Runaway: A Twist of Fate teaser trailer is out

Remember Runaway: The Road Adventure or Runaway 2: The Dream of The Turtle? You don't? Shame on you! Oh you do? Well so do I, and loved them both, especially the first one (the second one was mean because it ended in a cliffhanger). So, that makes me extremely pleased to post this little news bit about a first Teaser Trailer for the third game in the series, Runaway: A Twist of Fate. It's set to release on PC and the Nintendo DS on the 4th quarter of 2009, so you know, pretty soon. I have no idea if that's global release or not, by the way. It may be that the retail box will be available in Europe before it lands in North America, but I would expect the PC version to be globally available on your favourite digital game store. But yes, Teaser Trailer, check it out.

It looks pretty, awesome and pretty awesome. If the gameplay, voice acting and the quality of puzzles is as good as the previous games, this title seems like an instant winner.

I like point & click adventure games, by the way, it's no secret really. The recent re-emergence of Monkey Island as a "remastered" Special Edition, the new Tales of Monkey Island episodic adventure from TellTale Games, LucasArts' decision to bring their back catalog to Steam and sites like GOG.com that bring other classic adventure games back to life, has really made me a happy camper this year. And while TellTale and some other developers made some adventure games within the past few years, it's nothing really compared to this full-blown genre comeback that seems to be happening this year. It's certainly interesting to see where this all leads, come next year.
