Alltern8 writes:"I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that Telltale's unique brand of episodic gaming has become a monthly treat between which I keenly await the next. Just as Sam & Max and Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People did before it, Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures provides a 3-4 hour dose of adventure gaming bliss. The periodic structure works perfectly for these titles; were the episodes longer and selling at a full retail price, I'd probably be inclined to see through the rose-tinted haze of nostalgia and be more objective of the limited replay value that often betrays the genre once known as point 'n' click."
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.

Their games are actually episodic, so really, you'll be getting an episode. And, as they say, 'the first taste is free.'"
