Indiana Jones

By Stephen Totilo This is what you'd write your thesis about: Pro wrestling is already an odd blend of fake sport and acted drama, something fans appreciate as real and unreal at the same time (We know that John Cena is a man really named John Cena, but we also know that the Undertaker is not really a man who has r...

By Owen Good Here's the Nepal bar shootout scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark, for Lego Indiana Jones 2. I guess the Lego-talk gibberish can't get across the sequence's subtle implication that Dr. Jones was boinking Marion when she 16. Then again, it's rated E10+, so maybe we should just let Marion's fist...

By AJ Glasser Speaking of which, someone pointed out to me the irony in having Alfred Molina play a comic relief character in an Indiana Jones-esque film. I'd completely forgotten that he's the guy in Raiders of the Lost Ark with the famous line "Throw me idol, I'll throw you the whip." How about that.

By Owen Good • INDIANA JONES and the FATE of ATLANTIS (PC and Mac, 1992, 11 years older than Falcon Henne): A key sequence in this LucasArts SCUMM classic was constructing a makeshift hot-air balloon to land Indy aboard a Nazi U-boat, as the story lurched toward its inevitable conclusion undersea.

By AJ Glasser So, really, if you love Indiana Jones even a little bit, you owe it to yourself to check out LEGO Indy 2. It's not a glorified expansion pack,;it's not a LittleBigPlanet wannabe. It's Indiana Jones meets LEGO just like it's supposed to be – and it's looking so much better than the first game.

By Mike Fahey The Lego series lost me after the first Star Wars game was released. Batman was interesting, and nostalgic, but not that much fun to play.

By Luke Plunkett Back at GDC in 2006, Lucasarts showed off some footage of a "next-gen" Indiana Jones game. It looked great!

By Brian Crecente A lot of people are comparing the latest movie to their memories or the overheard nostalgia of the first three movies.
