So, let me tell you a Telltale...

It isn't exactly breaking news that Telltale announced a partnership on a project called Minecraft: Story Mode back in 2014. Well they have finally teased a little more about it, most notably that there *might* be details given at MineCon in the UK on July 4-5th.

"Telltale's series will mix new characters with familiar themes, in an entirely original Minecraft experience, inspired by the Minecraft community and the game that continues to inspire a generation," Telltale had included in their original announcement last year.

I actually was not part of the first adopters of Telltale games, having only bought the collection/season packs of their latest releases about 6 months ago. Based on first impressions of what I've seen, I'm glad they waited before tackling this franchise. Their first few Walking Dead games and even the Fables series were a bit wonky, with a few odd glitches/bugs/loading and stuttering. The recent releases though of the Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands have been a staggering improvement.

Don't expect amazing graphics, but the game play was given a much needed technical polish. The story and dialogue have been given a touch of the awesome, especially for the Tales from the Borderlands.

High hopes that they may even include cross-game (is that the term?) items/lore. Maybe exploring more about the mystery behind Music Disk 11? Maybe simply why you physiology is vastly different from the locals? Only MineCon will tell...

  2. ROBLOX is driven by an ever growing membership base of more than 300,000 creator players who produce an infinite variety of highly immersive experiences.

    These experiences range from 3D games and contests, to interactive adventures where players can take on new identities to imagine what it's like to be a dinosaur, a miner working a mine or an astronaut on a space exploration.
