Sam & Max Season One
Sam & Max Season One Coming To Wii In November
Let the joy be unconfined — Sam & Max: Season One will be (probably) heading to the Wii on November 4th.
The tried & trusted investigative journalism technique of 'lets look on the GameStop website and see when they will start selling it' (Woodward & Bernstein used the same method to crack the Watergate scandal wide open) points to a November 3rd release, meaning that the game should appear in people's actual hands the following day.
The game sees our detective heroes (one an anthropomorphic dog, the other a.. thing that looks a bit like a rabbit, only wrong) investigating a mysterious cult.

Holy Crap! Strong Bad Coming Next Week
So he's a couple months late. He's Strong Bad. What are you going to do, not pick up the first episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People when it hits PC and WiiWare this Monday? Oh I think not. Then there would be a reckoning, and I'm not at all certain how that would play out. Rather than dabble with uncertainties, let's deal with what is certain. Telltale has officially announced that the first episode, Homestar Ruiner, will officially be available this Monday, officially. The Wii version will run you 1,000 fake Wii monies, and will feature the ability to send Strong Bad emails and screens to your friends using WiiConnect24.
Meanwhile the Compy version will be on sale via Telltale's website for $8.95, or you can subscribe to the whole shebang for $34.95. We'll have a full review going up on release day just in case you need some help deciding whether to buy the episode or buy five of them. More »

Grand Adventures
Wallace & Gromit Get The Telltale Treatment
Everyone's favorite claymation man and dog combo is getting the episodic adventure game treatment courtesy of Telltale Games. The company has just announced Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures, an adventure series in the same vein as Sam and Max, ultilizing graphics that simulate the claymation look and feel of the beloved series.
"We're certainly going for the clay look with this," Telltale Games CEO Dan Connors told The Associated Press. "Clay presents a challenge if you really get into the detail of it. For example, adding fingerprints in a medium where there aren't any is one of the discussions of how far we should go with the game's detail."
Wallace & Gromit have appeared in their own standalone games in the past, but Connors explains that the episodic nature of the upcoming game will capture the feel of a W&G short far better than a platformer starring the characters ever could, sentiments Strong Bad creators Mike and Matt Chapman echoed regarding their upcoming Telltale game series.

We're introduced quickly to Strong Bad's motivation. Homestar has been caught for indecency and Strong Bad is either tasked with cheering him up or making reparations for Homestar's pantslessness. More »
