Now that the Xbox version of Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb has been released you may expect to get some PC version reviews of the games. And the first 2 PC previews are already online. Both IGN and GameSpot had a look at the upcoming PC version and share their thoughts with us while showing some new screenshots as well. Here follows a part from GameSpot's preview concerning the keyboard and mouse controls:

You will be able to block incoming attacks by pressing the shift key, which will also automatically lock onto a specific enemy and let Indy focus his attacks. As you might expect from his many motion-picture adventures, Indy fights like a brawler, though pressing both mouse buttons also lets him grab his enemies, then shove them back against walls or even toss them off of ledges...
