago, and we're happy to report that we've just picked up a new gameplay trailer for the Bionicle fans out there who were beginning to wonder just how the game turned out compared to its written (the books and comics) and boxed (the toys) kin.

The game takes place on Voya Nui Island, and this trailer should introduce gamers to how the game handles, from grabbing Toa masks, to learning how to kill disassemble that next Piraka nasty that gets in their way.

In the recent X06, Eidos Interactive and TT Games set a line-up for the younger Xbox 360 crowd, among which is the next installment of the Lego universe, Bionicle Heroes. It's going to be a fresh new adventure for the Bionicle fans out there, because they get to play their favorite Toa Inika characters in this blast-'em-up game.

The Bionicle series will get an extreme make-over now that it's headed for the 360. The game is to be set in the exotic island of Voya Nui, which is going to be filled with heroes and villains from both the past and present, in one whole free-for-all adventure. There's going to be mountains, jungle, and volcanoes to explore as you barrel through the island to thwart the evil forces of the Piraka.

Here's some screenshots to show you how much of the 360's powerful engine was used to make the Bionicle universe alive. Click them to enlarge.
