SFGate:
The graphics are dialed down for the PS3 with some considerable slow load times and frame-rate lags. Minor differences, really, considering that Sam & Max create a fun and goofy environment, supported with an infectious Henry Mancini-inspired noir jazz soundtrack.

Gaming as a Parent ain't easy. Here are some features that game developers should consider to help gaming dad's like me enjoy their products the same way everyone else does.
I'm a parent and I don't need any of the things on that last.
Time management, learn to use it.
Well it's good to hear that you have a method to keep gaming. This may not be for you, but I don't think I'm the only one who would use these.
3) Super Easy Mode
LOL
Some games actually have that such as Uncharted 2 and Bayonetta. But overall, regular Easy mode suffices.
Yeah true usualy easy or even normal is enough, I just hate that most games cant be platinumed without at least 2 playthroughs
All of these suggestions can be easily countered with "manage your time better". It is very easy to be able to raise your child right without sacrificing their happiness, their health, or what you enjoy.
One day, your wife does everything while you game all day. Another day in the week, the role is reversed; you do everything while she games all day or does whatever she wishes. On a weekend, have the child stay at a friend's all day for a sleep-over so you and the wife can game and do 'other things' all day. Or catch up on house work if needed.
We all have to grow up some day, but nobody who knows how to actually plan and manage their time would have any problem figuring out how to be more responsible without sacrificing a hobby they love.
PushSquare: "Ultimately, it’s clever story-telling and interesting puzzles that are going to make you want to check out Sam & Max’s third season debut, The Penal Zone, even if the episode does overstay its welcome."
The Gamers Temple writes: "As The Penal Zone opens, our heroes Sam and Max are trapped in a cage on the bridge of a starship bombarding their city. At the ship's control is the gorilla-like alien General Skunkape (pronounced Skun-ka-pay), who cackles with glee as each salvo is released, while his bride Stinky sits nearby trying to alleviate her boredom with an impromptu manicure. Can Max use his psychic powers to save the day? Wait a minute ... what?"
