Lucas Arts has decided to resurrect Indiana Jones and propel him to the next generation. Indiana Jones (working title), the game is being developed for the Xbox 360 and the PS3 by Lucas Arts in collaboration with George Lucas (who’s handling the game’s script). The game will use the much hyped Euphoria engine for advanced A.I. behaviour and an extremely advanced Physics technology called Digital Molecular Matter (DEM). DEM will cause objects in the game world to react exactly how their counterparts in the real world would. While this doesn’t sound all that impressive, since it’s been done by games like Half-Life 2 and F.E.A.R, it seems Lucas Arts has something totally revolutionary (truly next-gen if you may) up their sleeve. Besides all this technical chutzpah, the game will feature “brawling, lethal traps, artifacts and moments of death-defying coolness” . For more info, check out

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
