The Wii version of this doesn't come out until the 27th. Is there any reason to buy it on this system? I don't see why the wii version gets pushed back so far. A month late is a LONG time in the marketplace.
What was the reasoning behind putting this title on wii as an afterthought?
OH and dark motives on the DS? I mean this game is ancient now. Why continue to flood the already saturated market? Betting on pure install base to sell units?
edit: could have been worse. You could have made it for the psp :P
The Wii is coming in later than the others because it's a surprising amount of work to get a game designed to work on the PC with it's (relatively) unlimited memory, video, and processing resources to work on a Wii, which is by any standard (other than user input design) a technically modest machine. Also the Wii port is being "done right," by which I mean, the Wii port isn't just rejiggering resources and making only the necessary stuff work -- the whole engine is now up and running on the Wii (and the 360), which hugely broadens our console potential moving forward.
I'm not sure why Ubisoft didn't include the PS3 in the development strategy. Maybe because of the number of units currently out there? The PS2 is a bear to work with so I'm glad we didn't port it there.
Obviously, because of the online component of the PS3, Telltale will be looking to get our technology working on that platform at some point.
O, is that why WH Smith and Woolworths haven't got the game copies yet even though the release date was October 5th?
No, that's just them, get it from a game store online. The strikes will make the thing hard to get delivered but most stores won't get affected unless they buy and get it via. royal mail. Btw, myne HAS been shipped and is in whatever is left of the postal service, Royal's don't strike!
I enjoyed the game but it was a bit short for my liking, but then I did guzzle it down like it was a glass of water after I'd been in the desert for over 10 years!
I'm up to Case #5 and am not looking forward to finishing, although I haven't achieved Master in every level so I might go back and try to find what I've missed.
I like the addition of collecting bugs for Grissom.
Oh, one other thing ... I did notice some spelling mistakes/typos in the captions. I have them running so that I don't annoy the rest of the household with the commentary, I also find I read faster than the game talks so I can get through the interviews a bit quicker.
I wouldn't go by what Eurogamers gave it. They would't know a good game if it came up to them and said 'Hey i'm a good game.'
If it came up to them and said'proessional gamers say 9/10 or 10/10, give me high rating on your website!' Now to my ranting, my game has been dlayed a week off date and i'm really getting angry. I know this isn't a telltale thing. I just like to compain to noone that can help.
I have played CSI:Hard Evidence all the way through w/ out all TP's,evidence, and insects. I wanted to start fresh again from the beginning to collect everything for masters rank, I however, cannot collect 5th insect on first case which is in pipe in windmill. the toolbox is the only icon that appears when I try to collect. Does anyone have and technical problems on this?

I'm waiting for the 360 version to come down from the stupidly high price it currently is.
I'm not paying £40 for it.
