Is it safe to call them the BioWare of the adventure genre if this renaissance continues? Looking forward to the all-in-one pack on Steam which will no doubt eventually show up. Also looking forward to, I hope, a Loom reimagining... Telltale can seriously do no wrong. Is it safe to call them the BioWare of the adventure genre if this renaissance continues?

I love that a lot of the puzzles make some actual sense to me. Sure, the solutions are WEIRD, but they're not unbelievable. A friend has this on Wiiware and I was less impressed. Obviously it's not quite as sharp or clean, which is fine. Unfortunately it slows down constantly and the load times are much more noticeable (not when you get the loading animation, but when you get these random pauses for seemingly no reason). Either way, it's totally worth $10. I hope XBLA and PSN owners get a chance too. I can get over the episodic format for this. I like getting a break, but altogether 5 eps will be $50. Not bad!
