While Guybrush Threepwood is returning in a new title and a relaunched classic later this week from Telltale Games and Lucasarts as Eva mentioned, today the big news was regarding the return of a number of classic Lucasarts Adventure games (The Dig and LOOM being the best news) and more than a few of their not-quite-as-old franchise action titles like Star Wars: Republic Commando, Star Wars Battlefront II and the various Indiana Jones titles are making their way to Valve’s digital distribution system, Steam on July 8th.

The complete annotated list includes:

• Armed and Dangerous™
• Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis
• Indiana Jones® and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure
• LEGO® Indiana Jones: The Original Adventure
• LOOM™
• Star Wars Battlefront® II
• Star Wars Republic Commando®
• Star Wars Starfighter™
• The Dig®
• Thrillville®: Off the Rails™

It definitely looks like Lucasarts is trying to recapture the the glory days of the company before it became the “bad” Star Wars game and LEGO tie-in company. The games will be released on the Xbox 360 via Live! as well.

There are a few more games I’d love to see make this list like the Maniac Mansion games, or Grim Fandango – by Tim Schafer – lately the mind behind Psychonauts and Brutal Legend.  Till then however I think I might just consider picking up another copy of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and LOOM.

One of the games I’m really looking forward to this fall is Double Fine’s Brutal Legend. If you’ve been living under a rock somewhere and haven’t heard about it, Brutal Legend tells the story of Eddie Riggs, the “World’s Greatest Roadie,” who is transported into a world where he becomes a rock hero.

Riggs uses the power of heavy metal to build and repair things throughout the world, as well as to vanquish his foes with a variety of axes, both with blades and strings.

It’s a game that features plenty of heavy metal, and even has Lemmy from Motorhead in a speaking role. Riggs, of course, is voiced by the inimitable Jack Black. In fact, Gamestop is offering an exclusive in-game Tenacious D guitar to people who pre-order the game.

However, it could have been very different, according to designer Tim Schafer. In an interview with Eurogamer, Schafer reveals that executives were pushing for Brutal Legend to be focused on hip-hop or country music, rather than heavy metal.

More from Tim after the break.
