Bone: DS adventure renaissance continues [update 1]


[Update 1: The announcement was about Bone for the PC and not for the DS. It mentions that the publisher is "focusing on the PC and Nintendo DS markets", not the game. We apologize for the misunderstanding. Thanks to eric c for the correction!]

Before the episodic Sam & Max games, Telltale Games were known among adventure game holdouts for their adaptations of Jeff Smith's Bone comic series. They followed a similar business model: periodic, bite-sized chunks of delicious puzzle solving, set in cult comic book trappings.

Now publisher Xider is bringing the Bone games to the DS PC and unidentified games to the DS in Europe in 2007. We hope that they decide to bring them stateside as well, and that they don't decide to shoehorn weird touch screen/microphone puzzles into what is supposed to be a pretty good adventure series. It's still possible, but the identities of the DS games have yet to be announced.

We're so proud of our little DS, bringing back two of our favorite long-lost game genres: the graphical text adventure and the 3D adventure game.

1. Unfortunately, if you look at the original source article at GamesIndustry.biz, it seems that Game|Life misinterpreted the awkwardly written announcement. After deciphering the piece, the news story becomes "Xider will be publishing Telltale's Bone game for the PC in Europe along with other titles for the PC/DS." The DS games are unannounced.

2. Bone for DS piqued my interest! Guess we'll see what happens.

Speaking of Bone, I wish the re-release of the books in color would hurry along and come out sooner. It's my first time reading through the series. (on a side note, I always feel foolish traipsing through the young-adult section, but the books are good!)
