You know, games like The Secret of Monkey Island? I happened to love that genre, in fact Monkey Island is still one of my favorite games of all time. These adventure games were known for usually having great humor and clever puzzles difficult enough to make you think about it, but not so much that you want to quit. The genre slowly fell from its throne after a streak of lower quality games and the shooter genre taking over the PC. Here we are years later and at least one developer is carrying the torch, and doing it well: Telltale Games. They are the team behind the Sam and Max adventure series and also Strong Bad's Game For Attractive People, and now they got a hold of the rights for Wallace and Gromit, the successful animation series. The first episode of their Wallace and Gromit games has released for the PC and is soon coming to the XBLA… how does it fare?..."
‘Adventure games have been through quite a transition over the past 2 decades. Like so many genres throughout the noughties the humble adventure game struggled for relevance and attention. It failed to evolve and change to meet the tastes of a rapidly developing audience. Fortunately the genre has experienced a resurgence in success and interest over the last 4 years, and this recovery in large part can be attributed to the output of a single developer; Telltale Games.’
I love basically every games telltale have bought out, their story telling can only be beaten by naughty dog imo.
If you wanted to check out Telltale Games' earlier works, time has run out. The studio's version of Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures, first published in 2009, has been pulled from all digital retailers as the distribution agreement with Aardman Studios expires.
