New adventure from former LucasArts developers

I just read about the new PC adventure game, Bone, based on a comic
book series of the same name. I've never heard of the comic before,
but the fact that the developers involved were on the teams that
produced Grim Fandango, Sam & Max, and Escape From Monkey Island raised
an eyebrow.

Details are very few, but here's the official announcement:
http://www.telltalegames.com/products?pc=bn0102

I began my gaming life as a pure classic adventure player, but over the
past 2 years branched out into RPGs, RTSs, and action adventures just
because not many of the new true adventure games seemed too compelling
to me. (I think the last 3 I played were Runaway, Broken Sword 3, and
Syberia 2- all okay, but none earth-shattering like Monkey Island, GF,
or GK.)

Here's hoping that Telltale games can re-create some of that ol'
LucasArts magic!

I've read some of the comic, and think it's really good. It's also a
good sign that Jeff Smith, the comic's creator, in involved in the
creation of the game. But I am not that exited about this quote:

"The pacing of the story also lent itself beautifully to the online
episodic structure we're planning to implement."

Let's hope it'll turn out well.

Hi

Thanks for that link.

Couldn't really tell ....

Cheers.
