There just isn’t enough humor in law enforcement these days.  Everyone is too focused on being the next Jack Bauer, instead of the next Carl Winslow.  Luckily Telltale Games haven’t forgotten what it was like when the badges could both uphold the law and tickle your funny bone all at the same time.

In their upcoming iPad release Hector: Badge of Carnage, players get to know a hard talking, yet lovably bumbling British cop by the name of Hector.  Lets just say that when you have the moniker of, “the fat arse of the law,” you can bet that some hilarity is bound to ensue.

The first installment in this episodic series, entitled We Negotiate with Terrorists, will pit Hector against the vile forces of terrorism, as they target the already crime infested city of Clapper’s Wreake.  How will he live up to the pressure?  Only God knows, but be sure to download the app when it debuts on April 27th, so you can know as well.

We will leave you with a brief trailer showing you what Hector has in store for us all, later this week.



Sam & Max is making an appearance on the iPad in this Telltale debut title. This title is Episode one of the The Devil’s Playhouse, which has celebrated a lot of success in other platforms. The enhanced graphics and expanded real estate makes this game a perfect marriage to the iPad.

“Sam & Max just feels right on iPad,” said Kevin Bruner, CTO, Telltale Games. “The gameplay experience is incredibly intimate and tactile. Playing the game on iPad truly feels different to anything else.”

Additional features have been implemented in order to more effectively utilize the iPad’s enhanced touch features. This five episode series has the potential to really shine on the iPad. Check it out for the iPad at $9.99.
