Sam & Max Beyond Time & Space: Episode 4: Chariots of the Dogs is now out on iOS. This is the penultimate episode of Season Two, meaning just one more episode is left in the season before all episodes in the season are available for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPhone.
The episode can be purchased from the iTunes store here.
Microsoft announced the games coming to Xbox Live in the US in the next few weeks, and Jurassic Park: The Game is scheduled to come out on Xbox Live On Demand on April 10.
So far, there's no news about an international release, but since the non-Telltale published European retail Xbox 360 version was cancelled in Europe, the presence of an online version in the US is a still-slim chance that European Xbox 360 owners may receive this game through a Telltale published online release.
In a surprise move, Telltale's website actually mentioned their newest Law & Order release. Law & Order: Legacies has now concluded it's 7 episode run on iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. Now iOS players can discover the link that ties the season's cases together, as Episode 7: Resolution is now available to purchase (or to play immediately if you own the multi-pack bundle) from within the universal Law & Order: Legacies application.
There is no news on when the last two episodes will be available for PC and Mac.
Update: Telltale hasn't updated their blog with the news, but episodes 6 and 7 are now out on PC and Mac as well. So now all supported platforms have access to the complete Law & Order: Legacies series.
A site called Dual Pixels is claiming to have a line on the titles that will appear on the eShop service for the Wii U (the upcoming Nintendo console) when the system launches toward the end of the year. Among the titles they list is Telltale's The Walking Dead. Telltale establishing a presence on the console seems plausible enough to me considering that they're everywhere else, but time will tell if this particular rumor proves accurate.
In other Telltale news, the company would totally love to be acquired by Disney. Learn this and other lurid secrets in this interview with Dan Connors that ran on Gamasutra earlier this week.

Preorders for The Walking Dead are now possible at Telltale's website. As usual with their preorders, you will get 10% off the regular price (US $22.49 vs US $24.99) and get access to an exclusive preorder forum where you can get discuss the game with the development team before release.
But for this preorder period, Telltale is having a contest. Everyone who preorders the game or (for the mandatory 'no purchase necessary' requirement) sends a postcard to Telltale before the 4/23/12, will be entered into a chance to become one of the undead in the game. The winner will appear in episode 4 first as a human, then as a member of the undead. Up to four others will become a member of the undead horde, seen shambling around in the game (or perhaps eating an unfortunate victim).
For your chance to become part of the walking dead, preorder here.
Telltale partnered up with its real friends at IGN to unveil this teaser trailer for The Walking Dead:
Kinda feels like an interface-less gameplay clip from one of their CSI games. Possibly to compensate for the relative scarcity of media they've dispersed for the project thus far, Telltale is promising to follow up this tease with a more revealing "debut trailer" come Monday, while you're still bristling from whatever's going to happen in Sunday's season finale of the TV show.
Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space Episode 3: Night of the Raving Dead is now available on iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad from the iTunes Store.
Just two more episodes are left until the second season of Sam & Max is complete on iOS.
It seems Telltale has been been releasing a lot of things lately without making corresponding blog posts, as Tales of Monkey Island Episode 5: Rise of the Pirate God is now available for the iPhone and iPod Touch from the iTunes App Store, completing the series on iOS.
Also (and this was posted on their blog) episode 1 of Tales of Monkey Island is available free for both iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad for a limited time. The remaining four episodes have had their prices reduced to USD$2.99 each.
Once again, Telltale hasn't yet updated their blog about the new release of Law and Order: Legacies, but the penultimate episode, Episode 6: Side Effects, is now available for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
The game can be purchased from within the Law & Order: Legacies universal app, which is available from iTunes here. The game is USD$2.99 if you buy the episode individually, or USD$12.99 for the season package. Owners of the season package can play the episode (as well as episodes 1-5) immediately. Episode 7 isn't out yet, but judging from the quick release schedule of the iOS version, it will be released soon.
There is no time frame set for when episode 6 will be released for PC and Mac.
The second episode of Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space, Moai Better Blues, has been released for the iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad via a universal app.
You can grab it from iTunes here.
A release date for the remaining three episodes has not been set yet, but Telltale seems to have gotten better at iOS releases, so they should be released in the upcoming months.
Thankfully, it seems Telltale's days of releasing one episode for iOS and ignoring the rest of the season are behind us.
Telltale hasn't updated their blog yet, but it seems Law & Order: Legacies episode 4: Nobody's Child and episode 5: Ear Witness for PC and Mac got a surprise weekend release. People who purchased the season package from the Telltale store can open Law & Order: Legacies on their computer and select the episodes right now from within the program itself.
This brings the computer releases up to date with the iOS releases. There's still two more episodes left in the series, which will be released in the upcoming months.
The date when the zombies rise is crawling nearer and to celebrate this, Telltale has posted the first episode of Playing Dead, a nine part video series going behind the scenes of the making of The Walking Dead. Playing Dead is hosted by AJ LoCascio, who voiced Marty in Telltale's Back to the Future series, and among the people he interviews in the first episode is a familiar face from Mojo's sordid past...

Following hot on the footsteps of the iOS version of the first episode of Law & Order: Legacies, Back to the Future: The Game Episode 1: It's About Time is free for a limited time on iPad from the iTunes store
Also, Episode 2: Get Tannen, Episode 3: Citizen Brown, Episode 4: Double Visions, and Episode 5: OUTATIME are now only US$2.99 for iPad.
The Law & Order episodes just keep coming (on iOS at least). Episode 5: Ear Witness is now available to purchase through the Law & Order: Legacies Universal App (which is still offered for free at the time of this writing). The way the app works is that the first game comes with it, and the remaining episodes are available to purchase per episode or in a bundle for US$12.99. Bundle purchasers on iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad will be able to play the first 5 episodes. The remaining two episodes will be released at a later, as-of-yet-unannounced date.
There's no word yet on when episodes 4 and 5 will be released on PC and Mac, but the first three episodes for PC/Mac are available in a bundle for US$19.99 from the Telltale store.
When I first told Max the next thing he would review would be something involving people wearing trench coats, he mistakenly went to a screening of Deep Throat. After guiding him onto the right track, he handed in this review of Telltale's latest episodic offering, Law & Order: Legacies, which you will now read by clicking here.
