Sam & Max: Season One - Culture Shock

PC News | Sam & Max Episode 1: Culture Shock

If you don't already know, Sam & Max are stars of stage and screen - well, comic books and cartoons, actually - but most importantly, one of the most beloved adventure games of all time: 1993's Sam & Max Hit the Road.

PC News | Sam & Max Episode 1: Culture Shock

Developer Telltale Games has just released a handful of renders of the upcoming Sam & Max, the episodic adventure that will finally give fans a sequel to 1993's Sam & Max Hit the Road.

Fans of the Sam & Max comics will instantly recognize the freelance-police duo's dingy office and horrible neighborhood, but the renders also ...
