The freelance police officers known as Sam and Max have held a special place in my heart ever since their 1993 adventure, Sam & Max Hit the Road. After being revived by Telltale for an episodic gaming series, the first season eventually made its way to the Wii and XBLA as well. Season two, renamed Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space, also made the jump to the Xbox Live Arcade recently. Despite being similar graphically and gameplay-wise, the second season actually manages to improve upon the zany humor of the first six episodes. Although the console version still has a few technical hiccups, Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space features fantastic writing broken up into five perfectly paced episodes."
"Two classic Sam & Max games coming to PlayStation on September 29! Sam is a six-foot canine detective with a love of justice. Max is a hyperkinetic rabbity-thing with a taste for mayhem. Together, they’re the Freelance Police—an irreverent comedy duo whose esoteric crime-fighting style has been entertaining comic book and video game fans for more than thirty years.
In Sam & Max Save the World (aka Season One), a mind-control scheme involving washed-up child stars spirals to encompass the media, the mafia, the United States government, and the internet, building up to an out-of-this-world finale. In Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space (aka Season Two), Sam & Max are back on the crime beat in a showdown with Santa Claus, a race to subdue a giant volcano, and a face-off with a Eurotrash vampire... and then things get really weird. "
Skunkape Games has announced that Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space Remastered, their latest Sam & Max game, is now available on the GOG store.
Some frustration caused by obtuse puzzle solutions is unavoidable due to the source material, but everything else has been polished to a fine shine. Skunkape Games has done an incredible job of bringing this classic collection of Sam & Max adventures bang up to date and they’ve never looked or sounded better.
