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

We've got to go back to the island! Not back to that island though - it's Isla Nublar we're referring to, as Jurassic Park: The Game - Episode 3 roars to the iPad 2! 

In Jurassic Park: The Game - Episode 3, the group looks for escape through the dark maintenance tunnels that connect the park, while being hunted by relentless pursuers. Uneasy partnerships teeter on the brink until simmering tensions explode and the survivors turn on each other. 

You can grab the penultimate entry in the Jurassic Park tale that's been 65 million years in the making now - find it in the iTunes App Store!
