Telltale games have created some of my favorite games for the iPad, most notably their recent series of Back to the Future titles. But having finished with Marty McFly, the team have turned their focus to building another iPad adventure inspired by a fantastic film.

The first episode in a series of Jurassic Park games is now available to purchase from the App Store.

The title is priced at $6.99, which is a familiar figure for most Telltale releases. But for fans of the film, it could be seven dollars well spent. At least that’s what the trailer above would certainly lead you to believe.

Episode one, entitled The Intruder, begins during the first half of the Jurassic Park film:

The story begins during the last half of the first Jurassic Park film, where the island’s security systems have failed and the dinosaurs now roam free. When Nedry fails to deliver the stolen dinosaur embryos, his contact Miles ventures into the dark jungle with Nima, a professional smuggler. Elsewhere, park veterinarian Gerry tours Jurassic Park with his daughter Jess in what he thinks is a safe area of the island.

In the trailer, its developers promise that this is “the very same game that you will see on full-size consoles and computers.” That means you can expect terrific visuals and breathtaking sound effects, which you can stream to your Apple TV via AirPlay. But there is one caveat to that: you’ll need an iPad 2 with a dual-core A5 processor to play the game.

This release might just persuade me to take a break from Modern Warfare 3 tonight and pay some more attention to my iPad.
