For a while there it looked like the beautifully drawn, comedy adventure was a thing of the past, but you just can't keep a good genre down, it seems, especially with someone like Autumn Moon's CEO Bill Tiller out there championing the cause. His latest, A Vampyre Story, follows the misadventures of a naive young vampire trying to follow her dreams and realising that life isn't easy ... especially after you die.

We talk to Tiller (not only Autumn Moon's CEO, but also a hot-shot ex-LucasArts designer and artist) about this vamprye story, what's up with adventure and overcoming the odds.

I don't care who you are, Sam & Max are your favourite freelance police from the department of excessive force. Look, it's not even worth debating. The snappy banter, the oddball humour, the cock-eyed parody and the main characters who seem to get excited about everything — especially the opportunity to get deeper into trouble — make Sam & Max strangely compelling, like a hideous car crash ... in toon town.

We talk to Telltale senior designer Dave Grossman and he gives us the skinny on Sam & Max's new episodic nature, what it's like to start from scratch on the sequel to a cult classic twice, and why he's humming all of the time.
