1981 saw the release of a little action movie called Raiders of the Lost Ark. This new Lucasfilm title was written by The Empire Strikes Back's Lawrence Kasdan, based on a story by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman, directed by industry icon Steven Spielberg, and starring Harrison Ford as the titular Indiana Jones. Raiders of the Lost Ark seems like a sure-fire hit in hindsight, but before release, audiences didn't express too much interest.
Thankfully, Raiders was immensely successful, becoming the highest-grossing movie of 1981, and spawning three (soon to be four) Indiana Jones sequels. Along with these sequels, the Indiana Jones brand would go on to be used in a number of spin-offs, including a pretty expansive catalog of video games. Though there are some poorer offerings, the majority of Indiana Jones titles are actually pretty solid, even those dating back to the early 1980s.

From his earliest gaming memories playing Spyro 2 on the PlayStation, to being obsessed with the swing-out animations in Marvel's Spider-Man, Cameron has always been, and continues to be, in love with video games.
What started as frenzied childhood discussions on Star Wars Battlefront 2 has transitioned into somewhat less frenzied breakdowns on...Star Wars Battlefront 2. It's fair to say that video games are an integral part of Cameron's life, and hopefully they'll continue to be.
