Anyways, check it out. It's got some good new info, and it's
*(Someday, I won't have a typo.)
woot?
Many a wannabe designer has tried, but few have done it. That is, completing a fangame. Zak McKracken 2, after 7 years in development, has been completed and is now available here.
Unfortunately, it's only in German right now. They are apparently looking for English speaking people to do the lines for the English version, so if you think you can do it, get in touch with them!
Another new Indy-related pixel has appeared on the interwebs and, as you know, it's our duty to report on it!
Here you go: Indy IV TV spot.
UPDATE by la Tingler: Fortunately for us who value quality, IndianaJones.com has finally put up the latest TV Spot in HD Quicktime!

The release for A2M's Indy game is currently scheduled to coincide with the Crystal Skull home video release.A2M's Indy game, which has not been officially announced and has only ever been mentioned from Surfer Girl's blog, is the supposed Indy equivalent of Krome Studios' version of The Force Unleashed. In other words, the Wii/PS2 non-LucasArts developed version.
RPS: Is it strange to be back so close to Sam & Max after all these years?Read the whole interview for important facts such as what Stemmle's been up to between Freelance Police and employment at Telltale, some rather perturbing revelations about Sean Clark's hair, and his secret ambition to take on a Maniac Mansion sequel someday. Could Sam & Max: Season 3 be any more anticipated?
Mike: Strange, vertiginous, and somewhat disturbingly erotic. I keep expecting someone to tap me on the shoulder, yell "psyche!", and hit me with a two-by-four. I'm sure this'll pass.
BOX VERSION:You'll note that there's still no announced publisher for a retail North American release just yet, but hopefully that could still change.

One of the gears in our machinery went missing today and all that was left was a hankie with the word Petite Pettitt Pettit written on it. Quite mysterious!
Fortunately we were able to use a combination of Gabez's fingers and Spaff's long dead eyes to create a new gear.
Mojo, the only site that uses body parts of current and former staff to bring you the latest news!
If that doesn't sate your Indy hunger, how about the news that in exactly one month from today the new Indy film will be released after 19 years of waiting?
To celebrate, Mojo is pleased to announce Indy Month 2, which may or may not last longer than an actual month. We've got plenty of reviews and features lined up to celebrate, and it'll all kick off soon with the next part of our LucasArts' Secret History series on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
And if you're not an Indy fan, don't worry, we'll still have regular News, our wacky Forums, and the rest of the Secret History series. Mojo: the place to be!
"LucasArts has a long tradition of rather weedy protagonists, like Guybrush Threepwood, Bernard Bernoulli, and (if your memory stretches that far back) the somewhat second-rate reporter Zak McKracken. Such down-to-earth characters allow you to easily convey the fact that there's nothing remotely worthy about them, and to keep the spotlight firmly on God."
Asked how soon we might see an original project, Connors replied, "I'd say the earliest would be 10 months, and the longest would probably be 18 months. We can do so many games in a year, so an original is reasonable to squeeze in there somewhere."You can check out the whole piece here.
Schafer has said that he wants the game to feature a proper streaming open world with wildlife and cool places to explore -things that he attempted in Psychonauts- but wants to do justice to in this game. With the kind of imagination gone into the lore of this world, it's hard to imagine it failing.There's lots of great info in the preview, so do read it. Also included are a batch of screenshots, several of which look unfamiliar to me (but could also be in that IGN preview from a few months back that I don't feel like checking). The point is, this link leads to a preview for Brütal Legend.

A multiplayer mode has also been confirmed, but concrete details have yet to emerge. The only thing we know is that it will most likely focus on large scale battles. Interestingly the core battle mechanic of the main game was devised during the early stages of development, as the multiplayer was the first aspect of the game to be designed.
The Swedish publisher Paradox Interactive has announced that they have negotiated a deal with Crimson Cow to publish A Vampyre Story in Scandinavia.
The Spanish adventure game The Abbey is also a part of that deal.
The Abbey will be released in May while Nordic gamers will have to wait till August for A Vampyre Story.
205 - What's New, Beelzebub? is now also available over at Telltale's site.
Let the long wait for season 3 begin...
This guy on this online community I visit is pretty into turning NES tunes into proper songs. I don't think he's done any other MM tunes though, he says they're pretty difficult.Give the tune a listen!
You've been waiting for this since the first time you heard that Telltale's reviving the Sam & Max franchise as an episodic game series, and here it is!
Gamespot reports that Telltale's confirmed that the first season of Sam & Max is heading for Nintendo's Wii this fall in both North-America and Europe.It's an easy target for reviews to go, "Well, they tried to do two types of gameplay, and they should have just done one." You sort of see this snowball effect where people just fall in line with that. In the same breath, those same people are always screaming for innovation in this industry and different types of games.Read the rest here.
"I couldn't be more excited to join such a dynamic and innovative company as LucasArts," states Rodriguez. "The people are world class and the IP is the best in the business. To be able to work with such cultural icons as Star Wars and Indiana Jones and develop new franchises is like a dream come true."As pointed out in forums by Haggis, no mention of the historical original IP. Nor any specific mention of Indiana Jones 2015 though Force Unleashed, Fracture and LEGO Indy Jones are discussed.
