Sam and Max hit the shelves
Next to Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max Hit the Road is my favourite Comedy Adventure game ever ("I feel tragically empty"). Like thousands of fans the world over, I mourned the cancellation of the LucasArts sequel - Star Wars games being more important than Adventure gaming, apparently!). I then celebrated the resurrection of the series in episodic format, thanks to TellTale Games.
Still though, I waited...Apart from playing the demos, I couldn't join in the fun just yet - I didn't have the Internet connection to download Episodes 1-6. But now, finally, they're releasing the entire first series in boxed format. Come August I'll be getting me some furry, freelance police fun!

Sam and Max return to retail

The 1993 LucasArts PC game Sam & Max Hit the Road was one of the traditional point-and-click adventure genre's last hurrahs. While the canine-and-lagamorph freelance police duo have returned in an episodic series of downloadable adventures from Telltale Games, they haven't set fuzzy foot in a retail game store for more than a decade.
That's set to change, because Telltale Games today announced agreements with publishers The Adventure Company and The JoWood Group that will see the first "season" of Sam & Max games released in stores worldwide this August.
The first four installments in the six-episode debut season have already been released online through subscription-based service GameTap as well as the Telltale Games Web site. The fifth episode, Reality 2.0, is expected to be released next month. Telltale currently sells episodes individually for $8.95, or as part of a season set for $34.95.
