After failing on Kickstarter, Trilobyte has regrouped and started up a new crowdfunding campaign for The 7th Guest 3: The Collector, through Crowdtilt. They started the Crowdtilt campaign in December, shortly after the end of the Kickstarter, but did not go public with it until now. This time they are only seeking $65,000. This will fund The 7th Guest 3: The 1st Story, which will be the entire first floor of the mansion.
From there, the campaign will remain open indefinitely, and there will be stretch goals. The first stretch goal will be for development of the second story, and the second stretch goal will be the funding required to fund the full game. So, if you're interested in getting a new chapter of the full motion video horror adventure series, head to the crowdfunding page for The 7th Guest 3: The Collector and pick a pledge tier.

The crowd funded full motion video detective adventure game, Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure, is now available. Along with the original Tex Murphy, series creator Chris Jones, returning in the role, other actors include television, stage, and cinema legend June Lockhart, Kevin Murphy (of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 fame) and Seinfeld's Soup Nazi, Larry Thomas.
The first fifty times someone mocked up their favorite property in the form of an old-school graphic adventure it was kind of cute, and maybe for you it still is. An UK illustrator has made some Monkey Island 1-esque screenshots of what Buffy the Vampire Slayer might have looked like coming out of 1990 LucasArts.
Find it droll, damn you.

Examiner.com went and examined legendary game composer and Tim Schafer regular Peter McConnell in a brief interview published a few weeks ago. We've made excellent time, at least on the adjusted-for-Mojo grading scale.
Interestingly, McConnell expresses that he "can't wait" to get to work on the score for Broken Age part two. I've been putting off this highly anticipated game until the whole thing was released, so hopefully this doesn't portend delays. Actually, does it even have a date yet? Where's Jim Ward to focus these Double Fine slackers when you need him?

Double Fine's second indie title that they will be publishing is the sci-fi noir adventure game LAST LIFE by Rocket Science Amusements. There is currently a Kickstarter up for the game.
The Vita version of The Walking Dead: Season Two episode 1 and episode 2 will finally release on April 22 in North America and on April 23 in Europe.
On the subject of Telltale's The Walking Dead series, Dorkly has created a video showing what the Mario series would be like if presented in the manner of The Walking Dead.
Charles Cecil has just announced that the second episode of Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse will be available at around 6pm BST for PC, Mac, and Linux. Vita, iOS, and Android will also follow shortly. Stay tuned for the Mojo review!
So far they've hit the most popular of the early batch of adventures from Sierra and LucasArts, looking back at King's Quest I, King's Quest II and III, Space Quest I and II, Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken, and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.
There's still eight months left, and a lot of classic adventures to cover, so it will be interesting to see what other games IGN plays through. They certainly can't go wrong with playing through any of the LucasArts adventure catalog, as we so thoroughly showed in our own LucasArts Secret History features from a few years back.
Moebius, the crowd funded adventure from Gabriel Knight creator Jane Jensen's Pinkerton Road Studio and Cognition creator Phoenix Online, is now available. If you order from The Phoenix Online store, they have a promotion going on for 20% off Moebius if you use the code CSGMOEB20OFF
A Linux version and French, Italian, German, and Spanish translations are not available at launch, but they are currently in development and will be coming soon.
The remastered version of the remake of the first game in The Journeyman Project series, The Journeyman Project: Pegasus Prime, is now available from GOG.com for Windows and Mac. It is currently available for the launch price of $7.99, which is $2 off the regular price.
The Telltale website hasn't been updated with the news, but The Walking Dead: Season One is now available on Android devices. After the game appeared on the Android based Kindle Fire platform late last year, it seemed like only a matter of time before it was extended to other Android devices.
It was previously assumed that the already announced Ouya release would happen first, but it is now available on the Google play store for Android devices in general. There is still no word on when the Ouya version will be released.
Update: It is now available on Steam and PSN on PS3 in North America too.
There's good news for people who ordered The Wolf Among Us from the Telltale store. Episode 3: A Crooked Mile is out now on the Telltale store for PC and Mac, as the game has received a rare midnight release. The game will be released later today on Steam and on the PlayStation Network for PlayStation 3 in North America, tomorrow on Xbox 360, and some time this week for iOS as well.
The trailer for The Wolf Among Us: Episode 3 - A Crooked Mile is here. Readers of the Fables comics should look closely at the trailer, as you'll see that a fan favorite character from the comics will finally be making an appearance in the game. There is still no release date, but now that the trailer is out, it's pretty safe to say that the episode should be released within a week or two.
Fans of the acclaimed HBO series True Detective should get a kick out of this video. Heck, I got a kick out of it, and I haven't even watched True Detective, so your odds are pretty good.
