Gaming Sam and Max: Moai Better Blues

We drop in on Sam and Max once more to test the water and see if the episodically adventurous duo are still going strong, or if they've ended up on in the bargain bin. Season Two is well under way now and this time, it's all about thinking with portals...

 

Hurray for new Sam & Max content! I loved Sam & Max back in the day and I was so pleasantly surprised when they started making new Sam & Max games. I don't know about this episodic content business though, I liked Season One but I bought it as retail box set at a Best Buy after all the episodes came out. I think making the game a series to short chunks keeps it from getting stale though and allows it to focus on a broader scale of different escapades without the fuss of keeping them intermingled so in Sam & Max's case I believe it works. I'll probably end up picking all of Season Two all at the same time again, damn my cash-flow problems!

 

I tried the free release of episode 4 and got hooked on it, I still haven't beaten season one but I go play it from time to time.

 

I too bought the retail package of season one - now if only I can make the time to play it.
