Back to the Future is Back

January 1, 2011 Games

Telltale Games has released their next point and click adventure game, Back to the Future: The Game. Only episode one is out right now but the rest are some periodically throughout the year.

Episode one takes place six months after Back to the Future part 3. Doc has been traveling during that time and the bank is selling off his house and stuff. Marty is very upset. Biff is grabbing everything in sight. However, when a time-traveling DeLorean appears, Marty receives a message from Doc, indicating that he’s in need of rescue.Â Intent on finding his friend, Marty climbs behind the wheel once again and begins a new adventure.

Unfortunately Telltale couldn’t get Micheal J. Fox to voice Marty but A.J. Locascio is the best choice for the job. He does a perfect Marty. Happily Christopher Lloyd does voice Doc.

I really enjoyed the first part of the game. I haven’t played many point and click adventure games outside of the Kings Quest series. I had quite a few chuckles while playing. There are also many things that fans of the movies while recognize. The game is only a couple hours long but well worth it. I bought this game on Steam for $22 because of the mass Steam sales. I whole heartily recommend this game to all Back to the Future fans.

Icarus revealed to be Bioshock: Infinite

August 12, 2010 Games, Web

Well, today’s the day. Today is the day that whatisicarus.comÂ finally reveals its secrets. It’s not System Shock 3, and it’s not a new IP. No, it’s another Bioshock game. Now, some may groan, and some may moan, but wait! This is not your typical undersea fare you’ve grown to expect out of the series. No, this game, this “Bioshock Infinite”, is set in a new place. This game is set in Columbia, a city in the clouds. A synopsis, straight from the website:

“BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter currently in development at Irrational Games, the studio behind the original BioShock (which sold over 4 million units worldwide). Set in 1912, BioShock Infinite introduces an entirely new narrative and gameplay experience that lifts players out of the familiar confines of Rapture and rockets them to Columbia, an immense city in the sky.

Former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt has been sent to rescue Elizabeth, a young woman imprisoned in Columbia since childhood. Booker develops a relationship with Elizabeth, augmenting his abilities with hers so the pair may escape from a city that is literally falling from the sky. DeWitt must learn to fight foes in high-speed Sky-Line battles, engage in combat both indoors and amongst the clouds, and harness the power of dozens of new weapons and abilities.”

Judging by the logos at the bottom of the screen, Irrational is sticking with Xbox 360, PC, and PS3 as their platforms.

This news is not exactly what I was expecting. Personally, I was hoping for a new IP. However, I’m glad the franchise is moving someplace other than Rapture. Another story set down there is not what the series needs. What do you think? Is it too soon for another Bioshock announcement? Will you pick it up? Let us know in the comments.
