Leave it to the point-and-click wunderkinds at Telltale Games to throw an all-star party like this. As gleamed by today's not-so-cryptic trailer on GameTrailers, Telltale Games has announced plans to unite the likes of Sam & Max, Strong Bad, Penny Arcade's Tycho and Team Fortress' 'Heavy' for one upcoming unnamed title.

Penny Arcade, the
webcomic that invented the “two gamers on a couch” genre, has had a stay of
execution regarding its long-dormant adventure game series, On the Rain-Slick

many suspicious a remake of Persona 4 might be coming. The latest issue of
Famitsu (reported by Sinobi and translated by Andriasang) confirms it: Persona
4: The Golden is coming to Vita. But Famitsu also unexpectedly added that
