Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?

To tie in with the recently released Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, LucasArts is bringing out Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures on a plethora of platforms in Australia this week. Each of the three original movies has been divided up into six chapters, with a total of 18 levels. All up, there are 60 playable characters to unlock, ranging from Short Round to the Grail Knight. Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures comes out this Wednesday on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, PSP, PlayStation 2, Wii, and DS.

Despite not being licensed after the movie, Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy expands the Bourne universe. For those unfamiliar with the franchise, it follows the tale of Jason Bourne, a US government assassin who is pulled out of the water suffering from amnesia. As Jason begins to remember who he is, the CIA send hit men after him and the story follows as he tries to get to the bottom of his past. Similar to the films, hand-to-hand combat plays a big role in the fighting, and players can swap between gun play and martial arts by simply running up to enemies. Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy is out this Thursday on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Other titles worth a mention this week include Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Game of the Year Edition for PlayStation 3, Lost Planet: Extreme Conditions Colonies on the 360 and PC, and finally, Quake Wars: Enemy Territory for the 360 and PS3.

    It is also good to see the new Indiana Jones movie where Harrison Ford is still starring the movie at a very old age though.
