Strong Bad Gets His Own Video Game

August 7th, 2008 by Baconstrip

“In the season premiere, Strong Bad’s plans to beat the snot out of his rival Homestar Runner backfire, and he ends up with an unwanted houseguest cramping his style. Now he needs to get life back to normal, by any means possible. Comical point-and-click gameplay progresses the story, with side quests, mini games, achievements, and an “extended play” sandbox mode that unlocks after the story is completed rounding out the game experience.”

Homestar Ruiner will be the first in the five-part Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People series. Similar to Telltale’s Sam and Max episodic games, new installments are expected to be released on a monthly basis. Players will assume the role of the titular maybe-hero, solving puzzles and interacting with other denizens from the Homestar Runner universe.

The game will be available for the PC and Nintendo Wii August 11th.
