So here it is. The final part to the latest season of Telltale Games’ Sam and Max. In this season alone the duo have stopped an alien invasion, quelled the rising of an Elder God, dethroned an Egyptian Pharaoh and fought off an army of clones. Now Max is possessed by an Elder God and is rampaging and destroying the city while armies of his flaming head feed off the dreams of the sleeping. Sam only has a short amount [...]
The last time we left Sam and Max, they were about to be set upon by a horde of clones of our lovable but chubby Sam. The penultimate episode of the third series of Sam and Max begins with you holed up in Stinky’s Diner fighting off the Samulacra in an episode which looks set to challenge “The Tomb of Sammun-Mak” as the best of the season so far. Does it succeed? Read on and find out!
As everyone who reads PlusXP should now be aware, I’m a massive point and click fan, and I truly love Telltale Games. I’ve also been reviewing the new season of Sam and Max, subtitled “The Devil’s Playhouse” episode by episode. This time, we’re continuing from the stellar “Tomb of Sammun-Mak” with the promising “They Stole Max’s Brain!”
Leaving off directly from the end of the previous episode, Telltale Games don’t hesitate to take you on another incredible adventure of mystery and hilarity in the second episode of the Devil’s Playhouse season. The Tomb of Sammun-Mak is not only better than the Penal Zone, but could possibly be one of the best episodes of the Sam and Max series.
So, the return of the intrepid duo of a suit-wearing dog, and a hyperkinetic rabbity thing, otherwise known as Sam and Max, the freelance police. A couple of years after Season 2, Telltale Games have come back with a brand new overhaul to the Sam and Max Series. Included are new graphics, a new gaming engine, overhauled inventory and dialogue systems, and a brand new way to play.
My love of TelltaleGames has been repeatedly well documented. From their origins in reviving the Sam and Max series from Lucasarts Games after the cancellation of Full Throttle 2 and Sam and Max: Freelance Police, they have since gone on to thrive. Between new series of Sam and Max, episode game series such as Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People (based off the popular Homestar Runner series), Wallace and Gromit, and last year’s phenomenal Tales of Monkey Island, Telltale [...]
Telltale Games are one of my favourite developers this generation, providing Point-and-Click lovers like me with a chance to relive one of the greatest genres of gaming of the 90′s. I may have started off gaming with Nintendo, but the thing that started off my love for PC Gaming was undeniably the Monkey Island series, as my dad had both the first games on CD, as well as some of the old Sierra ‘Quest’ games on floppy disks. Regardless, Monkey [...]
