The Telltale Arcade features literally hundreds of downloadable game titles in a variety of categories - Action, Puzzle, Card, Strategy, Shooter, Breakout, Word, and even Multiplayer. These include recent popular downloadable games like Luxor, Oasis, Bejewelled and Diner Dash, and new releases like Mystery Case Files: Huntsville.

Gaming industry analysts IDC estimates that revenues from games classified as "casual games," like those available for download in the Telltale Arcade, will grow to $1 billion by 2008 from approximately $200 million in 2005.

"We're dedicated to creating a truly unique online destination with engaging content for a variety of audiences," says Troy Molander, Telltale's Chief Operating Officer. "As we've been planning the expansion of our website, we identified these types of downloadable games as a perfect complement to our other offerings. Last year, we released Bone: Out from Boneville based on Jeff Smith's popular comic books to showcase of our unique form of interactive stories. We also kicked off two new serialized web comic series, with Sam & Max: Freelance Police from Steve Purcell and Dank: Caveman Inventor from alternative comic creator Graham Annable."
