 If Family Adventure Has a Name, It Must Be LEGO® Indiana Jones: The Videogame    

LucasArts and TT Games Don Their Fedoras for the Next Great LEGO Gaming Experience    

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- July 27, 2007 -- LucasArts and TT Games today announced that LEGO® Indiana Jones®: The Videogame [working title] will whip onto game consoles everywhere in summer 2008. Developed by the same team at Traveller's Tales that created the LEGO Star Wars™ series, LEGO Indiana Jones presents a tongue-in-cheek take on the first three cinematic adventures of pop culture's most iconic archaeologist, including Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.    

"LucasArts and TT Games are setting the bar for next-generation family entertainment with the LEGO Star Wars franchise, and our incredible relationship continues with LEGO Indiana Jones," said Jim Ward, president of LucasArts. "In addition to providing the quality bonding time inspired by any good family game, LEGO Indiana Jones delivers something a little different for everyone. Parents will enjoy the humorous take on some of their favorite movies, and their kids get some rousing action/adventure gameplay that may also introduce them to Indy's original adventures for the first time."    

"It has been a real joy to work with LucasArts on the LEGO Star Wars games. Indiana Jones is the perfect character for the next LEGO-based videogame adventure," said Tom Stone, director at TT Games. "Indy also presents us with wonderful and memorable cinematic moments. The boulder scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark in LEGO is hilarious!"    

Lucasfilm Ltd. recently announced that the LEGO Group will begin releasing LEGO Indiana Jones playsets in January 2008. Meanwhile, LucasArts remains hard at work on its revolutionary, internally developed Indiana Jones videogame, which takes place a year after The Last Crusade in an original story overseen by George Lucas.

I told my friend about this game, and he brought up an interesting point: A giant LEGO boulder (or any kind of sphere) is a bit of an oxy-moron.

Did you see the trailer? There is one. It looks about like one would expect.

Hey if they could make the Death Star, why not a boulder?

Hm, I need to check out the trailer. Also, I didn't play LEGO Star Wars, but I might pick up the one with all 6 movies.

I'm more excited to hear about the actual Lego Indiana Jones sets!  My brother is a real Lego nut and I somewhat live vicariously through him.  He has quite a few old Adventurers sets that would compliment well with the real deal.
