The first details for Telltale's Back to the Future episodic series are out, and even as someone who has to normally be forced into playing adventure games, I'm feeling this one.
Thanks to USA Today, we now know the following: Marty McFly and Doc Brown (voiced by Christopher Lloyd) are in it; Bob Gale, the screenwriter for the three films, is working with Telltale on the plot; there are five episodes planned; and the DeLorean, Hill Valley, and 1985 will be in the games.
Like I said, they're off to a great start with these admittedly basic first details. One step at a time.

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Now, how the hell is Michael J Fox so busy that he can't voice Marty in this?
I'm sure the Parkinson's makes it really hard for him.
I really hope Michael is in good enough shape to do this. It's a damn shame that he's fighting that terrible illness and I hope doing something like this isn't too hard on him.
Oh well. Just goes to show how much I know about degenerative diseases.
