How do you improve upon one of the best adventure film series of all-time? With Legos, of course! That’s just what this May’s Lego Indiana Jones hopes to do. This new game trailer shows plenty of the wit and charm previously expressed in the Lego Star Wars titles. The game’s graphics are quite pleasant and the two natives showcased should perhaps get their own spin off game. The best part? Is that a Crash Bandicoot homage, which itself was an Indiana Jones homage?
While fans of the Indiana Jones series wait patiently for the newest film in the series, LucasFilm is attempting to quench your thirst with a new Special Edition of all three previous films along with a neat surprise.
Scheduled for a May 13 release date, the special edition will feature restored and remastered versions of Indy’s previous hoorahs and exclusive behind the scenes extras. Considering there is a large majority of fans who already have the special edition that was released in 2003, you’re probably wondering what is so great about this one. (more…)
Everyone loves LEGOs, and with the swell of LEGO based games in the past few years, and the upcoming Batman and Indiana Jones titles, it seems a ripe time to take advantage of everyone’s favorite colored blocks.
In Electronic Gaming Monthly’s April edition they showed an exclusive first look at an upcoming Halo LEGO game featuring Master Chief blasting at Elite’s as he runs down a very familiar looking corridor. With the success of the recent LEGO Star Wars games it would make sense for them to take advantage of the success of both franchises. However, there is some speculation that this is all just an elaborate April Fool’s Day joke by the staff at EGM.
Sadly, it seems that it is actually a clever prank thought up by Michael Donahoe over at EGM. But for every bit of fiction there is a smidgeon of truth and perhaps Microsoft will run with this unique idea and cash in on the success of this expanding franchise.
Lego Star Wars was a huge surprise hit for many. While the idea of a good Lego game has intrigued many for years, the mix with Star Wars didn’t seem the best way to go about achieving that first big hit. Well, the many were wrong. Now, the follow-ups Lego Indiana Jones and Lego Batman arrive with quite a bit of hype. We’ve been seeing images of Lego Batman for a while now, but this image of Lego Indiana Jones sure is fun.
