The next Telltale Games project is Fables

March 28, 2013 at 10:30 am | 10 Comments

It’s good to be Telltale Games right now. After hitting all the right chords with some nostalgic new takes on Sam & Max, as well as Monkey Island, the studio then received too damn much praise for their adaptation of The Walking Dead. And while a second season is on the way for that hit series, they’ll also be tackling some fairy tales soon, as they adapt Fables into a new set of games.

Your decisions from Walking Dead season 1 may survive into season 2

January 8, 2013 at 1:00 pm | 7 Comments

If there’s one thing that I have learnt from playing The Walking Dead episodic quick-time event, it’s that I am a horrible, horrible person. Even though I insist that using Clementine as a strap-on zombie shield would have been brilliant. Decisions made in that game carried weight, and with a sequel on the cards, Telltale Games is looking to carry the impact of those choices, into season two.

8.5 Million Walking Dead episodes served

January 7, 2013 at 10:30 am | 14 Comments

Telltale’s take on the Walking Dead is excellent, and one of last year’s most compelling video game experiences. It’s elevated storytelling within the medium of videogames beyond a level many thought possible – and if you’ve managed to play through the entirety of the first season without some emotional stirring, you’re either a psychopath, or dead. To wit, it’s really bloody good, and it shows in the sales figures.

Telltale Games’ ‘The Walking Dead’ and the Power of Storytelling

The Zombie Apocalypse has already happened, only not a way any of us really expected: It's spread from games to comics, from films to TV series.

TellTale wants to bring a Spielberg feel to their Jurassic Park game

September 29, 2011 at 12:15 pm | 6 Comments

When it comes to gaming and movies, you’d be hard pressed to find a developer as dedicated to the medium as TellTale Games. The studio went all out for their episodic Back to the Future games, emphasising key aspects of the classic film trilogy into their adaptation, and now they’re looking at designing their version of Jurassic Park to feature some iconic “Spielberg moments”.

Telltale sheds some light on The Walking Dead game

July 27, 2011 at 2:30 pm | 2 Comments

You’ve got to love Telltale Games. They’ve effectively managed to build themselves a great reputation in a decidedly niche gaming genre, adapting such iconic properties like Lucasarts classics such as Sam & Max and Monkey Island, as well as silver screen cult classic, Back to the future. For their next title however, the studio is going to be tackling the popular comic and hit TV series, The Walking dead.

Hector:Badge of Carnage Review- We negotiate with terrorists

June 23, 2011 at 3:30 pm | 1 Comment

Meet Hector. He’s a smelly, grumpy and rude man who drinks too much beer and eats too much curry. Also, he’s the good guy, a detective charged with keeping the peace and the community safe. Its just a pity that he actually hates the community and is more interested in finding himself an inexpensive prostitute for the night.

The new Jurassic Park title from the beloved Telltale's Games' studios has now been pushed back to the United States' fall release period.

Marty McFly Voice Actor Nails It for Back to the Future Game

October 25, 2010 at 2:00 pm | 4 Comments

Last month we told you about the episodic Back to the Future point and click adventures from masters of the genre Telltale Games. We were pretty excited by the fact that they’d manage to secure the likenesses of Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox, with Lloyd actually reprising his role as the sieve-headed Doctor Emmett Brown.

Those worried that they’ve NEVER get somebody to sound even remotely like Michael J. Fox are in for a pleasant surprise. In a feat or rather serendipitous casting, the developers found AJ LoCascio, who does a pretty damned astonishing McFly.

The game will be set 6 months after the final movie in the trilogy – and has Marty McFly searching for Doc Brown in some brand new time settings.

Telltale’s Great Adventure Bundle 2010 is just that – Great!

September 13, 2010 at 1:00 am | 2 Comments

The team behind recent episodic adventure games like Tales of Monkey Island and Sam & Max have released their Adventure Bundle for 2010. If you head on over to Telltale’s website you can score yourself roughly R900 worth of games ($120) for just R150 (or $19.95). The bundle includes The Whispered World, The King’s Quest Collection (which has the first six games in it), the first episode of Penny Arcade: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Jack Keane, Sam & Max Season 2 and Puzzle Agent. The last two titles in the list unlock once the bundle has sold a certain amount, but at the time of writing, Puzzle Agent has already been unlocked; Sam & Max should follow shortly as soon as 5000 bundles have sold.

Telltale’s Back to the Future Games Bring in Awesome Talent

September 2, 2010 at 3:15 pm | 2 Comments

Back to the Future is one of my favourite film-franchises. Unlike most nostalgia trips from the 80’s, Back to the future stands the test of time – and is still eminently watchable.

Telltale Games recently announced that they’d be making a series of point and click adventures based on the trilogy – and unlike many others’ attempts at reviving venerated classics, it doesn’t seem like Telltale will be pissing all over your memories.

You May Have A Wii In Your Pocket With An iPhone

July 30, 2009 at 4:00 pm | 2 Comments

So despite their popularity, lets face it we all know that Nintendo's Wii and DS are terribly underpowered. Another known fact is that cellular gaming is becoming more and more popular especially when it comes to the iPhone. Now when I came across the following piece of literature, I was quite intrigued and I hope you guys will be ready with some critical comments. Anyway, apparently Telltale Games have also been criticizing Nintendo's hardware.
