The Adventure Gamers interviewed Wolfgang Kierdorf, CEO of the new Germany-based publisher Bad Brain Entertainment who seems to be after the rights to make Sam & Max games: Rumor has it that Bad Brain is attempting to acquire the rights to Sam & Max: Freelance Police. What can you say about that?
No comment (I signed an NDA). All I can say is: yes, we are talking to LucasArts about a game that might involve animals, but that's all folks! I guess we will see what´s happening in March 2005 at the latest. Also check our website for more information about our games.

Sorry for the late start today, our usual Sunday posters must be hung over or in lockup somewhere (perhaps both). Nothing much is going on, so no big deal I suppose. Speaking of not much going on is this week's new releases. For the PC, we have Dark Age of Camelot: Catacombs, Shadowbane: Throne of Oblivion, The Chronicles of Riddick, Demon Stone and The Lord Of The Rings: The Battle For Middle-earth (DVD). Actually, that isn't too bad... I still want to check out Battle for Middle Earth despite the less than stellar reviews (I usually like Westwood games) and Riddick looks good as well. Catacombs offers at least a visual upgrade for Camelot, but I don't think anything can save Shadowbane at this point. Demonstone? It bombed pretty bad on the PS2, but maybe the improved graphics on the Xbox and PC will change people's minds. We can take a look at the full week ahead a bit later.
Today's question is: What games are you currently playing? Yeah, kind of a boring question, but like Dante said in Clerks, "I'm not even supposed to be here today!"
