In a move that surprised absolutely no one, Telltale's president Kevin Bruner and the creator of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman, announced The Walking Dead: Season Three at this year's Comic Con. Since Season Two is not even finished yet, nothing was revealed other than the fact that Telltale is working on it. More details will likely come after the current season wraps up.

Zen Studios will be releasing a new digital pinball table this summer for their pinball games based on Telltale's The Walking Dead: Season One. In related news, it seems that with Telltale's games releasing on so many platforms these days, even their own blog is having trouble keeping up with the news, since The Walking Dead: Season Two quietly snuck onto Kindle Fire HDX and Amazon Fire TV on May 10th (Update: June 5: episode 3 is now out on Amazon platforms too).
While we were down, things kept right on going. So, here's what we missed during our downtime:
The Wolf Among Us Episode 4 finished releasing on the already announced platforms (PC/Mac/PSN/XBLA/iOS) and The Walking Dead: Season Two Episode 3 finally received a release date for PS Vita: June 3rd in North America and June 4th in Europe.

There will also be disc versions of The Walking Dead: Season Two and The Wolf Among Us for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. No release dates yet have been announced.
And last but not least, Ron Gilbert's Match 3 puzzle game, Scurvy Scallywags, is now on Android, Tommo and Night Dive released 5 more Humongous Entertainment games on Steam, and bjbennyboy's Telltale Explorer now supports Poker Night 2, Law & Order: Legacies, and The Walking Dead: Season One.

Hey, another entry in The Wolf Among Us saga, and we like it. Run to read our review of "A Crooked Mile". It's a great one. The game, that is. And the review, too, why not?
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 April 9: It's out on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360 in North America and PSN for PS3 in Europe. iOS is scheduled to get the game on the 10th of April.
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.

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.

Update April 2: The release dates are in. It will release on the 8th of April for PC, Mac, and PSN on the PS3 in North America and on the 9th for XBLA on Xbox 360 and for PSN in Europe. It is scheduled to release on iOS some time next week 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.
Well, it took some time, but we brought back Huz -- remember him?! -- to review A House Divided! Run, don't walk to read his analytical musings on the latest Walking Dead episode!
Update by Jennifer Also, Telltale updated their Twitter with news that The Walking Dead Season Two episode 2 will release on PSN for PS3 in Europe on Wednesday, March 12th.
What the hell, the world keeps moving even though we don't pay attention. Odd. Very odd.
So! To start with our little catch-up:
Costume Quest 2 is coming! The first game (and its expansion pack) was pretty awesome, so hey… Coolness! Check out the announcement at will..
In other news, the Mojo-headed Campo Santo will announce a game on Thursday. That's… all there is to that I suppose.
And Tales from the Borderlands has of course already been announced, but for those of you who (for whatever reason) are interested, you can check out its SXSW panel. You know. For giggles.
What else did we miss? Probably lots of things! Feel free to tweet us to let us know!
Update 2: iOS has apparently gotten the release one day early, as episode 2 is now available on iTunes as well. The European PSN for PlayStation 3 release date has not yet been announced. It is also scheduled to be released some time at the end of March for PlayStation Vita (along with episode 1).
Update: It's out now on Xbox 360 through the Xbox Live Arcade.The Walking Dead: Season Two - Episode 2: A House Divided is out now for PC and Mac through Steam and the Telltale store and on PSN for PlayStation 3 in North America. It will be released later today for XBLA on Xbox 360 and tomorrow on iOS.
The official Walking Dead page has been updated with the release date for episode 2 of season 2. Telltale will be releasing the game for PC, Mac, and PlayStation 3 on March 4, with Xbox 360, iOS, and international releases following very shortly afterward. Both episode one and two will be released for the PlayStation Vita at the end of March.
Hopefully the imminent release of The Walking Dead Season Two on Vita means that platform will be receiving The Wolf Among Us soon as well, as that game is currently AWOL on Vita as well.
In related news, Telltale has brought back Playing Dead, this time through IGN, with Greg Miller replacing AJ Locascio as host. The latest episode contains an interview with the voice of Luke, Scott Porter, and a new trailer for The Walking Dead: Season Two: Episode 2.
With all the Amnesia Fortnight madness going on, we managed to miss the news that Broken Age Act I is now available DRM-free to those who already ordered it from your download page at humblebundle.com. If you haven't already ordered, Double Fine has set up a website for you to purchase the DRM-free version here.
Speaking of Amnesia Fortnight, Double Fine has graciously allowed the community to create their own version of one of the pitches that didn't make it this year. That pitch is one that didn't make it through both years of public Amnesia Fortnight, Patrick Hackett's Bad Golf (and Bad Golf 2). Bad Golf: Community Edition is being created with Unity under the creative commons no commercial license, and is being coordinated through github. They are still actively seeking anyone who wants to help. They still need programmers, artists, musicians, foley and voice artists, and 3D and 2D artists. If you want to see where you can help, check out their issue tracker and check out the project's forum thread for updates on the progress.
In Telltale news, The Walking Dead Season Two episode 2 has received a release window. Episode one will be released in early March, at least for the platforms that have already received episode one. There is still no sign of when the PlayStation Vita and Ouya versions of Season 2 episode 1 will be released.
Lastly, Telltale and Gearbox will be at SXSW at a panel at 5:30 on March 8th, where they will reveal the first information about their upcoming episodic series, Tales of The Borderlands.
