Great news for fans of Sam and Max: Telltale Games is bringing seasons 1 and 2 to Xbox Live Arcade! I’m a sucker for old-school graphic adventures so this puts a goofy smile on my face. More importantly, there are millions of gamers out there who have never been exposed to Sam and Max, so appearing on Xbox Live Arcade may bode well for further adventures in the future.
More details after the break!
Finally, Rockstar has released a video that clearly depicts the gameplay of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, coming soon for the Nintendo DS. I wasn’t expecting much from this title, but the footage on display here is very impressive. It’s obvious Rockstar is pushing the DS harder than anyone else. Can’t wait!
It has been known for a few days now that Sony plans on bringing their PS3 hit LittleBigPlanet to the PSP, but that’s all we knew. Now we have a few new tidbits of information that should get fans of Media Molecule’s platform masterpiece excited…or not. Mark Valledor, marketing manager for Sony, wrote a post at the official PlayStation blog where he announced that Media Molecule would not be handling the PSP version. Instead, Sony’s Cambridge studio will be handling the job and Mark is promising an authentic experience:
Building the game from the ground up, fans can expect new SackBoy adventures with the same play, create and share experience made just for gamers on-the-go — not to mention, brand new levels and environments — all of which are being created specifically for the PSP!
Only problem I see is that LittleBigPlanet can be a pretty frustrating game on the PS3 when using a decent controller. How annoying will movement be when using the PSP’s nearly worthless controls? I shudder at the thought.

Despite his death in 1973, Tolkien still manages to crank out a book now and then, thanks to the work of his son, Christopher Tolkien. Christopher has access to all of his dad’s notes and early works, even material and stories written prior to the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Christopher Tolkien has spent the past 30 years working on an unfinished manuscript of his father, a reworking of Norse epics called The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun. The work was written 80 years ago when Tolkien was teaching at Oxford University.
The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun is slated for a May release from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt publishers.
