I say I don't like them, yet something intrigues me enough about their games that I've played most of them and always keep an eye on what they're up to.

Unlike many adventure gamers, I like some of their recent output better than the older. Sam & Max S1-2 are not very good IMO, but I actually enjoyed S3 on the PS3 quite a bit. That game did some new things with the adventure genre and I loved the Twilight Zone presentation of it.

Back to the Future is one of my favorite movies, but I had mixed emotions about Telltale's announcement that they were making the game. On the one hand I was finally getting a modern game of BTTF, but on the other hand BTTF needs to be in an open world with the ability to actually drive the DeLorean and ride hoverboards. I wound up mostly enjoying the games because they did a pretty decent job with the license.

I do like the idea of episodic games in general.
