Episode 2 of Bone series available now
The second installment of Telltale's episodic Bone series is available for download, starting today, for the newly reduced price of $12.99. There is also a packaged version available for $17.99, a combo pack with Episodes 1 and 2 for $24.99, and the download includes a free trial mode so you can try before you buy. The story:
It's Spring Fair time as The Great Cow Race begins - with games, goodies and challenges. Gran'Ma Ben is preparing to compete in the Great Cow Race (yes, she'll be running) and Phoney Bone hatches a devious plan to profit from the competition. Meanwhile dark forces are at work in the mountains.
An early review from Eurogamer gives the title a 7/10, praising the improved puzzles, while lamenting the short four hour play time. Apparently their major beef is the title's juvenile sensibilities which haven't changed since the first episode. "If there's one area Bone could improve on, it's the killer lines - and, selfishly, it needs to stop pandering to the kids so much." Thankfully the Sam & Max demographic is a little older!

Brilliant, it means Telltale will move on, and start on next Sam & Max. I just bought it and play it mins.
Love it if you like point and click.
