Trailers start The Great Cow Race in motion
In anticipation of the upcoming release of The Great Cow Race, developer Telltale Games has released a set of five videos that show the second episode of the Bone series in action. The new movies feature Fone, Phoney, and Smiley Bone, as well as the lovely (and slightly remodelled) Thorn, and a suspicious-looking patchwork cow.
The trailers are available in a 119 MB bundle from GamersHell or individually from WorthPlaying.
For fans more into audio than video, Telltale has also released the first three music tracks from the new game. The tracks are available in MP3 format directly from the Telltale website.
The Bone name should need no introduction by this point, of course, but in case you've been held prisoner by rat creatures for the last year, the episodic series of 3D adventures is an adaptation of Jeff Smith's beloved comic series. Having been cast out of their hometown and separated in episode one, the three Bone cousins meet up with an unusual cast of characters while a sinister but still mysterious subplot takes shape around them. The new episode sees the cousins reunited in the town of Barrelhaven, whose citizens are anxiously anticipating the annual cow race. For information about episode two, be sure to read our hands-on preview.

The Great Cow Race is charging down the home stretch in preparation for an April release.
