Sam & Max Save the World was developed and published by Telltale Games. It was released June 17, 2009 for 1600MSP.

Point and Click adventure games were extremely popular in the 90s, but fell to the wayside once console gaming became more popular than computer gaming. The genre sat barely noticed for many years, but a new episodic format envisioned by Telltale Games tried to change that. Sam & Max Save the World is a compilation of six of the Sam & Max episodes where the dog and rabbit duo, otherwise known as the freelance police, must solve a number of crimes connected to an overarching plot. Sam and Max reinvent the adventure genre in a game that rewards a good thought with a good laugh.

Acclaimed movie and television star Sir Patrick Stewart, famous for his role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, now has a major role in the upcoming War of the Worlds game. His part is as the narrator, narrating the adventures of an average man trying to save his family from an alien invasion in 1953 London. The story will parallel the 1953 movie adaptation, but will follow different characters, locations, and a whole new story arc.

The game will be a 2D side-scrolling action-adventure, requiring players to use their wits to outsmart tripods, drones, and other alien menaces while crossing a devistaded landscape, but there will be a hint mechanism if you get stuck. The game will try and capture the fear and isolation of the original H.G. Wells novel by making players think fast or suffer an instant death. Today’s news came with some new screenshots, giving a glimpse in the game’s action. War of the Worlds will be released later this year. Check out the additional art and screenshots after the jump.

Aegis Wing was developed by Carbonated Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios. It was released on May 16, 2007 free of charge.

Aegis Wing pits players against a huge alien invasion in an adventure on space and Earth. The game is simple, containing few levels and focusing on score and cooperative play. This twin stick shooter is as bad as it gets: it’s not glitchy, it’s just a dull version of a genre overdone on XBLA. While it can have its moments in multiplayer, Aegis Wing is a word-for-word definition of the genre.
