Okay, now this is more like it. This week’s game is Strong Bad Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner, an honest-to-gosh adventure game. Not just an adventure game - this one is published by Telltale Games, the fine folks behind Sam & Max. As with Sam & Max, this will be an episodic adventure game series, starting with Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner. (If you don’t own a Wii, never fear: it’s also coming out on PC, too.) The game will run you 1000 Wii points ($10).
Check out the humor in the above video at GameTrailers as Strong Bad pines for his Atari 2600 games. Telltale Games are proving themselves to be the PopCap version of comic adventure games.
Strong Bad Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner (Telltale Games, 1 player, Rated T for Teen-Crude Humor, Mild Cartoon Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes, 1,000 Wii Points): Charming. Suave. Awesome. These are the words Strong Bad would use to describe himself. In a world gone mad, only one man can be trusted to save the day. A man with an attitude. A man called Strong Bad. As the star of the Homestar Runner Web cartoons, Strong Bad has been answering e-mails (in boxing gloves), pranking his friends, pummeling his enemies, and making people with questionable taste snort milk out of their noses for years now. And he’s branched out to star in Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People, a monthly five-episode series. In Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner, Strong Bad’s plans to beat the snot out of Homestar backfire, and he ends up with an unwanted houseguest cramping his style. Now he needs to get life back to normal by any means possible. But wait, there’s more: Teen Girl Squad comics, achievements, funny costumes and arcade games. You can even send pictures and messages to Wii Friends using Strong Bad’s computer. So how about it? Can you handle Strong Bad’s style?
