EL33TONLINE: News tag archive: telltalegames
It’s once again that time of the week when we take a virtual tour of all the new content on the US PlayStation Store. While the latest update doesn’t compare to what we’ve seen in recent weeks, there’s still plenty of shiny new stuff to keep you entertained.
Most of us have fond memories of dressing up as pirates as kids and brandishing a makeshift sword in our friends’ faces. The good news is that piratey fun doesn’t have to be relegated to our childhood, and seeing as though today is ‘International Talk Like a Pirate Day’, we’ve got a great excuse to indulge our imaginations and summon up the buccaneer within us!
When you’re not purposely slurring your speech or racking your brain to find the best ‘arr’ puns, you may want to play some pirate-themed games. Xbox Live has a dedicated Pirate Day portal where you can find a complete list of all the piratey content on this platform including avatar items, Zune movies and XBLA games.
Late last week Telltale Games (Sam & Max, Tales of Monkey Island) confirmed that not only is the development team working on episodic game adaptations of comic books ‘Fables’ and ‘The Walking Dead,’ while continuing work on games based on ‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘Back to the Future,’ but the studio also revealed that it would be bringing a classic Sierra-borne (Activision-owned) franchise back to life: King’s Quest.
[Update] Right, so the podcast is ready for listening and downloading… now! [End of Update]
This week on the El33tonline Podcast Tom, Pete and Oliver get together long enough to discuss the mighty Marvel VS Capcom 3, Hansel and Gretelbot for LittleBigPlanet 2, a few renewed PlayStation Move impressions, the announcement of rAge 2011 for South Africa, and the fact that Telltale is rebooting the King’s Quest franchise.
We also talk a little about inFamous and inFamous 2, how boring January 2011’s NPD results are, how relieved Pete is that Gran Turismo 5 has received a massive patch, how we feel about the annualisation of blockbuster game franchises, plus much more besides!
… and then, the other book drops.
Listen in to the El33tonline Podcast for the week of February 21st!

Last week saw the release of the very first screenshots for Telltale Games’ next adventure game, Back to the Future: The Game (of course based on the cult classic series of films, Back to the Future).
Today we’re given an opportunity to spy the game in motion with the very first trailer!
Telltale Games has released the first three screenshots for its upcoming game, Back to the Future.
The game will feature the likenesses of Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, while Christopher Lloyd will reprise his voice role as Doc Brown and A.J. Locascio will voice Marty McFly. Bob Gale, the man behind the Back to the Future trilogy’s screenplays, is also involved in the game’s creation, which will be set predominantly in the 1980’s Hill Valley.
So, earlier this week, Telltale Games teased the announcement of a new upcoming game featuring four very different and distinctive characters from four very different and distinctive franchises.
The characters were Max (from Sam & Max), The Heavy (from Team Fortress 2), Tycho (from Penny Arcade) and Strong Bad (from Homestar Runner).
Finally, Telltale has unveiled the mystery game and it’s none other than… Poker Night at the Inventory.
Boo, hiss!
Whoa whoa whoa! Stop the presses! Or, stop The Internet, at least!
A debut trailer has just been released by episodic game masters Telltale Games to tease their next title… which is currently untitled… and may or may not feature four characters from four disparate franchises, including Tycho from Penny Arcade, Strong Bad from Homestar Runner, Max from Sam & Max and (most peculiarly) The Heavy from Team Fortress 2.
We’ll find out more on September 2nd…
Watch the teaser trailer for the Untitled Telltale game below:
Just one more day until Episode 4 of Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse is available and Telltale Games has released a new trailer to celebrate.
Titled ‘Beyond the Alley of the Dolls,’ Episode 4 promises to keep you entertained as Sam and Max are forced to take cover in a “barricaded ramshackle diner” from an “onslaught of oversized canine clones akin to a zombie apocalypse.”
Telltale Games has announced that Episode 4 of Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse will be available this coming Tuesday, the 20th of July, and that it features clones!
Titled ‘Beyond the Alley of the Dolls,’ Episode 4 is the last episode before the season finale and sees the “forces that have been pulling the Freelance Police’s strings begin revealing themselves.” It also promises to be a “tale that will change the way you look at Sam & Max forever!”
Telltale Games has released a new trailer and a batch of new screenshots from their upcoming puzzling adventure game, Puzzle Agent.
Puzzle Agent promises to deliver “intriguing mystery with brain-teasing challenges” when it becomes available for the PC, Mac and WiiWare later this month for $9.95. The game comes from the mind of Graham Annable (the creator of the Grickle series of comics and animations and the publisher’s first Art Director) who lists the Professor Layton games as an inspiration.
Telltale Games has announced that the next episode in Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse will be available on the PlayStation Network, PC and Mac next week. Episode 3, titled ‘They Stole Max’s Brain,’ will be arriving on the US PlayStation Network on the 22nd of June and on the European PlayStation Store on the 23rd of June.
Do you own a PS3? Are you ready for Guybrush Threepwood’s latest adventures? If you answered ‘yes’ to both of these questions, then you better head over to the US PlayStation Network tomorrow because Tales of Monkey Island will be available for $19.99!
Tales of Monkey Island sees the Mighty Pirate setting loose a particularly bad case of pox upon the Caribbean and then embarking upon a mission to locate La Esponja Grande to reverse the voodoo.
Telltale Games has revealed that they are working on two new episodic game series based on the popular NBC Universal films, Back to the Future and Jurassic Park.
Back to the Future will be Telltale’s first project. It will be a “season” based on the film trilogy of the same name and is expected to be available this winter. Jurassic Park will follow shortly after Marty McFly and Dr. Emmet Brown’s adventures.
The second episode of Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse is now available to purchase and download through a variety of destinations, but just what is it all about, and what does it all mean?
This episode, entitled “The Tomb of Sammun-Mak,” sees Sam and Max in a new, peculiar adventure following on from Episode 1: The Penal Zone:
