Less moogles, more swearing

[prog]

The new Penny Arcade XBox game takes its gameplay cues from Final Fantasy, and is $20 despite being the first chapter of a downloadable episodic series. I find both of these facts surprising; I guess I was expecting something more like the Sam & Max games. Well, good for them that they're trying something new (sort of), but that's a double sawbuck I'm not spending.

What I really want is Sam & Max on my XBox. There are plenty of Googlable articles hinting at the advent of this very thing, and they're all over a year old. No idea if this means that good things are in store soon, or if it's a dead issue.

Oh but apparently there's a Wii version coming out. Cool.

Not only that, but apparently the company that has been doing the Sam And Games post-LucasArts is also putting together, in co-operation with the Brothers Chaps, a Homestar Runner 3-D adventure game for the Wii. If it's any good (and given the excellence of both the Sam and Max stuff and the Homestar Runner stuff, it may well be), I may actually finally clear out the area it would go and get myself a Wii to play it on.
