Thank God it's Monday 31 Aug, 2010 / 3 comments

Today is a day of exciting releases. The first is of course the long awaited finale of The Devil's Playhouse (check out our review!) The game is apparently not quite out to season's subscribers, but it should be available before the night's through, Pacific Standard Time, so keep an eye either on your inbox or your Telltale account page. Hopefully, Kroms can refrain from flaunting his access to review copies to too many of you before then.

The second big release today is the North American retail version of Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island, almost a year after its initial release in Germany. The hand-painted pirate adventure game by Bill Tiller and his well-treated minions got an English release in the UK early this year and has been available worldwide in various digital outlets for almost as long, but today it can finally be found boxed and on store shelves in the United States and Canada. It's retailing for only $19.99, too, so you should probably show us that you're smarter than you look and order it from a place like Gamestop or Amazon (where the price is currently slashed at a ridiculous $10.86).

On the subject of Autumn Moon, you're running out of hours to submit your winning entry for the Pumpkin Post site redesign contest. Hopefully you didn't blow this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity which, not taken, would surely haunt you throughout your adult life until it is violently and mercifully syncopated by the cold grip of Death.

Anyway. Happy Monday, all!

Update: Capn_Nacho reports that The City That Dares Not Sleep is now available to season subscribers. Rev those downloads!

    Awww, Kroms, ya had me. Sorry if you've had some big twists spoiled for you a bit, even by that (definitely beautiful) Purcell cover tease.

    I was joking, actually. I haven't touched any review copies since "They Stole Max's Brain!", since I burned myself out on exams then and have been too tired to play games since. I only started "Beyond the Alley of the Dolls" around ten minutes after teasing Capn_Naho. 'twas just that: a tease.

    If I did play those games, I'd be legally (and, in all honesty, morally) obligated not to say anything about them, but I didn't even read the emails Telltale sends out. Just, "mark as read", keep in inbox for later (in case someone suddenly can't review and I'm the one who steps in), and move on.

    Can't wait to play this! The Purcell cover art tease is beautiful!
