He's got Lego City's mayor crawling up his ass and...wait, do Lego people even have asses?

LEGO City Undercover really impressed me with its E3 trailer. A game that wasn't really on my radar is now one of my most anticipated titles! While we all wait for the game to release, we can check out the official Euro teaser site at the link below.

Someone check on Gary Whitta. I think he just passed out.
