Brief Synopsis: The Devil's Playhouse is the third season of the Sam & Max series. It is comprised of five episodes. Sam & Max games are point and click adventures which are set in a fictional version of New York City. The games are full of slap stick comedy, word plays, and in jokes. They're simple to play, yet have a nice level of challenge to them in that the solutions to the puzzles often require doing things in...

Sam and Max..... oh my..... this is quite a story with a lot of cheeky jokes. If you can bear with the puzzles that range from easy to "OMG! I've been here for hours! How do you get through the door covered in cheese?!" then it could be quite an expirience. Make no mistake, I DO NOT recommend this game to everyone. It is a very accuired taste for a point and click puzzle game. The only pro's in my opinion being the...

The third season of Sam & Max represents a shift in tone and gameplay. The changes are obvious from the very beginning - a narrator to set the scene, new control scheme (same as Tales of Monkey Island; clearly favouring consoles), a new villain, an opening tutorial of sorts (which is so entertaining and interactive that it puts most other tutorials to shame), psychic powers for Max and a grainier, darker graphical...

(Review counted as the Complete Sam and Max Series 1,2 and 3) Really entertaining and funny point and click adventure game. Though I admit I am a bit dumb when it came to puzzles in this game...often ended up looking up guides >w> SHHHHH! In all honesty the puzzles (basicly everything you do in the game) are all well thought out so there isn't any super unrealistic answer to a problem that hasn't been hinted...

Sam & Max 301: The Penal Zone (2010) There aren't enough words in the world to explain the madness of Sam & Max. These characters are classic by today's standard. Sam the dog and Max the rabbit - "master" detectives who leave more chaos in their wake then whats good for people. I played one of the older games back in the day, cannot remember the name anymore and after playing this first episode I was glad to see its...

Classic Lucasarts with a Telltale twist. Cast your mind back to the golden age of point and click adventures, the 1990s, when we had such wonders as insult sword fighting, bunnies in minefields, and psychotic rabbity things teaming up with dogs to save the world. That was where Sam & Max started and, just like those case files Max ate, that was where they stayed, forgotten, until along came a small games company...

Out of all three seasons of Sam & Max, this is easily the best. If you come off playing the first two season (which are great don't get me wrong) you might feel overwhelmed at first, because there's a lot of new stuff coming at you at once. There's Max's powers, new and old faces. Lots of locales (instead of just about everything happening on their own street). The story is better with this one. It's weird and...

I'll give this game a soft recommend. Sam and Max contains a lot of humor, most of it pretty dry, but it works well for the game. The actual stories are fun and it isn't 100% straightforward so you might have some difficulty finding the answer. Note: in the game, you can actually change the amount of hints that Sam and Max give you as you play. The controls are pretty bad. This is not a deal breaker because the game...

Moving into Sam & Max's third (and final) reboot season from Telltale, we see some nice additional polish at first, with a redesigned menu, etc., but frustratingly, the controls are now very focused on the console release, particularly with movement being with an analogue stick. There's an attempt to simulate that for mouse controls, which is workable, but far from ideal. That complaint aside, this episode maintains...
