Lego's first venture into the Indiana Jones franchise will have gamers all round Australia button mashing next winter. The game producers are hoping to cash in on the success of the Lego Star Wars phenomena that has had gamers hooked since the PS2 days. From the trailer we can see that the game play is going to be nothing new, although saying that, I did see Indy swinging from his whip (please excuse me while I endulge in a flash back* to Donkey Kong Jr on the game & watch). It is great to know that Lucas Arts have again filled the game with the humour we have come to expect from this genre. Although a little early to speculate, I'm predicting a cross platform release on Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo Wii and the PSP. Little is known about achievements or live co-op at this stage but it's clear that this will be a major appetiser that will surely appear just before the new movie. Expect to be shelling out for 2 Indiana Jones games next year people!
