First things first: Telltale Games is bringing the first season of Sam n’ Max to the Wii this fall, as a retail compilation disc. The game is slated to hit both the U.S. and Europe at the same time. Nice, guys! (Source: Chris Kohler, via Game|Life)
And here’s a new trailer for De Blob, the Wii-ified version of student-made The Blob. The trailer was released at THQ Gamer’s Day this month (THQ is developing and publishing the title). There’s also a gameplay video from earlier this year.
Even though I still don’t really like the way they Mountain Dewed the blobby protagonist, I have high hopes for this one overall! It’s coming out in September (hopefully).
Last but not least, a new trailer for Blast Works, the shoot ‘em up based on Kenta Cho’s Tumiki Fighters that’s slated for a May release. The trailer shows off some of the extensive in-game customization, as well as a new game mechanic: you can suck in attachments and bring them out again at will. Interesting! (EDIT: Okay, so that mechanic is also in Tumiki Fighters! I had no idea!) It also confirms that rRootage, Gunroar, Torus Trooper, and Tumiki Fighters will be playable in the game as unlockables.

Season Two of Telltale Games’s Sam n’ Max started last week, with the first episode, “Ice Station Santa,” made available on Gametap and the Telltale website.
If you haven’t tried it out yet and you’re wondering whether it’s good – yes, what I’ve played so far is good! I was a huge fan of the original game, and these games seem like a true enough follow-up to that classic. Definitely take it for a test drive, at least. The fourth episode of Season One, “Abe Lincoln Must Die,” is now free, and you can get it here.
Steve Purcell, the creator of Sam n’ Max, also has an S&M (snicker) webcomic on the Telltale site, and the darn thing was nominated for an Eisner award this year.
I’m all over Sam n’ Max like stripes on a candy cane.

Sam & Max… god, what an awesome game that was. I’m excited that Telltale Games is bringing these characters back from the grave. I think the jump to 3D is alright, too. I’m not excited by the fact that it’s episodic.
You’ll be able to testdrive the first episode via GameTap on October 17th and then purchase the full game from Telltale on November 1st. Click here for the official announcement and links to some gameplay videos.
The voices for Sam & Max seem a bit off, don’t you think? Maybe I’m just too used to the ones from the original.
