Like ’em or not, Telltale knows how to pick licenses for their games. Homestar Runner, Wallace and Gromit, Back to the Future, and coming in April, Jurassic Park. I’ve played about every video game based on my favorite film, hoping one would do the franchise justice. None of them really captured the cinematic style of the original movie, and I think thats why they all kind of sucked.

Telltale looks like they have it figure out, I just hope the gameplay is awesome . They get bonus points for incorporating the Barbasol can that Dennis Nedry drops after becoming Dilophosaurus food. The 8 year-old version of me always knew that would end up in a sequel.

Marty! The first trailer for Telltale Games’ Back to the Future is out and burning up the intewebs, and rightly so. It looks awesome. Granted, there’s no gameplay footage yet, but the art direction and voice acting looks great.

Christopher Lloyd is revisiting his Doc Brown character, and although Michael J. Fox isn’t joining in, it sounds like the actor they got to play his part is a pretty good choice. If the gameplay is enjoyable this game could be a great example of nostalgic properties being put to good use rather than exploited.
