Sam & Max Now On The iPad

"iPad Gaming" isn't a phrase that's ever taken seriously. Sure there's some games for it, but in no way is it classified as a gaming system/platfrom. Although, all of that could change very soon.
TellTale Games has just released a trailer for their first iPad title, Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse. The crazy thing about this is that it's not a crappy port that's missing a bunch of content, or a cleverly designed iPad only game. This is the exact Sam & Max game that's launching on the PS3, and PC later this month.

Sam & Max were first seen in comic strips in 1987, they then traveled into the video game world with Sam & Max being developed my LucasArts. In 2004 TellTale Games was founded by a group of former LucasArts  employees who had been working on Sam & Max: Freelance Police, the sequel to Sam & Max: Hit the Road. TellTale Games is now known primarily for their episodic adventure games such as Tales of Monkey Island and their Sam & Max seasons.

New Dragon Age game in early 2011

EA has just announced a new title in Bioware's Dragon Age series to come out early 2011. There's no word on whether this will be a direct sequel to the critically acclaimed "Dragon Age: Origins" or if this is going to be some sort of spin-off.

There is however some very interesting news which leads to be believe this will not be a direct sequel to "Origins". This new Dragon Age title will also be available on handhelds. There's no word on whether this means handhelds like the DS or PSP, or whether it will show up on the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad. Seeing how Bioware has also done a Mass Effect spin-off on the iPhone/iPod Touch called Mass Effect: Galaxies, I wouldn't be surprised to see Dragon Age get the same treatment. Regardless, I for one am excited about anything new in the Dragon Age series, as it was one of my favorite new IP's of 2009.
