What did Doc tell you? 88 miles per hour!!!

No one’s really more excited about this than I am. Because they dearly love to spoil us, Back to the Future: Blitz Through Time (on Facebook) will be one of several free social games that adventure game developer Telltale Games (creators of Monkey Island and Sam & Max, among others) will be releasing before the much-anticipated debut of the five-episode Back to the Future: The Game, set to come out in early December (and will go on to releasing the remaining four episodes through April 2011).

It’s pretty easy. Your main mission is, you guessed it, reach 88 miles per hour, but by doing so you need to match the colored molecules, which will then start a chemical reaction in your flux capacitor, thus, powering the engine of the time machine. When the engine hits 88 mph, you get warped into a new time and that’s where you can build up on your points. Naturally, your score competes with other players’, so make sure you’ve had enough practice with Bejeweled Blitz first for a more decent showing in this one.

Try the game out here!

One. Two. Zero. (UNO 2.0)

Part of our online effort is to remain ubiquitous and rendered across the Internet. It’s true that we have one big blog that houses articles we grab from the magazine, but the future holds more than this. UNO Online is set to become an independent product, at least that’s the goal.

We’ve set up other social media properties to help get the word out for all our efforts — photos, videos (soon!), articles and what have you’s. But more importantly, our goal is to have our online efforts be one big conversation on the Internet with our readers. Writing an email to the editor in chief doesn’t seem to be a good practice of community nowadays, especially when a magazine can go online.

So apart from the blog, here are the other ubiquitous ways to reach us:
