cool stuff

since I already have them on gametap which is also an online service I'll wait to get the whole boxed set this fall

 

[Lucid]

Are these even any good?
Haven't played a single one save for the original quite a few years ago.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

about damn time

 

[Rapstah]

Don't the S&M developers have their own Steam-like thing? How's this positive for them? :|

 

[hool10]

No, I don't want Sam and Max on Steam. :bonce:

its on gametap which isn't theirs.

All of the episodes are quite good actually. All the reviews I've seen for the episodes were in the 70 - 90 range which is quite good.

Each episode is probably about 3-4 hours so I'd say about 20 hours for all of them.

 

[Bulletbrain]

I played them all and its more like 15 hours i'll say. But its a blast to play through them.

Highs - Funny as hell, Great voice work, stylistic graphics, accessible puzzles, hot rump...

Low - Some repetition in locations and characters, accessible puzzles.

I'll give them an 8.4 overall. Very good stuff.

That's great! Was thinking of getting season 1 later this ?august when they all are supposed to come out on disk but I might buy em now on steam.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Great games, and worth a buy! I wasn't a fan of point and click, but these are really well done.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

I'll definitely get this!

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Brilliant news! Even though I already own them
More exposure for these great games, the earlier episodes tend to be a tad repetative but by episode 4 they were able to implement the suggestions and feedback they got from the public and it shows, there's huge difference. All the episodes are still good though.

 

[Evo]

Wow!

PC Gamer totally crushed most of these in their reviews, not too sure whether i'll bother getting them though =/

I love witty games with stylistic graphics and just overall fun throughout--if you like any of that, you'll like this.

Can't get over the A-quality voice acting and writing.

"Hey superball, can you smell these two handkerchiefs and tell me which one smells more like choloform?"

One of the many many examples.

Awesome!

I bought these through gametap, the game play isn't all complicated but the dialog etc is pretty funny. Cheap at the price tbh.

 

[V-Man339]

I've read a few of the Sam & Max comics, and I've played and beaten Hit the Road all the way through, so I'm a miledly big fan. I'm pretty phsyced about the whole new episode sort of thing but I've honsetley got better places to spend my money.

 

[Shinobi]

yeahm, honestly it's a much better deal through gametap..


qaulity game though..

I hope they redo day of the tentacle next

 

[Gray Fox]

Buy Trackmania: United. TM:Sunrise is one of the best games ever, I played it so much. And United is it's successor. The editor ensures the game has almost infinite game play and there are so many great custom maps to download.

 

[V-Man339]

Trackmania: United has nothing to do with this thread we're talking about Sam & Max here.

...but I've honsetley got better places to spend my money.

I believe he was giving you a recommendation, no need to be a dick.

 

[V-Man339]

No offense meant

I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just saying I'm currentley saving up my money for other things.
Sorry if I offended anybody...

Awesome 'Hit the road' was my childhood game so I'll defiantly check these out.
