50% off Telltale collections on Steam this Weekend
by Sam Naylor on May 14, 2009 at 10:29 am
Telltale games is 5 years old! To celebrate, Steam is featuring a sale on their season packs: Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People, Sam & Max Season One and Sam & Max Season Two. My advice is to get Sam and Max, both seasons if you can afford it. Although I haven’t played Strong Bad, I do know that the Sam and Max games are some of the funniest games to be released in recent years.
Telltale Games To Create Episodic Wallace and Gromit Game
by Andrew Podolsky on July 24, 2008 at 3:28 pm
Straight out of San Diego comes the latest comic-book animation and videogame news: Telltale Games, who have made two seasons of Sam and Max episodic games and are working on the Homestar Runner Wiiware game, have announced they’ll be creating a series of games based on Wallace and Gromit.
Wallace and Gromit are a British man-and-best-friend team that have held a number of odd jobs across their short films, including window washers, sheep shearers, and astronauts. Telltale CEO Dan Connors told the Associated Press that they’ll stay true to the short films and 2005 movie, but no word yet on whether these will be action-based or adventure-based games.
W&G is a beloved series by many, so hopefully Telltale Games will be careful to keep fans on board by carefully matching the series’ humor, wit, and art style. As soon as we have the first concrete info on this intriguing new game, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Sam and Max visit Stuttgart’s creatures of the nightclub
Thank goodness, I was worried there for a bit. After the lackluster Moai Better Blues, which was a bit on the short side, the latest Sam and Max episode brings the comedic adventure series back to where it belongs. In Night of the Raving Dead, you’ve got some of the best music in the series so far, a great new villain, and plenty of interesting puzzles. Read more…
