Thrilling news recap 23 Oct, 2006 / Comments: 14

By Jason


So now that Mojo's back up from one of its world famous and highly predictable server catastrophes, here's a quick rundown of what's happened this past week:
  • As you all know, Sam & Max: Culture Shock was released on Tuesday to the Gametap-subscribing public. It has met with rave reviews - check some out here and here (Some of those not recommended until after playing the game). Most of you are probably waiting for the worldwide release on November 1st, but should any of you subscribe to Gametap at some point in the future, do so through this link - Telltale receives a royalty.

  • A bunch of other Sam & Max related stuff has been unleashed onto the web to coincide with the release. As foreshadowed, Telltale has made the sketchbook and Max bones shirt available in their store. Gametap has launched its proper Sam & Max page complete with the release schedule. (Add 15 days to each of those for the Telltale launch.) There also exists some contests, an interim theater, and lots of other wacky things that you should find out about for yourself.

  • Bill Tiller updated the Autumn Moon site to say that production on A Vampyre Story is going well, and that a company blog will be appearing soonish. Also, their main page has been totally Halloweenafied.

  • Rumors have surfaced that LucasArts plans on publishing a Star Wars game.
That covers just about everything, probably. Leave your stories of near-suicide over Mojo's absence in the comments.

    I've read the word REVIEW too many times...

    About the rumors. I've heard is going to be a totally new idea for Star Wars game. It seems is strategy/simulation game in which you run a themepark but instead of people....EWOKS! ...and it's going to be called Thrillwok or... E-Ville or something like that.

    As for the Mojo's crisis....I was THIS close....to start playing a Sierra adventure game... I hope it never happens again...

    I think you mean Thrillville. Yeh, only I don't know about the ewoks. You can watch the game trailer for it at lucasarts.com Lok

    He was being sarcastic...

    Rumor has it the new game will be disguised as a class adventure game to lure old Lucasarts fans back into the mix... Monkey Island 5: The Empire Strikes Back

    Will it have Ewoks?

    TELL ME THAT LAST RUMOR ISNT TRUE!

    Say it aint so...

    Not another Star Wars game!

    So, when's the mixnmojo official review coming out?

    Remi got a review copy and I think even has a review, but Mojo crapped the bed before he could put it up.
  • Remi O on 23 Oct, 2006, 14:05…
    It'll totally be up today.
  • jp-30 on 24 Oct, 2006, 10:20…
    Tomorrow?
  • Scummbuddy on 24 Oct, 2006, 20:41…
    Maybe they're stuck on a puzzle and can't finish the game to give a review. :p
  • Udvarnoky on 23 Oct, 2006, 02:28…
    It's good.
    - a review

    I'm sure Remi or Gabez will offer their take whenever they get around to it. I've never bothered to figure out how to do a Mojo article.
