Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded creeps to retail October 29
Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded is getting a boxed retail version, which will hit store shelves on October 29. The game is a remake of the first game in the series, and features music by Austin Wintory, the composer of Journey's Grammy-nominated soundtrack. Reloaded earned $655,182 on Kickstarter in May 2012, and launched on digital platforms in June, with the retail version originally being planned for July. Our review of the adventure game found it to be a "relic from a time when the thought of a video game character dropping an f-bomb was simply beyond consideration."

Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded review: Not too tired for another round
The internet was decidedly not for porn in 1987, leaving mainstream PC users to content themselves with fare like Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards. It was an "adult" adventure game from Sierra On-Line that was more silly than sexy and functioned on about a sixth-grade level of sophistication. But it was daring for its day and brought some genuinely amusing moments to the table, and it ultimately made enough of a splash to become one of the most famous games of all time – or infamous, if you're marketing a sequel – and it made a games industry star out of its creator, Al Lowe. 26 years later, developer Replay Games has added some new content and changed up a few puzzles for Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded, but the plot, characters, setting, schoolyard sophistication and even the ridiculous pre-game quiz to prove you're old enough to handle this sort of digital bacchanalia remain wholly intact.%Gallery-184790%

Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded needs to work out the kinks in its pick-up lines, but the game should be out by May 31 in North America, Replay Games CEO Paul Trowe told Shacknews."We should be in beta this week," Trowe said. "We need to get all the bugs and game freezes out of the way, and maybe do pick-up lines with the actors that may have been missed. We'll get the game to about 7,500 of our Kickstarter backers for the beta test, and they'll also be testing foreign language versions as well."The beta should run about two weeks, Trowe said, and when it launches, Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded will be $20 for PC, Mac and Linux. During GDC, Trowe told us he hoped to see Reloaded out between May 15 - 30. The game is scheduled to hit Europe in June for £15.
