Don’t you just love it when a developer treats a renowned film series with the respect it deserves?

There was another very familiar face there, too, in the form of Marcus Brody.

Speaking of the films, I must mention the maps.

A blessed find, indeed.

Losing stamina doesn’t seem to make Indy fall from walls, though.

There is one unfortunate ‘but’ to all of this, though.
