Gamertell has posted a positive review of Telltale Games' (and Aardman Animations') latest Wallace and Gromit game, The Last Resort.
From the review:
"[T]he duo and the rest of their town are ready for a nice beach vacation or holiday as they say in jolly ol' England. The problem is, the forecast says rain all summer long. No good.
Wallace comes up with the great idea to make a beach resort right in his own basement. He then decides that everyone in town would enjoy his resort and soon he has his own little business. Which, of course comes with problems...
I thought this one was better than the first Wallace & Gromit game (Fright of the Bumblebee) by a mile. For example, you get to know all the characters more intimately and interact with them more. In the first game, you talked to a few people but didn't really get to the know the characters. You mainly interacted with Gromit."
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.
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.
BeefJack writes: "Telltale games, the dudes behind Sam & Max, Wallace and Grommit and the new Tales of Monkey Island games, want to give you a free game. You probably want a free game. See how this relationship works out so well?
Their games are actually episodic, so really, you'll be getting an episode. And, as they say, 'the first taste is free.'"
