An excerpt from the latest issue of NGamer, an interview with Traveller's Tales' Arthur Parsons:

"NGamer: Do you see the wider DC universe making it into Lego form? The Justice League could be good.

Arthur Parsons: Whether any more of the DC universe makes the transition into Lego depends largely on the success of Lego Batman, and on whether Traveller's Tales, Warner Bros. and Lego want to make any other characters into Lego games. I'd love to make a sequel to Lego Batman because it was immense fun to work on."

Softpedia: It's been a while since the last Lego title and, with the launch of this new and thrilling Indiana Jones movie, we just had to have a game as well. A Lego character fills in Harrison Ford's shoes perfectly and there is no better company out there than Traveller's Tales to do this job. LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures takes the fun of Lego and combines it with the wittiness and non-stop action from the original cinematic adventures.

Taking a unique tongue-in-cheek approach, LEGO Indiana Jones follows Dr. Jones from the jungles of South America to the mountaintops of India. All the characters you remember from the original series will be there to support him, while the players are offered the possibility to mix and match various body parts of more than 60 playable characters to create new heroes. What more could you possibly want?

You wouldn't believe the smiles spreading around here when LucasArts announced plans for an Indiana Jones LEGO game. It's the one series of movies (after Star Wars) that we've been itching to see brought to the world of plastic bricks. We know the game will cover all three existing Indiana Jones movies, but to date we've only been given a sneak glimpse of scenes from the films that will make the transition to the LEGO world. So, putting on our dirty brown fedora and pretending we're hot shit ... » Read More
