Why Robin Makes Batman Better Take a look at how well Telltale is handling being responsible for the continuation of one of the most beloved adventure game franchises of all time.
Prepare to meet your frosty, carbonated maker in this E3 trailer for Telltale’s Tales of Monkey Island.
With LucasArts busy recreating The Secret of Monkey Island, Telltale is bringing us Tales of Monkey Island, an episodic adventure that picks up where the fifth Monkey Island game left off.
The rumours of a remake of the original Monkey Island for Xbox Live Arcade are true, but it gets much better, as LucasArts and Telltale team up to deliver all-new episodic Monkey Island adventures.
Nintendo’s addition of SD memory card play to the Nintendo Wii has done amazing things for WiiWare developers, with Telltale announcing that sales of their Strong Bad series have doubled since the GDC announcement.
For those who don’t read/follow comics that closely, know that the Eisner awards are, for want of a better metaphor, the Oscars of comics. Know also that Sam & Max are up for one!
Telltale brings their dog and rabbity-thing adventures to a whole new audience, announcing both seasons of the award-winning Sam & Max series for Xbox Live Arcade.
Telltale Games has been churning out the episodes of their Sam & Max and Strong Bad series; GameSetWatch talked to Mike Stemmle, LucasArts veteran and current Telltale writer and designer, about the Telltale design process, the veteran-friendly atmosphere (unsurprisingly, the Telltale ranks are full of other LucasArts veterans), and the potentials for non-licensed IP. On the inner workings of Telltale, Stemmle has this to say:
Telltale, creators of the Sam & Max episodic adventure series, announced a collector’s DVD set for Sam & Max Season Two available today, packed with tons of extras. Telltale’s announcement focuses on the game’s collector’s edition getting the same treatment that a TV series boxset would.
The Season Two Collector’s DVD comes with all five PC games from the series, plus “hours” of region-free video with special features, developer commentary, a Christmas video short feature, promo trailers, concept art, desktop wallpapers and a MP3 soundtrack sampler.
Additionally, if you already bought the Sam & Max Season Two downloadable set, Telltalle will give you the Collector’s DVD for shipping and handling costs only. It’s $US 34.95 for the rest of ya, and should ship in August, the company says.
Full announcement follows the jump.
