Sam & Max Ride Again

Posted by Zonk on from the this-time-for-real-maybe dept.

duck2ducks writes "Adventure game fans had a rough time last year when the eagerly-awaited Sam and Max sequel was canceled, revived, and canceled again. Fortunately, the rights have now been picked up by Telltale Games (currently at work adapting Jeff Smith's Bone graphic novels) - and since Telltale is made up of former LucasArts designers, the dog and hyperkinetic rabbity thing may have found the perfect place to call home."

    If they could arrange a crossover with some tentacles bent on world domination.

    "Ooooh!" "Does this mean we get to kick some puffy white mad scientist butt?"
    "Can't think of a reason not to,"

    And so help them if they cancel this one.
    There's only one thing that can happen.

    "Er.. should I confront, pummel, and subdue the suspected perpetrator, Sam?"
    "Sic 'em up, little buddy,"

    I'm tempted to get the first Bone episode, but twenty bucks for 4-6 hours of gameplay?

    I've spent more than twenty bucks on a night out at the theater before now, and that sure didn't come anywhere near 6 hours of entertainment - more like 40 minutes driving, 10 minutes looking for somewhere to park, 1 hour queuing, 1 hour of advertisements, 90 minutes of disappointing movie, and another hour listening to the people I was with complaining about what a crap evening it had been all the way home.

    Looked at that way, it suddenly doesn't sound quite such a bad deal, does it?
