Give the dog a bone

Good news, everyone! Telltale have announced their first adventure game. Its Sam & Max 2 Bone! Thats right, the answer to all those fiendish "much-loved franchise" riddles and the infamous silhouette image is not, in fact, Guybrush Threepwood on drugs, but instead some kind of whacky comic featuring the Bone cousins: Fone Phoney and Smiley. You with me so far?

Details on the game are as yet scarce, but fans will be pleased to know that there is this cropped screenshot from which we can all base wild assumptions on. Anything else can be inferred from the Telltale product page or the official web-site of the comic book.

It aint Monkey Island 5, but it does look like an interesting foundation for an adventure game, and will most likely produce something that is more original than just another sequel anyway, which is of course what we all actually want. Who said adventure games were dead?

Bone is great actually. Kind of a less bizarre version of Sam & Max, yet still plenty bizarre.

Ooh- tough crowd Supermax6660606!

Anyway, what they said was;

"If you've enjoyed any of the products we've helped create in the past, you're sure to love this one"

"we can tell you it's something many of you already know and love"

So NOT something we ALL know and love, but something MANY of you already know and love.

There's absolutely no "deception" there at all.

And if you were thinking that it was going to be using LucasArts intellectual property, you can't have been paying very close attention.

They actually did make a Tintin game. But it was overseas and it was a while back. I played it once before it was ok... it was in 3d. But they should make another one sometime.
