The Strong Bad reviews are in!
Posted by Emily	August 14, 2008
In theater, there is a tradition of staying up all night after a premiere, anxiously awaiting the reviews that will hit in the next morning's paper. It would be romantic to say that's what happened with the Strong Bad reviews (and after all the sugar on Monday, we certainly had enough jittery energy to stay up all night!), but the internet is a living beast, and the reviews have been rolling in all week with no sign of stopping. And guess what? They're pretty damn good! (Not to mention that, as WiiWare-World announced yesterday, Homestar Ruiner is currently the #1 game on WiiWare...) Here is some of the awesome praise we've been seeing for Homestar Ruiner, the premiere episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People: N-Europe, 9/10 SBCG4AP is virtual proof that the point-and-click adventure game is alive and well, and still extremely fun and rewarding to play. This is one of the funniest and best Wii games released to date, period. And the best? There's still four more installments to come starting with Strong Badia the Free next month. Bring. It. On. Wired Game\|Life Blog, 8/10 I had a great time just walking around and clicking on things just to see what happened, as exploration is always rewarded with, at least, a witty remark from Strong Bad. The 3-D graphics replicate the 2-D Flash animation surprisingly well -- it's as if you're playing an episode of the show. Even being familiar with Telltale's work, I was genuinely surprised at just how much content is packed into this first episode. There's more to this entry! Keep Reading »

Give the gift of pseudorandom characters!

Good news! We've updated our store to allow you to give any downloadable game as a gift. Just add a game to your cart as usual, and you'll see a checkbox marked "I'm buying this game as a gift for someone else". Checking that is all it takes! At the end of checkout, you'll get a code you can give to the lucky recipient in the manner of your choosing. They can then redeem that code for their game. Hooray!

Alright so, hey guys! It seems that everyone in the world has been wondering when the first episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People will be released on PC and WiiWare. We're happy to report that we actually know!

Strong Bad Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner will be released for PC and WiiWare on Monday, August 11th!

Also, because we love you, we're opening up the store for Strong Bad Season Pass Pre-Orders! (Pre-order is just for the PC folks. Wii customers will have to wait 'til Monday to buy the episode fresh from the Wii Shop.)

To get ready for the imminent release, we've completely reworked the SBCG4AP website, with a new awesome videos section, updated information on the first episode, a new spiffier home for Strong Bad's official Dev Blog, an updated page for Wii customers, telling you how WiiWare works so you'll be prepared come next Monday. There are more surprises in the works as well!
