Hector: Badge of Carnage "Episode 1: We Negotiate With Terrorists" was a particularly fun and hilarious point-and-click adventure game for the iPod that featured solid writing and a unique hand drawn art style. It followed the titular Detective Inspector Hector as he rushed around the British town of Clappers Wreake trying to resolve a hostage situation.
Despite its cartoony art style, Hector is quite clearly designed to be played by more adult audiences with its own unique brand of humor as the trailer below clearly illustrates. The game was quite well received and it's well worth checking out on the Appstore.
Up until now there has been little information about the future of the series, but today Telltale Games (among other things) announced that they will be working with the Irish developer of Hector, Straandlooper, to bring Hector: Badge of Carnage to the PC and Mac and also that they would be helping Straandlooper complete Episodes 2 and 3 later this year.
Episodic adventure games are very much Telltale's area of expertise so its no surprise that this has happened. In any case, fans of both Telltale and Straandlooper should look forward to some good point-and-clicking fun this year.
