Why I Loved LucasArts

FleshEatingZipper says: "'Here,' dad said, swiveling to the opposite end of his elbow-shaped desk and grabbing a booklet, “you’ll need to read this before I let you play.” It was the instruction manual for LucasArts’ Star Wars: X-Wing, a complicated space sim that was loaded to the gills with commands. In those days, a joystick was a fixture of PC gaming.

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.

Snookies12504d ago (Edited 504d 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!

hotnickles503d 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.

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.
