I suppose it never even crossed your mind that this is your computer's fault and not the game's?
As a rule of thumb, if a graphically light game like Bone doesn't play well, it's because your computer needs an upgrade.

I only played the demo of Great Cow Race but I would have to say that:

Book>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The games.

No offense to telltale. But my descision is this because the parts that the game covers are really the game-friendly parts of the overall story, but also the way that the honey puzzle was solved. Personally I thought the one in the book where he simply climbed the tree and came back with the honey, but got all beat up in the process was better and flowed better (and less anti-climatic) than the in game one's Put hay cart on fire and make the cow charge into the area where the bee is to smoke him out.. I know they did it that way to be more "game-friendly" but still didn't seem as good to me. (but that may be partially because I kept trying it like he did in the book. )

Don't get me wrong, I thought the did a good job of bringing the book world into the game. And I did like the Cow Shooting Game and Muscle Man Society (or whatever it was called) brothers. Just perfer the book version.

Well, the book is great no doubt about it, but being able to see your favorite Bone characters in luscious 3D all the while being able to move around and interact with these characters in a full color digital environment straight out of the book isn't so bad either.

Was that sentence too long?

The books, but only because the games are unfinished.
