By Carter Dotson on January 23rd, 2012 Telltale Games has put a variety of titles on sale, including entries from a pair of original series. Telltale Games, purveyors of fine point-and-click adventure games, are launching a 99-cent sale that they are describing as ‘epic’. The sale, set to run from January 19th until the 29th, includes a total of 11 games. Included in the sale is the Hector: Badge of Carnage series, that takes a quirky, grotesque, and profane look at police detective work through the eyes of the crude Hector. All three episodes in the series for iPad are on sale, and the last two episodes are on sale for iPhone/iPod touch. The first episode for iPhone was published by original developer Straandloop, which likely explains why it isn’t part of the sale. The Puzzle Agent series is also on sale, for those who like their adventure games a little Read More

Back in December 2010, Telltale Games released the first episode of its [$6.99] series on the iPad. No further releases have seen the light of day since, but it’s not like the studio doesn’t want to push the rest of the games out -- it still does. At least, up until this April the studio was making its intentions clear. In an official forum posting, Telltale staff member Alan Johnson said more Monkey Island episodes, as well as Back to the Future, were in the pipe. BTTF Episode 2 [$6.99] released last month on the iPad. Other staff members backed him up in this thread, stating that other, later Tales episodes have been ported to the iPad and are now in some sort of testing phase. It was a concern of more than a few MI fans after the release of the first Tales game that Telltale would abandon the series. Read More

Telltale Games adaptiert die grandiose Zemeckis-Triologie der 80er-Jahre. Trotz offizieller Lizenz spielt man hier nicht die drei Blockbuster simple nach, sondern bekommt eine individuell gestrickte Geschichte rund um Marty McFly, Doc Brown und natürlich den DeLorean geliefert. Dies ist die erste von fünf Episoden des Zeitreise-Abenteuers. Das Entwicklerstudio Telltale Games gründete sich aus alten LucasArts-Veteranen und ist im App Store bereits mit Titeln wie ‘Monkey Island Tales 1 HD‘ (5.49 €; App Store-Link) oder ‘Sam & Max Episode 1: The Penal Zone for iPad‘ (5.49 €; App Store-Link) vertreten. Für diese Produktion half Bob Gale, ehemaliger Co-Screenwriter der Original-Filme, aus. Den Charakteren spendierte man eine aufwendige Sprachausgabe. Christopher Lloyd portraitiert auch im Alter von 72 Jahren noch selbstständig sein digitales ‘Ich’ von vor knapp drei Jahrzehnten. Michael J. Fox spricht der verblüffend ähnlich klingende AJ LoCascio – dazu gilt es unbedingt das kurze ‘Behind the Scenes‘ anzuschauen! Das klassische Grafik-Adventure mit Read More

Es folgt: schlechte Presse für Spiele-Publisher Activision. Der Niederländer Martin Kool stellte unter Sarien.net bereits seit längerer Zeit alte ‘Sierra Adventures’ als Webbrowser-Spiele bereit. Sarien, ist dabei der Projektname vom ehemaligen Sierra-Adventure-Interpreter. Die Retro-Titel werden in Javascript übersetzt, womit sie sich auf jedem modernen Browser abspielen lassen. Durch eine spezielle iPad-Anpassung gewann das (absolut werbe- und kostenfreie) Bewunderer-Projekt in den letzten Wochen an Popularität und rief damit neben ein paar Enthusiasten auch Activision Blizzard auf den Plan, womit ein weiteres Fanprojekt (vorerst) ins Grass beisst… It recently has come to our attention that you have adapted a number of games from the Sierra classic library (the “Sierra Games”) for web-based and iPad play. We understand that you currently are offering these Sierra games via the website www.sarien.net (the “Website”). As you may be aware, your distribution and public performance of the .Sierra Games infringes Activision’s copyrights. (As you note on your Read More

When it comes to point-n-click adventure games, I think it’s safe to say tablets, such as the Apple iPad, are the perfect device to play such games. When it comes to those same types of games, one of the companies that I feel is delivering a solid experience in their games is Telltale Games. If you haven’t experienced games like Monkey Island Tales 1, Sam & Max, or Puzzle Agent on your iPad, now would be the perfect time to check them out as a little Telltale Games birdie just informed me that all of their titles are on sale for $2.99. It might seem strange that after all of the recent holidays and New Years sales that Telltale would all of a sudden drop the prices for their games. Although no big holidays are going on right at this moment, that is, unless you’re Australian, Telltale Games decided to drop the prices Read More

To celebrate the season a whole bunch of apps are going on sale. Here's the most comprehensive list available for which apps are seeing a discount. Last month our Thanksgiving meals were stuffed with lots of deeply discounted apps, and it seems that publishers are getting into the Christmas spirit in much the same way. We’ve got a whole slew of apps available at rock bottom prices just in time for your holiday celebrations, many at their lowest prices ever. Make sure and act fast though, as many of these apps are available for an extremely limited time. Also, be sure and keep checking this post regularly, as we’ll be updating all the new deals as they are announced. Much like Santa, we don’t stop working until Christmas, and we’re paid in milk and cookies. Speaking of, if you could leave out some chocolate chip oatmeal cookies that would be delightful.

It's a good time to be a fan of Telltale Games. If you haven't noticed already, the prices of most of Telltale's games are now a mere 99 cents on the App Store. What's the occasion, you ask? The cuts are in celebration of the release of Monkey Island Tales 1 HD [$6.99] for the iPad, Telltale tells us. And while the sale doesn't actually include the new release, it's nice to save some cash on the companies' other solid titles. Here's the full list of the games on sale: I think I think that Puzzle Agent is the most remarkable game on this list. It has its share of logic flaws, technical baggage, and interface woes, but it rises above all of it with sheer strength of character, oddness, and unique gameplay. I also think that most Sam & Max fans would agree on this same point in regards to The Penal Read More

In 2009, Telltale Games resurrected the Monkey Island series with the first Tales of Monkey Island, a classic point-and-click adventure game. Since then, original Monkey Island creator LucasArts has started rereleasing Monkey Island classics and Telltale has finished its series based on the highly-regarded IP. Both series' (including the rereleases) are successes, so it's only natural that we're seeing them on the iOS. The first Tales game, Launch of the Screaming Narwhale just hit the App Store for the iPad yesterday, actually. And like its' PC and Mac brethren, it successfully combines all the wit, the character, whimsy, and braininess of its SCUMM forerunners. But I often think that Telltale's greatest accomplishment in Launch of the Screaming Narwhal specifically is that it manages to make you feel like the franchise never died. It starts at the end of a game that was never made with an inventory filled with exotic items Read More

If being as quiet as possible about the Back to the Future episodic series was a goal of Telltale Games, well, mission accomplished. The first of five episodes is set to hit PC and Mac in December, with an iPad version slated to follow at some mysterious point after the fact. It's clearly an ambitious project. The series takes place after the events in the time-twisting third movie and boasts the on-hands support of BTTF stars, writer Bob Gale and actor Christopher Lloyd. And that's about all we know. Actually, until earlier this week, we didn't even know what the series would look like until Telltale slipped some images to IGN. Perhaps it was worth the wait because, as you can see, the game looks magnificent. Co-designer Mike Stemmle told IGN that the game takes a stylized approach and that's plain enough to see. In the above, Doc Brown and Marty's Read More

Telltale Games, the creators of Sam & Max [App Store] and Tales of Monkey Island, revealed a new iPhone-bound puzzle game last afternoon at a San Francisco-based event. It's called Puzzle Agent, and according to IGN's write-up, it seeks to jump outside the usual Telltale mold by integrating the studio's signature story-telling with Professor Layton-style, scene-based puzzles. The game's visual art is the product of former Telltale designer Graham Annable, the creator of Grickle. His pen and ink, purposefully crude approach comes through prominently in Puzzle Agent. Players will be controlling an FBI Agent named Nelson Tether and apparently will be tasked with uncovering what hidden mysteries the desolate and snow-laden Scoggins, Minnesota holds. Telltale Games started teasing Puzzle Agent via a splash page on their official website earlier this month. The page featured the Agent standing in the forefront of an old factory. A sign just behind the Tether's shoulder Read More

Adventure games have already proved to be a perfect genre for the iPhone. And just imagine how much better they would be on the iPad? Well, you don’t have to! Without any publicity or even an early hint Telltale games – the pioneer of episode based adventure games on the PC – have already released the first episode of Season 3 of their Sam & Max series on the iPad! You can grab it using the link below or check out after the gap for the description and screenshots. And no, Telltale has confirmed that no plans exist for an iPhone version. Telltale Inc, – $9.99 In addition some hot news from the recently interviewed Charles Cecil from Revolution – they are hard work on a special high quality iPad version of the best adventure game, currently on the AppStore (as per our The App Store’s Best Adventure Games) – !

The release of the iPad is finally upon us. Some of you were sitting at home, sipping your morning cup ‘o joe when your friendly FedEx man came by to drop off your iPad, while others sat outside of your local Apple Store on a milk crate for a week straight eating nothing but Doritos and Mountain Dew. Regardless of how you obtained your iPad, the important thing is that you have it. I posted an article on Friday showcasing games that were readily available for purchase on the App Store. The list covered a lot of great games from equally great publishers, but it lacked something important: My own personal picks! That’s right, this here article is a way for me to share with you what games I’ve played and recommend to new iPad owners. So without further ado, let’s get down to business. Mirror’s Edge for iPad ($12.99) – Read More

It looks like we’re officially at the home stretch for tomorrow’s release of the Apple iPad as we’re now within 24 hours of its release.  If you’ve taken the plunge and are counting down the hours until its release, this may very well be the longest couple of hours you’ve ever felt in your life.  But hold on.  Have you even thought about what apps you plan on downloading for your new bundle of joy?  More importantly, what GAMES will you be wasting countless hours on your couch playing? Apple flipped the switch yesterday to allow iPad apps to be visible on iTunes.  The thing is, there are already a ton of games available for the iPad, and it hasn’t even launched!  That’s where your ole Uncle Danny comes in.  I’ve taken the liberty of scouring the App Store for any and every iPad game you should have your eyes set Read More

Today the iPad App Store opened up, revealing a great many iPad launch titles to those itching to see what they'll be loading onto their iPads when they arrive on Saturday. The amount of iPad app news this has generated today has us feeling as if we're standing in the middle of a tornado, admittedly. And so, without a great deal of rhyme or reason, I've chosen a few iPad games, now in the App Store, to highlight, the only real criterion being that they're titles we've not recently covered and are ones that I'm personally anxious to get my hands on. So, without further ado... The iPad adaptation of Minigore sounds better than ever with 14 playable characters, "guest stars" from Hook Champ, Zombieville USA, Sway, and Envrio-Bear 2010, and redone graphics to take full advantage of the iPad's screen acreage. Freeverse's real-time strategy title is here for the iPad, Read More
