You've heard the rumors, sensed the speculation and wondered when you would hear more... the time is nigh, friends.
We introduce to you a warped new path in the world of Sam and Max, a new direction calls to them from another world... another dimension of mystery, within The Devil's Playhouse. Step closer, and see a preview of the macabre to come: Max harnessing mysterious psychic abilities, simple toys that are more than what they seem, new and old characters who find their place in the five-part saga that spins tales of the unknown.
On April 15th, The Devil's Playhouse will open its doors, becoming available on PC, Mac, and marks Telltale's debut on PlayStation 3!
Perhaps you'd like to secure your admission? Pre-Orders are available right now for $34.95 on our site, with pre-orders on PlayStation Network coming soon. Perhaps questions still assault your brain, your thirst for information is not quenched? You will find a trailer, FAQ and wealth of resources at our new Sam and Max page.
The time has come to clear space on your video game shelf, because the Tales of Monkey Island DVD is coming! Not only will it feature both the PC and Mac version of Tales, it's jam packed with extras like design team commentary videos, official trailers, all five "I Wonder What Happens..." videos, desktop wallpapers and a sneak peek at Telltale's newest game, Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse!
Expected to ship in Spring, PRE-ORDER NOW for just the price of shipping, and make sure your DVD is one of the first out the door. Feeling shipping savvy? For a limited time, we're offering free shipping for orders over $50 (excluding prints, running until March 28th) so if our fantastic new merch strikes your fancy, your DVD will be super-free.
It wasn't enough to just offer the disc, we wanted a Deluxe edition of the DVD to complete the experience. Under the guise of a "vacation cruise", we tricked the entire Tales of Monkey Island team into sailing across the world to find relics of Guybrush's adventures. Excursions to the Rock of Gelato for autographed sextants were unsuccessful, as was pursuing the lost adventures of our friend, Lefty the Poxed Hand. Luckily, most of the team returned with treasure in hand, though some with a wicked case of scurvy, and some with merely a tan.
Selflessly, they have granted us the privilege of sharing their private collection with DVD owners of discerning taste: order the Deluxe Edition DVD and you'll get the pre-order only Steve Purcell DVD slipcover and a handful of keepsakes recovered from the game. Among the collected treasures, you may recognize a mysterious Voodoo card from the Voodoo Lady, a map from Reginald Van Winslow’s collection, a piratey piece of eight, a drink coaster from Club 41 and a souvenir button from the Trial of the Century!
If you've already bought the season, these precious artifacts will only cost you $14.99 to upgrade, but if you're new to Tales of Monkey Island you can get the season, collector's disc and all the goodies for $49.99. In addition, we have loads of new Tales merchandise available in our store, ready for your discerning eye. New button packs, you say? A Voodoo card set?
Another night of flipping channels, and it's all reruns. But wait! Telltale Tuesday participants opened our eyes to the glory of premium programming... Why have normal, boring channels when you can have shows like this!:

PSSST, before you go... If you've been down about the lack of news floating through the blog-waves, don't despair. We have some interesting stuff coming your way (though to call anything more interesting than Telltale Tuesday is heresy, let's be honest here). Clear some space on your desks... and stay tuned.
That's right, folks! The wait is over for North American Wii gamers. Atari has released retail versions of Sam & Max Beyond Time & Space for Nintendo Wii and PC. You can grab the game now at a store near you, or pick it up right now at Atari's Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space store page!
For those not yet aware, Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space features all 5 episodes from Sam & Max's award-winning second season, where the Freelance Police must contend with the likes of a demonically-possessed Saint Nick, undersea primates, disturbingly foreign-sounding vampires and zombies, and Beelzebub himself in the hopes of preventing the fabric of the universe from coming undone.
