Telltale Games has released a trailer for the upcoming adventure game, Jurassic Park. A different take on the adventure game style that Telltale normally puts out, Jurassic Park doesn’t seem to have any of the comedy one might normally find in a Telltale game. Instead, you find dinosaurs. Lots of them.

Watch, and drool:

You can pre-order the game on the Telltale website now, and save $5 to boot.

The second episode in the Back to the Future: The Game series has been announced by Telltale Games. Back to the Future – Episode 2: Get Tannen! continues the saga of Marty McFly as he seeks to return to the future with Doc Brown in tow.

Back To The Future: The Game is based on the original movie trilogy by award-winning filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis. The game itself takes place about 6 months after the third movie, and deals with Marty McFly as he handles his new life with changed parents, then discovers that Doc Brown has vanished. The story will unfold across five episodes, with a new installment releasing each month as is typical of Telltale’s games. Telltale is creating the game in collaboration with Universal Partnerships & Licensing and film series’ co-creator/co-writer Bob Gale.

 

What’s inside this episode:

• A review of Hordes of Orcs 2, by Freeverse. The sequel to the original tower defense game by Freeverse, that isn’t.
  
• Also, a review of Poker Night at the Inventory, by Telltale Games. A nice poker game to just kick back for a while and chill out with your favorite game characters.
  

Happy Belated Trogday to you all. Yeah, I missed the day, but Telltale Games didn’t. And in celebration, they have released Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People for the Mac. Woot!

Based on the character Strong Bad from the HomestarRunner site, Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People is now available for just $14.95 for all five episodes, a 50% off deal. The deal ends today, so you’d better pick it up now or risk become the victim of Trogdor the Burninator.

Tales of Monkey Island is an adventure game following the travails of one hapless pirate Guybrush Threepwood as he searches for La Esponja Grande, the only cure for the pox of LeChuck which he accidentally released throughout the Caribbean, including on himself and his wife. Guybrush must face a pirate hunter deadset on his body, a marquis deadset on his corpse, and a giant manatee who just wants to eat him.

What’s inside this episode:

• A review of Tasty Planet 2: Back for Seconds, by Dingo Games. A tasty romp through item absorbing fun, with just a hint of UI bitterness.
  
• Also, a review of Puzzle Agent, by Telltale Games. If David Lynch designed a game, Graham Annabele drew the art, Mark Snow composed the music, the Coen Brothers wrote the dialog, and Will Shortz designed the puzzles…that would be Puzzle Agent.
  

Telltale Games has been keeping things under wraps about Poker Night at The Inventory ever since it was first announced. But not any more, as they have revealed exclusive new Team Fortress 2 items players can win within the game.
