    Sam And Max Totally Headed To The Wii

    Our money was indeed on a full release of the episodic Sam And Max season one for the Wii, and now all we have to do is sit back and wait for our winnings to pour in, as Telltale tells GameSpot official tales of just such a release. Both European and North American Wii consoles will be graced with the first season of the dog and bunny-thing show this fall, with Dreamcatcher and The Adventure Company handing U.S. publishing and JoWood handling Europe's version, which comes complete with German and French voiceovers plus Italian and Spanish subtitles. I almost want to import the Euro version, just to hear Max threatening people in the language of romance, or perhaps French. More »

    Sam And Max - Sometimes The Paranoid Are Right

    Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. This is a lesson the manic proprietor of Bosco's Inconvenience store learns in the latest episode of Telltale Games' episodic adventure series Sam and Max, Chariots of the Dogs. Due out March 13th on the GameTap service and a day later via Telltale's website, the puppy and rabbit-thing duo will be tasked with finding their friend, though with the prices he charges they'd probably be better off ransacking his store and calling it a day.

    Sam And Max Back In Print

    Telltale games is now taking preorders for the reprint edition of Sam and Max Surfin' the Highway, the 1995 paperback collection of Steve Purcell's comics that - alongside the 1993 LucasArts adventure - launched a failed cartoon and eventually led to the episodic adventures we know and love today. The book contains all of the original material plus 25 pages of extra content, including promotional material for the upcoming DVD release of the animated series! The book comes in two flavors: a $19.99 paperback shipping at the end of this month and a $49.99 limited-edition hardback signed and dated by Steve Purcell due out in the Spring. Order before the 29th of this month and you'll get a code good for a free copy of Sam & Max: Ice Station Santa, the first episode of Season 2 of Telltale's adventure series. Having an extremely dog-eared copy of the original in a place of honor on my bookshelf, I cannot recommend Surfin' the Highway enough. Go buy now. More »

    Sam And Max Versus The Nipple Ring Vampire

    If you aren't sold on Telltale Games episodic adventures of Steve Purcell's Sam and Max now that they're nearly three episodes into Season Two, I don't know what to say to you other than shirtless raver vampire with pierced nipples. This is the trailer for episode 3 of Season 2, Night of the Raving Dead, and as always the team at Telltale have managed to deliver a trailer almost as entertaining as playing the game itself. The old-timey black and white with German-language title boards grabs you, and Max shaking his little rabbit-thing ass towards the end reels you in. Look for Night of the Raving Dead for free on GameTap come February 12th, or for not-free at Telltale's website a day later. I leave you with this thought - would a vampire's healing factor reject piercings?

    2007's Best Freeware Games Chosen By The Authority

    The world's best gaming deals can't beat "free!", so for those without a gift card in hand this post-holiday season, you may want to take a gander at The Independent Gaming Source's best freeware games of 2007. The number of titles, across an amazingly broad 30 categories, point out the year's best shooters, platformers and RPGs that can be had without anything more than some disposable bandwidth. Topping the list is a game that I only recently discovered myself while searching for Gradius pics, a Warning Forever-style top down boss fight-only shooter named Fraxy. The Japanese freeware game lets players create their own levels (bosses) with an intuitive editor. Other titles you may already be familiar with, including Knytt Stories, Guxt, Sam and Max: Abe Lincoln Must Die and the now free Command and Conquer. More »

    Kevin Bruner On Why Episodic Gaming Works

    Kevin Bruner, one of the people behind Telltale Games and their Sam and Max series, sat down with gamesindustry.biz at the Nordic Game conference and talked about the promise and peril of episodic gaming - with mostly really positive things to say. His thoughts on the benefits of episodic games for developers reminded me of John Laurence's comments on the micro-transaction model - essentially, it allows more freedom to the developer to create what they want, since 'risk and cost can be lowered up front': More »

    Sam and Max Episode 5: Reality 2.0 has the potential to be the most exciting installment of the series yet. While I caught a glimpse of it at the Sam and Max GDC party, the official trailer manages to walk a weird line between humorous and disturbing that you just don't get from being shown a demo while wondering when the food is going to show up.

    GDC07 Party Time - Sam and Max

    One of the biggest attractions of the Game Developers Conference for both the game companies and the gaming news media would have to be the parties. Despite many of us being misanthropic shut-ins most of the year, there's just something about the lure of free booze and finger foods that brings out the socialite inside all of us. Take me, for instance. Before starting to write for Kotaku I hadn't been what anyone could consider drunk for the better part of seven years. Now, thanks to the wonderful people at Telltale Games, I have a terrible headache and woke up on the bathroom floor of our hotel room this morning. I feel like crap, but I don't blame the creators of the Sam and Max episodic adventure game series. No, I blame ordering 'something blue', pictured to the right there. More »

    GameVideos has a quiet little video of interviews with the folks at Telltale, who are currently working on the new Sam n' Max episodes. Each episode will be about an hour and a half, and from what I'm seeing here, it seems like these guys have a handle on what made the originals so good. Let's hope for some invovation without desecration, yeah? Eliza gauger

Ron Gilbert, game design's "funny guy," perceptively notes that "the problem with games is that you've taken timing away from the author and given it to the player, so in order to do comedy, you can't use alot fo the same techniques."

    Sam and Max Live!

    Readers of taste and erudition may remember the LucasArts game Sam and Max Hit the Road, widely recognized by people welcome in my home as the finest puzzle-adventure game ever. LucasArts recently cancelled a Sam and Max sequel, and Steve Purcell — the creator, artist, and writer of the series — is instead creating new strips for Telltale Games. The strips come out irregularly, and involve awkward mousing to actually read the dialogue, but fans of Purcell's work don't really have a lot of options. The latest strip is out, so if you haven't already done so, start with Chapter One. More »
