Magnum PI meets James Bond meets Shaft with a pinch of Scooby Doo. That's the most appropriate description for Episode 4 of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People - "Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective". Every time a new episode of this series comes out gamers can always count on two things, its going to funny and a new theme will take the HomestarRunner characters in a completely new direction. This latest offering is no exception, and thanks to a more streamlined storyline, Strong Bad is starring in his best game yet.
The latest installment of Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People, "Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective", will be out November 17 on the Wii and PC. The series has been great so far (its averaging a healthy 4.75 review score from your's truly) but episode 4 is the best yet. Look for the review to be posted on launch day.
While you wait for Monday to roll around, check out this gameplay video from Episode 4.

It's that time of the month again. Its time for another episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People (unattractive people need not apply). Episode 3, "Baddest of the Bands", does nothing to sully the fine reputation the series has built so far. In fact, Baddest deftly moves from the political satire of Episode 2 into the world of rock and roll culture, a place just waiting to be spoofed, which Strong Bad does marvelously in this latest offering.
If you've been looking for a "Behind the Music/The Office" style look at Strong Bad's latest episode of his cool game from attractive people (and why wouldn't you be), check out the above video. The hilarious third episode moves from the political satire of episode two, into the ripe for parody world of rock and roll. Set to release sometime this month, Episode 3 "Baddest of the Bands", sees Strong Bad let down his hair and jam. Actually, in this episode he's more David-Silver-booking-acts-for-the-Peach-Pit-After-Dark than Eric Clapton but you'll enjoy it anyway.
Look for the review on its yet to be determined release date. An interview with Baddest of the Bands designer Mike Stemmle will be posted Thursday.
Autumn of Arcade - GPArcade's AofA marches on. Still haven't posted a comment yet? What are you waiting for?!? Its the only way you can win one of three 1600MS point cards I'm giving away this week.
The first episode of "Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People" proved the red mask wearer with a Napolean complex can successfully transition from the web to a video game. True to their word Telltale will soon be releasing episode 2, "Strong Badia the Free". While we anxiously wait to see if Strong Bad can continue his strong start, check out this Pattonesque teaser trailer.
The first episode of "Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People" is out and recently GamePro had a brief conversation with Homestar Runner writer, animator and voice actor Matt Chapman.
GP: What about point and click games do you think makes them more conducive to humor?
Matt Chapman: I think inventory puzzles and especially dialog puzzles have way more opportunities for humor than, say, a kart game or a platformer or a FPS. Most games can only squeeze the funny in through cutscenes or the humor is just dressing over some other kind of game. But it's easier to make jokes when pretty much every thing or person you click on yields some kind of response. In a FPS there can just be funny billboards in the background.
Its a big week for downloadable fun-ness. On the 360 and PS3 gamers can grab Bionic Commando: Rearmed for ten clams (PC gamers pay $5 more). If you like drunken gambling try Fable II Pub Games - Fortune's Tower, Keystone, Spinnerbox -on XBLA for a paltry 800MS Points.
On the Wii gamers can pick up the first episode of the very excellent Strong Bad game (see review below) as well as Break In and Star Parodier.
Read on for all the details on the Nintendo releases.
Its difficult to type while wearing boxing gloves but somehow Strong Bad, the most popular character on the Flash animated internet cartoon Homestar Runner, does it with flair. Fans of the site typically only get to be viewers of HR's unique brand of humor but now, with today's PC and Wii release of the first episode of "Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People", they finally get to be active participants. Does Homestar Runner's transition from web cartoon to video game work? Let's put it this way, after playing this title you'll be lining up to the right to personally give the lucha libre mask wearer some high fives.
