Dan Liebman writes: "Confounding puzzles aside, "Fright of the Bumblebees" functions nicely as an adventure game for just about any audience or age group. The humor is varied, the gameplay is accessible, and the challenge is substantial without being frustrating. The review build of the game had a few problems, such as its inclination to crash suddenly, but hopefully this will be patched up in time for the final PC and Xbox Live Arcade release. Buy it, enjoy it, and wait for the next few episodes to reveal themselves."
GamerZines: Telltale Games' Dan Connors has revealed that his company makes nearly 40% of its revenue from the various console platforms, proving that it's worth porting the likes of Sam & Max and Monkey Island to the PS3, 360 and Wii.
"We generally launch with one console partner during the run of the season, and usually does about 40 per cent of the revenue," Explained the CEO in a recent interview.
I love Sam and Max. I got the PC version but I caved in and also bought the PS3 version.
Following Sony's announcements of the April Foolishness Sale and PSP Favourites promotion earlier this week, Microsoft has today revealed a cost-cutting activity of their own. From today, eight top titles held on the Xbox 360's Xbox LIVE Arcade are available for half-price, and two further titles are set to be greatly reduced. These sale prices are limited however, available for only seven days.
... and nothing on that list really interests me. Bit of a disappointment.
When the hell are they finally gonna discount TrialsHD!?
Well, I'm partly glad they actually didn't lessen the prices of XBLA games I've been wanting for a while because I didn't take my 360 away with me over this week.
...it's not "inventory", if it's only available as a digital download. Just sayin'....
