A long time to wait 20 Feb, 2010 / Comments: 9

By The Tingler


At long bloody last, Lego Indiana Jones II: The Adventure Continues is now available on Steam and Direct2Drive for the reasonable sum of £19.95/$29.99.

Go buy! Y'know, if you haven't got it already.

Update by Kroms: This is marginally relevant, but if you're going to be on Steam anyways: the Penny Arcade games, which are notable for Ron Gilbert's involvement, have had their prices reduced to $4.99 each. However, it is worth mentioning that - as seems to be traditional with Ron Gilbert - there might not be an Episode Three; the games' story is, so far, incomplete. If you can handle that, the games are recommended.

    Supposedly there will be an episode 3, they're just re-jigging how they make the game as they weren't satisfied with the final product.

    Where did you hear that? The Penny Arcade community has been complaining about the lack of information from both PA and Hothead for the last year now. I don't think anyone said anything about a new episode, except for one of the PA-guys saying that the reason for not talking about it would 'make sense' somewhere in the future. The only thing Hothead said about the matter is that the second episode didn't really sell at all. All it says on the Hothead homepage is the following:

    "When making Penny Arcade Adventures: On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, we believed the game would sell millions of copies and have an incredibly long name. We were half right."

    Episode 3 also disappeared from their 'coming soon' list some months ago. I would love another episode, but I don't think there's anything coming, sadly.

    This title made me think of A Vampyre Story 2.

    But I do know it is a quote from The Last Crusade of course. My ignorance is not great enough to not to notice a thing like that.

    Haha. Seems I'm ignorant. Though, in celebration of this announcement, I decided to watch the first three Indy movies today. Gonna watch Raiders for the first time in almost three years (second time overall), Temple for the first time ever, and Crusade for the first time in 12 years.

    Crystal Skull can jump off an alien cliff.

    What about the "real Indy 4" - Treasure of The Templars?

    Too bad they've only done the first 15 minutes of it.

    You should be ashamed of yourself! You need to watch Indy more often!
