This week on the TouchArcade Show, we push through viable conversations about spitting into each other’s mouths to bring you the most exciting and entertaining video game news and oral reviews of the week! At the top we dig into Squids and The Dark Meadow, and then smoothly move into subjects like cat games, good-looking games with crappy mechanics, and other interesting junk that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. This week’s episode is a good one, folks!

FRONT PAGE!
About this whole Shadow Gun/Dark Meadow graphic-whoring thing - I guess that with iOS we're still in a transitional stage, where people react to those games like 'holy shit, my iPhone/iPad can run graphics THIS GOOD ?!' and that's the reason why they're ready to defend these titles despite the gameplay issues. I think that over time we'll definitely see more and more games not only showing off the graphical capability of the devices, but also having solid gameplay to supplement it.
I have the biggest ****ing smile on my face right now.
Can't wait for this... Larry is the first computer game I played, and back in the 90's I was a huge Sierra fan. The new graphics look great, hopefully the style won't be too exaggarated cartoon. Monkey Island I & II remake style would be perfect.
click on adventures don't do it for me.
when larry was released it was the perfect game.
as soon as i'm able to type in commands again i will try it. but as long as it's click on it's a complete waste of time.
I disagree with Michiel. I think moving to a click interface was a natural progression from the old "type and pray" interfaces. I thoroughly enjoyed all the old Sierra adventures... Leisure Suit Larry, King's Quest, Space Quest... and all the other off-shoots like Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlanta (probably my favorite game of all-time).
If the game is done right, this could be a hilarious reboot to a great franchise!
I'll buy it no matter how crappy or expensive it is. However, I do think abandoning the old art from the VGA remake of Larry 1 is a mistake. The original Pixel art is much better than this new vector art crap. I hope they go the monkey island route and let us play with the original art.

Sweet merciful heaven, my year is made by this announcement alone. It can't come soon enough.
Why? Who thought this was a good idea?
Im not saying Larry is bad or anything it was alright but honestly now that I'm nit a overly hormonal teen, I find it much less appealing. That begs the real question others have almost brought up. Why are we seeing this before space quest and kings quest? I practically cut my pc gaming teeth as Roger wilco back in the day and have always wondered why you couldn't get any sierra game apps. If this is the only franchise I'm sorely disappointed, however if it's just the beginning I'm very excited
FYI telletale are currently rebooting the KQ series.
Larry was never about porn/nudity, It's extremely well written and is to be appreciated even more so as an adult.
I agree... I've always enjoyed the LSL series most for it's humor, be it somewhat crude and dirty at times. That's why the Monkey Island series is also a standout adventure games series. Most adventure games focus more on the puzzles and story, and forget the most important element for an enjoyable experience...the humor. The last couple of LSL games have been so crappy, and they can seem to recapture the magic that made the first 7 games so entertaining. It's hard to believe that they haven't done this already. It’s what every fan of the LSL series would want. I can’t wait till next year.
You quickly turn around, play Sierra classics on your iOS device, and feel much better. A hint of a smile crosses your lips.
game was too short, thats about the only complaint i got. But i guess for ios standards thatll fit in nicely. Hope, they dont opt out of the sex scene either, because thats the whole game dammit.
Hell yeah.. I know it's probably too soon but I'm really hoping LSL HD is successful and that it leads to the development of LSL8 Lust in Space...
Oh, and bring Al Lowe back!
