Out of Eight writes: "When last we saw our lovable anti-hero in Episode 1, Strong Bad had done his best to ruin the good name of hated rival Homestar Runner. Now he's up against the King of Town, who has issued an uncharacteristically evil email tax. The tax is both IMMEDIATE and RETROACTIVE, so Strong Bad is collared with a custom fit exploding necklace and placed under house arrest. Unable to send or receive a single freakin' email, Strong Bad is given no other choice but to escape, secede and start his own country of Strong Badia.
Vivid 3D characters faithfully recreate the look of the 2D flash-animated cartoon. Chalk it up to the simple design of Homestar Runner, but it's a thousand times more effective than Homer Simpson's eerie cell-shaded head in Simpsons Hit & Run. Unfortunately, some of the locations don't translate well to an adventure game. They seem sparse compared to the intricate, pre-rendered backgrounds of other titles. Where Strong Bad really shines is the dialog, wonderfully written and performed by the show's creator. The music fits the lighthearted mood of the series, and I'm especially fond of the Bleak House retro MIDI dirge."
AMO has just reviewed all five episodes of Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People on Nintendo Wii:
"Telltale Game’s first attempt at making a game for a console (alongside a PC version), Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People did one of two things: if you were like me, you probably saw it and thought it looked bright and funny, maybe staring a wrestler with a Mexican accent and involving all kinds of shenanigans. For anyone who would spare a bit of time to check out Homestarrunner.com though, it was a dream come true. And so, while it may be a bit late, let’s take a look back at The Brother Chaps’ and Telltale Games’ joint game “for cool and attractive people – but you can play too!”"
From Gamertell:
"Telltale Inc. today (February 11, 2010) confirmed during the Macworld 2010 expo that it will, indeed, be releasing games for Mac.
Even better, the releases begin today (February 11, 2010) with Tales of Monkey Island."
Games can also vote on the next Telltale series style game to be release in March for Mac.
Gamertell is reporting that it has reliable information that Telltale may be planning on releasing its entire library of games for Mac.
The company's current titles are available for Windows and some are also available for Wii and/or Xbox 360.
"Telltale’s current lineup includes the Sam & Max series Tales of Monkey Island, Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People, Bone and Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Adventures..."
It will only be interesting when NEW games are going to be developed for the Mac.
