Well hey, if you liked the games Lucasarts used to produce, but hate the
massive law-monster it has become, why not check out a couple of the
companies created by ex-lucasarts employees!
First off there's Double Fine (http://www.doublefine.com) created by
gaming mastermind Tim Schafer! He's the guy behind classics such as Full
Throttle, Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle. They're currently
making the Excellent Game Psychonauts, which looks like it may just be
the greatest game ever. Be sure to check out the Double Fine Action News
and Comics for a glimpse into the minds of the brilliant people who are
making this great game.
Then there's Telltale Games (http://www.telltalegames.com/) who have
just released an awesome little character-driven poker game, Telltale
Texas Hold'em and are now working on a graphic adventure game based on
the Bone comicbook series.
