Hector: Badge of Carnage reports for extra duty

If you're a fan of the lewd, crude, and rude but don't own an iPhone, take heart because Telltale Games has brought the first episode of Straandlooper’s comedic adventure series, Hector: Badge of Carnage, to PC and Mac today.

Originally released for iPhone and iPod Touch last year, the series centers on bumbling bobby Hector's attempts at booze-fueled policing in the city of Clapper's Wreake, the most crime-ridden hole in all of Great Britain. The first episode, We Negotiate with Terrorists, pits the sodden protagonist against a terrorist who refuses to release his hostages until a list of altruistic demands are met. When Hector is the only cop able to talk with him, it falls on his rounded shoulders to clean up the town as the terrorist asks or risk the lives of his fellow officers.

The new release is not simply a port of the iPhone original, as the game now features enhanced graphics and new hint and save-game systems. This enhanced version of We Negotiate with Terrorists is available today for download on PC and Mac from Telltale’s website for $9.99, and is expected soon on iPad at the App Store.

The next two episodes, Senseless Acts of Justice and Beyond Reasonable Doom, are scheduled for release later this year. If you're unsure whether to book this series or let it off with a warning, you can check out our review of the game’s original iPhone release.
