The fourth chapter in the episodic Tales of Monkey Island will be going live later this week, and so Telltale has released a collection of screenshots to whet the appetites of those looking for their adventure game fix.

A Telltale games employee who goes by the username Yare has claimed on the official Telltale forums that the Apple iPhone packs more power than Nintendo's Wii home console. Not just more powerful, but "much more powerful."

Strong Bad is taking his boxing gloves and email-answering skills to Nintendo's Wiiware service this week as he debuts in Telltale Games' Strong Bad Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner. More in the full article.

Sorry, attractive people, but Strong Bad's Cool Game for you won't be making it to WiiWare today. It won't be long till it does come out though. An apology from Telltale studios after the link.

In case you missed the report last month, a Sam & Max port for the Wii has finally been announced to be in development. So what can we expect from the game, and how does it differ from the PC version? Answers in the full article.

For real? In a new year where Nintendo's WiiWare project draws dozens of mainstream and independent developers and where former mainstream developers unite to erect new indie studios, is the independent developer scene still as cut-throat as it was last year? Ninja Theory's Nina Kristensen, co-founder and chief developer, believes it is. More at the full story.

Telltale Games' Mark Darin and Greg Land recently talked about the pros of porting games to the Wii and DS platform in an interview by Cubed3. With games like CSI: Hard Evidence (PC, Xbox 360, Wii, DS) and the Sam & Max series under their belt, they also talked about how the Wii and DS can rekindle interest in the old-school point-and-click adventure genre. You can read the interview with the Telltale Games designers in the full article.

 While it's already been announced by JoWooD that seeing Sam & Max on the Nintendo Wii is something we all can expect, Telltale Games says otherwise - saying that as for now, the existence of a Sam & Max title on the Wii is up in the air. Puzzled? You're not the only one. See how the entire story plays out in the full article.

Great news for Wii owners looking for the opportunity to finally control a light saber with the Wiimote - you'll be able to swing, slash, and poke that humming blade of glowy laser death with Ninty's wand controller in the Wii build of the highly-anticipated Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga of Telltale Games.

In this video we see actual gameplay as it happens - and suffice to say, while it's not quite the 1:1 swordplay we're looking for, it's more than enjoyable, with intuitive controls to make battles fun and easy. For example, making your character jump up, and then dive straight down with a light saber stab is a mere vertical slash of the Wiimote away.

There's also the fact that your attacks will hit harder and hit faster the better you are at your Wiimote. Definitely good news for Wii owners and Star Wars fans. Updates as we get them, so enjoy the video!

Ubisoft announces today that Xbox 360 and Wii owners, as well as those with a Nintendo DS and PlayStation 2, will be able to enjoy a new CSI video game this coming Fall 2007. The new game will be known as CSI: Hard Evidence and is being developed by Telltale Games. The PC version ships with the console versions.

Staying true to the CSI franchise, Hard Evidence continues on the crime-solving brand of experience the public has first come to love on TV. The game itself follows the story of Gil Grissom, Catherine Willows, and the rest of the Las Vegas crew in solving crimes with the help of sophisticated lab equipments and realistic techniques. Other features are:

• More Crime-Solving Action: Break down the evidence and bring suspects to justice in five all-new, bizarre crimes. Unravel longer cases, search bigger crime scenes, and uncover hidden evidence in unique locations like never before.
• Go Deeper into the Evidence: Master new forensic tools and find more evidence than ever. Use the new Garage Lab to examine large pieces of evidence like cars and trucks. Recreate gunfights with ballistic lasers, uncover shocking secrets with video analysis, and much more.
• The Ultimate CSI Experience: Experience your very own CSI episodes as you piece together clues with the real CSI actors. Take part in dramatic interrogations, create grisly crime reenactments, and explore atmospheric crime scenes inspired by the show.

There is still no mention how Wii players will be able to use the motion-sensing controllers but Ubisoft has mentioned that CSI: Hard Evidence has been made compatible to the Wiimote and Nunchuk. What we have below are screenshots from the Xbox 360 build and the trailer video for all versions.
