I chanced upon this really cute and hilarious adventure game and after playing the free demo, I just want to have more. What so special about this game is that it is divided into 6 (affordable) episodes that are released monthly from Dec 2006. You can buy each episode at US$8.65 each or get the whole package at US$34.95. Each episode is estimated to have a 4 hours play time. For short attention span folks like me, Sam & Max is just perfect.
The game is full of hilarious dialogs and puzzle solving. I couldn’t stop laughing when Sam and Max took turn to threaten a rat playing the good and bad guys. For those who are new to adventure games, basically you solve puzzles by interacting with the environment. Very user-friendly and very entertaining. This game has received favourable rating by numerous sources. Do download the demo and see for yourself.
PS. I just did a purchase via the Internet. It was a breeze!
PPS. Just received an email from the developers and it said: We love you. Why? You bought some stuff! Not that we wouldn’t love you just as much if you hadn’t bought 6 whole things from our store. But now you’re our favorite. Don’t tell the others.

They are so cute, the rabbit especially. Sam and Max actually had an earlier adventure game named “Sam and Max Hit the Road”. I never got down to playing it although there were good reviews on it at that time.
Oh, it must be “Sam and Max Hit the Road” that our friend Tong Kiat was talking about. He has just downloaded the demo after I have talked him into trying the demo before actually buying the game … hahaha. He wanted to buy the game straight the way.
