Zone on Telltale, LucasArts and Double Fine 06 Jun, 2006 / Comments: 10


Issue one hundred and sixty-nine (??) of PC Zone is out in the UK, and contains much that will be of interest to readers of the Mojo.

Like, for instance, their belated Bone review! Sixty seven per cent they gave it, though it should be noted that their rating system is more harsh than most; fifty per cent is average, not mediocre, and a score of sixty seven is thus not embarrassing in the least. In fact, Dreamfall got the very same score on the opposite page.

Also included is a piece about the LucasArts logo, though writer Will Porter seems to have been overcome with nostalgia before he?d had a chance to say anything meaningful. Marry me!

Oh, and before I forget: the most interesting piece of news from the magazine! Psychonauts won "funniest game ever" with a landslide victory. Check out their forum post and have your say with a vote.



Also: Telltale's CSI game was given 62%, and is reportedly at number 12 on the sales charts.

    Pity there was no mention of the new version of the LucasArts logo.

    I give this news post a rating of ninety-nine point eight seven six two percent!

    The text from this made me sad :(

    Yeah, sorry, I really should've scanned this in earlier. I've been busy!

    The discussion was a bit of a farce really, with Sam & Max being forgot about and Garry's Mod and Counter-Strike being considered. Armed & Dangerous was only mentioned.

    As for that Bone score, I think Will was a little bit harsh. I mean, just look at the quote for the pic at the top - that image is two seconds before Fone Bone starts throttling Phoney!

    Psychonauts 'funniest game ever'? I don't think so...
  • Haggis on 07 Jun, 2006, 10:48…
    No, actually, "Pscyonauts" got that prestigious title.

    Heh what a crazy typo. YOU WIN!

    That poll is essential, "Which Tim Schafer game did you think was the funniest?"
  • Gabez on 07 Jun, 2006, 10:43…
    Yeah, I didn't even think that Grim Fandango was supposed to be funny. I mean, there were moments which made me chuckle, but it worked much better as a serious game.

    I thought the Bone games were pretty funny, though.

    Wonder if he got inspiration from Mojo's LEC logo article. Not that I'm saying he stole anything... Babysit me!
