Telltale Games

The envelope, please. It's time again for the annual Adventure Gamers Aggie Awards and a couple of Telltale's titles from last year have been awarded with prizes and mentions! 

First up, Back to the Future: The Game took home the year's Best Music award with Jared Emerson-Johnson's score earning praise from the Adventure Gamers staff for its evolution of the themes from Alan Silvestri's work on the classic film series. Sprinkling some Huey Lewis and the News into the game didn't hurt either.

Jurassic Park: The Game also claimed the award for Best Sound Effects! The team strove to recreate the atmosphere of watching the Jurassic Park films in the theater and having a rich soundscape of dinosaur growls and roars is a key part of that. 

Some of our games were also named runners-up in this year's Aggie Awards! They include: 

Runners Up - Editors' Choice

Best Writing - Comedy: Hector Badge of Carnage - Episodes 2 and 3

Best Character - Doc Brown (Back to the Future: The Game)

Ever wanted to know how we came to publish the Straandlooper created Hector: Badge of Carnage series? The folks at Gamasutra recently had a chance to chat with producer Dave Felton about how the whole shindig came to be. 

In the interview at Gamasutra, among other things, Dave goes into how the iOS platform has been such a great place for our games to live - "if you are enjoying a Telltale game on your mobile device, you won't just be telling your friends about it, you'll be able to show them."
