Game Debate writes: "Adventure gamers across the globe were horrified back in 2004 when plans for Sam and Max: Freelance Police were shelved late into development. The 1993 original, Sam and Max Hit The Road - a surreal take on the classic detective tale - saw the dog and rabbit detective duo tracking down a missing yeti in backwater USA. The satirical humour and bizarre characters made it an instant hit, and gave it an enormous and rather loyal fanbase. In fact, over 32,000 signatures were gathered in aid of the sequel's resurrection after the shock announcement."

Santa Claus. Father Christmas. Kris Kringle. St. Nick. He's the most benevolent man in the history of the entire existance of the world. The human embodiment of the generosity, joy and Olympic-standard eating that Chrstmas is all about. Truly, he is the best of all of us. So why on earth would you want to fight him? As non-instinctive actions go, it's right up there with sending kittens to war.
But video games make us do it more than you might expect. In fact there are plenty of games that take in, or even culminate in, a violent throwdown with the best person ever. Sometimes these games try to come up with a good reason for it. Sometimes, of course, the jolly bearded man you battle isn't the real Santa at all. And in one case it turns out that fighting Santa is possibly the best thing you'll ever do. You're intrigued, aren't you? So click onward and find out what we're on about.
Those of you who watch the credits on Sam & Max episodes will be familiar with the name of Joey Camen. The talented voice actor can be recognised in the games as the voice of Bosco and the Two-Teeth family, and has lent his voice to many different games and shows throughout the years.
Joey was kind enough to offer up his time to answer some questions in an exclusive interview for samandmax.co.uk
From Gamertell:
"Telltale Inc. today (February 11, 2010) confirmed during the Macworld 2010 expo that it will, indeed, be releasing games for Mac.
Even better, the releases begin today (February 11, 2010) with Tales of Monkey Island."
Games can also vote on the next Telltale series style game to be release in March for Mac.
Basically all reviews for Sam and Max should be "BUY THESE GAMES FOR THEY ARE AWESOME".
I hope more devs take note of the success of TellTale Games. We need an adventure game renaissance, where all the original LucasArts team get together and make new a Monkey Island and Grim Fandango!
