Farewell LucasArts

"On Wednesday the 3rd, 2013 the publisher and developer best known for it’s superb games released from the early 90′s all the way up to the mid 2000′s shut down.

Still in the early stages. We won't get a reveal until two more years probably 😂

I wish they would make another Riddick, Butchers Bay was the best.

You know what games I want way more than Indiana Jones? The darkness and Riddick.

Snookies12527d ago (Edited 527d ago )

Haha, completely agree... But, the fact that he is involved in this is a definitely a positive sign! Could actually be a good game!

hotnickles526d ago

You might be right. Indiana Jones will never do Jackie or Riddick stuff though. The darkness was brutal on the eyes and ears lol.

Leeroyw527d ago

The Darkness was an underrated gem. Fantastic lore and Mike patton from Faith No More voicing the darkness is up there with the great video game voice overs imo.
