The Zapper!: "Project LMNO"

Boom Blox was a fun party game. But that didn't exactly put me in the "Ooo Ooo what will Spielberg do with games next?" camp. So I had no idea Project LMNO was even a thing. But I would be remiss if I didn't take the chance to toss a barb Crystal Skulls was even though it's a different form of entertainment.
Apparently project LMNO was going to be a game about a secret agent during World War II or as industry veteran Jake Kazdal put it "James Bond meets Medal Of Honor". The problem apparently as the game wasn't really moving, and Pandemic's 'The Saboteur', which has a very similar guiding idea, has already been released. So from EA's perspective "what's the point"? And fwoomp, game done.
Now before some one comes in and lays down the Indiana Jones law on me. If I take Indiana Jones out of the equation Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls wasn't a horrible movie. It just didn't feel like Indiana Jones to me. Sure there's some mystical stuff going on in the previous movies. It felt somehow more sensible. **shrugs** Just my opinion there. Sorry if I grumpied any of you up over my Indiana Jones purism.
