Everyone's favorite (male) archeologist is ready to make the transition to next-gen with a little help from LucasArts. The new Indiana Jones game will be based on NaturalMotion's euphoria behavioral-simulation engine that will allow for extremely realistic and interactive characters.

"By using this engine, characters will be able to react to various situations in the game, not merely by working off scripted events. For example, if certain characters find themselves on a swaying rope bridge, they will attempt to balance themselves by steadying their feet or by reaching out to the sides."

System requirements for this game will involve selling of one kidney, an eye etc.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
