We publish a review on time! 08 Nov, 2007 / Comments: 15

On the same day as the release, what the hell? We give Telltale some love in the Ice Station Santa review, which you probably won't care about anyway as you're bound to buy the game regardless of what we have to say. Asses.

Also, in another unprecedented turn of event, we give it a lower score than Adventure Gamers did. It's like we actually have integrity!

    There's one posted on the TTG forum by laserschwert.
    It's in German but you won't need the back cover anyways.

    You are excellent! And I didn't even know there was an international version of that box.

    Oh. That wacky Laserschwert!

    I think something that really makes the game better is the abundance of characters. Yes, a lot of them are carried over from season 1, and a lot of the new ones will probably be recurring, but still, the sheer volume of NPCs - Sybil, Bosco, Abe, the bug, Stinky, the rats, Flint, Santa, the elves, the Soda Poppers, that crazy mexican dude - it helps make the world more alive.

    The Mexican dude was in this game? Where?
  • Udvarnoky on 10 Nov, 2007, 03:18…
    He made a very brief cameo in the diner. I'm not sure if it's triggered by something you're required to do or not, but he shows up if you talk to the bug at some point.

    He played Happy Birthday on the trumpet the second time you talk to the bug.

    That was a wonderful, random moment. They programmed a character, animation, and all that for a two-second hysterical cameo that not everyone will see.

    Although saying that I'll bet he'll be back.

    Incredible - not only out in time, but before the official world release! Now that's class.

    My only complaint for now is - can we change that picture for Season Two? It's a bit rubbish.
  • Remi O on 08 Nov, 2007, 19:08…
    No way; the Soda Poppers are underrated!
  • telarium on 08 Nov, 2007, 19:25…
    I think the pic in question is the one in the Game Database.
  • Remi O on 08 Nov, 2007, 19:28…
    Oh well, somebody who's not me should do that then.
  • The Tingler on 08 Nov, 2007, 19:52…
    Yeah, quite right - it's the fuzzy low-res one in the Database I'm objecting too.
  • Gabez on 08 Nov, 2007, 20:41…
    I've changed it. Meanwhile, if someone could scan in the box-art for season one then that would be great.
  • Udvarnoky on 09 Nov, 2007, 03:36…
    Yes please someone help us out there! (The Telltale DVD specifically.) I tried scanning it myself and it came out horrible.
