Missing@E3: Indiana Jones and the Vanished Game

One notable absence from LucasArts E3 room was any presence of Indiana Jones whatsoever. While they were highly touting
Star Wars: The Clone Wars,
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and
Fracture, they didn't even have a poster featuring a silhouette of Indy and the Hat anywhere to be seen. Not only that, but LucasArts employees visibly bristled whenever we asked about it. "No comment" stung us like a whip several times.
Matt Shell, marketing manager at LucasArts, finally let us know that yes, they're working on something. However, they didn't want to talk about it at all. It just seems odd that they have one of the highest grossing movies of the year, based on one of their most iconic properties, and they don't even want to show us a photo of a whip and say "It's in the game." Jump on that opportunity, Lucas! Especially after you were honking your Euphoria physics engine
so loud in 2006.
