Oooh! It looks like it’s about the time! Time for what, huh? Well, it’s almost time for TellTale to launch its new episodic game series, Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Adventures.
What’s so dang grand about these adventures? Umm, well, Wallace and Gromit are two pretty famous characters, at least over in England. I know I loved watching their adventures as a high school student with nothing but time and tons of cocaine on my hands.
Okay, there was NO cocaine involved in my youth, but wouldn’t that explain so very much about me? I think it would.
Because TellTale is …read more

Alright, I know the title to this post was cheesy and probably not something that you appreciated, but I thought it was funny, so THERE.
With the U.S. launch date of Jack Keane so dang close, it was probably a smart move on 10acle Studios and Deck13’s behalf to decide to put out a demo in English of the new piratey adventure so that all of us would be fans could actually have a taste of the game before we dropped some hard earned dough on it. I mean, it might suck. And then you’ll be pissed off …read more

There is a game that has been available for purchase for a few weeks called Blackwell: Unbound by Wadget Eye …read more

With the English version of Deck13’s new Egyptian saga, Ankh: Heart of Osiris, fast approaching, you must be wondering when a demo will be coming out. Because, what’s the point of a game if there’s no demo?? There is no point! But, those good ol’ peeps down at Deck13 have finally put together a demo that people, like me (the English speakers) can play and actually understand. Sure, the German version looked fun to play, but I got stuck in about 5 seconds. And that’s just no good.
And with things like English demos coming out, …read more
