Ooh, sounds interesting. Although I havn't played hte CSI games (I prefer 3rd person adv. games) it seems Telltale are stepping up. I can't wait to see more of bone.

Jeez, when I suggested they were working on CSI-like projects (here (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=12143.msg230105#msg230105)), I didn't mean CSI exactly. What a waste!

... I liked the CSI game, a tad on the easy side but pretty good.

Yes, but now with creators that know the adventure genre, it may be a heck of a lot better.

Thinking about it, this seems highly unlikely.
Why would Ubisoft sell the rights to TellTale? They're probably making money from the current games, and they're not exactly hurting for money.
Where would TellTale get the money to buy the rights? I doubt that poker game has filled their coffers to brimming.

More likely they've just come to some agreement, with TellTale developing and Ubi publishing.
