The new poll is.... interesting
The new poll is What do you prefer to play games on?
I voted for PC, but is Telltale gauging what consoles are the most popular for marketing reasons or for the sake of the poll? I don't see how this can be connected to the best of '08, as Telltale only have games on two of the systems listed.
So if you want a game on your favorite system, go vote!

I voted for the DS, myself. It's really spoiled me... I almost can't stand to sit in front of a PC screen to play a game anymore.
(maybe do a second fall for 2nd favorites
So it IS for marketing reasons.:eek:
Well.... most of what I do around here is for marketing reasons. But I won't tell if you don't.
How so? Do you mean like in the interface, or in the gameplay...?
We happen to be making games for consoles these days, so this is valuable feedback!
Gasp! Consumerism! CONSUMERISM! *flails arms wildly whilst running in circular patterns*
Also, I love the DS, but DS ports rarely work out, in my opinion, especially ports of PC games. Phoenix Wright comes to mind, but those were up-ports rather than down-ports, and of course the originals were designed for a handheld system as well, so that helps. Pacing and interface are huge deals on handheld systems, and a lot of developers seem to miss that.
Then again, playing Day Of The Tentacle on my DS (that was how I first played it) was a great experience, so it's entirely possible for an epic, classic-style adventure to work in that format, even if it wasn't designed for it.
Just curious, which ports of PC games have you played on the DS?
I recently played Ankh and CSI and both had some issues, but I think they would be easy enough to avoid during the porting process (stuff like simplifying the interface and making hotspots bigger). I've heard that the Runaway and Tunguska ports are pretty good, but they're not available in the US yet.
Even now, i am playing L4D...the amount of annoying, rude, bossy people.... issh. Funny how i don't meet these people in real life. Where do they live?
On a sidenote, i'd never favor any telltale game on wiiware over pc. SB for example, would amount to like 50$+, and via the telltale site, 35$... + i favor the PC versions of such game. So please....no non-pc releases from telltale. That would make us sad
That being said, I would love to see Sam N Max come to the DS because even after I have finished the game I still like to go back and play through it, because the whole production is so great it's like watching a weekly TV series and it takes about the same amount of time. It actually replaced a few shows that quit watching after the writer's strike boned them.
Platformers are CRAP on PC! (unless you have a control pad)
Wii (or any game console really, but seeing as the only console that I have that still has games coming out for it is the Wii I chose that.
DS
PC
It's not that I dislike playing on the PC, but one reason it's so low on my list compared is because I share the computer with other people. Thus I can't play games on PC just anytime I want to, unlike w/ my Wii and DS.
In addition to that is because if I see a game I'm intrested in for the Wii and DS, I know I can play it. And don't have to worry about the specifications. My current PC is getting long in the tooth, and while it plays City of Heroes, the TTG games and Team Fortress 2 well enough, I can't play the majority of the games that have come out in the last couple years/PC versions of 360 and PS3 games. Especially Left 4 Dead. God I wish I could play that.
