People play with Legos and also play Lego-based PC games. A lot. That is the likely reason why the Lego Group has signed a new deal today with game developer Traveller's Tales to continue their previous licensing agreement to make more Lego-based games until the year 2016. Financial terms were not disclosed

Traveller's Tales, owned by Warner Bros. Interactive, had a massive critical and sales hit with their Lego Star Wars game. Since then the developer has sold almost 50 million units of its Lego based games which also include Lego Indiana Jones and Lego Batman. Their next projects are Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars which will be released later in 2010.

For all those Indiana Jones fans who can't get enough of these LEGO Indiana Jones 2 videos parodying scenes from the movies, this one takes one from The Last Crusade. This is your chance to see Sean Connery in all his LEGO glory. The game is available in stores now.

Those that were amused by the earlier LEGO Indiana Jones 2 video, where the Nepal Bar scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark was redone with a LEGO treatment and shown alongside the movie footage, might also enjoy this new one. It's only fitting that it parodies one of the final scenes, and probably one of the most memorable ones, from Raiders... although, people looking forward to seeing some plastic face melting might be disappointed. LEGO Indiana Jones 2 releases tomorrow.

This week we get a second Lego game version of a famous adventurer, the first expansion pack to one of the biggest PC games of the year, and a weird merge between a Japanese RPG maker and a casual games developer. Oh, and Left 4 Dead 2.

Left 4 Dead 2: Valve's 2008 zombie co-op shooter gets a quick sequel as we follow a new set of four characters as they try to avoid being part of the undead apocalypse in the New Orleans area. New weapons, new melee items, new zombie bosses and new gameplay modes are all a part of the sequel.

As a treat for Indiana Jones fans, this is the LucasArts put together this video using footage from the bar scene from the original movie Raiders of the Lost Ark. The scene is played out in LEGO style at the same time so fans can see how the two measure up against each other. LEGO Indiana Jones 2 will release on November 17th.

This developer video for LEGO Indiana Jones 2 runs through some of the game's many new features. The story covers plots from the Indiana Jones films, including Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but will not have any repeat material from the previous game. The sequel will also include a two-player co-op mode and the ability to literally build a mission using LEGO pieces. The game is expected to release later this fall, but those that want to relive the fun from the first game can download the demo here.

Some legends never die. Others are immortalized with interlocking plastic bricks, as demonstrated with this trailer for LEGO Indiana Jones 2. In the upcoming sequel, fans can play through wacky LEGO scenes inspired by the original movie trilogy and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. There are also game-only creatures, like the fifty foot statue that chases Indie Indy and his friends. Additionally, players will be able to build their own adventures in the LEGO style. The game is expected to release this fall, and gamers that want to be reminded what LEGO Indiana Jones is all about can download the demo for the first game here.

The rumors seem to be true. today LucasArts announced that they are prepping a sequel to 2008's family-oriented action game Lego Indiana Jones. The sequel will once again be developed by Traveller's Tales (masters of all things in Lego games) and is due out this fall for the PC and many other platforms.

From the press release it seems like this will be a combo sequel-remake as it will feature gamers playing through the plots of the first three Indiana Jones movies just like the first game did. However Lego Indiana Jones 2 will also add the fourth (and crappiest) movie in the series, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. LucasArts is also promising a level editor for the game as well. It will be the first time that any Lego game will have level creation support.
