Successful franchises spawn tie-in books dealing with the further adventures of Lara Croft or generic videogame action heroes, but often a respected author&#8217;s words can find themselves directly or indirectly rendered in gaming. Take Cormac McCarthy&#8217;s The Road for example, a post-apocalyptic journey through a near-future American wasteland that&#8217;s become required ...</p> feature Jun 18, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/sam-max-episode-1-culture-shock/news/sam-max-sleuthing-on-steam/a-20070618174924289009/g-20060517183534768021 Telltale's entire Sam & Max: Season 1 episodic adventure is now available via Steam.

Computer gamers needn't worry about console launches, system shortages or a dearth of quality titles. They customize their own systems, they upgrade whenever they want or need to, and they get to play practically every game in some form. Usually with the best possible graphics. Last-gen, current-gen, next-gen... the PC is always in the cutting-edge generation. Although this technological freedom translates into a variety and depth of games limited only by ...<br/> feature Dec 5, 2006 http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/sam-max-episode-1-culture-shock/review/sam-max-episode-1-culture-shock/a-200610241077829011/g-20060517183534768021 It took 13 years, a high-profile cancellation and a corporate schism that ended with the formation of developer Telltale Games, but bizarre crimefighting team Sam & Max have finally returned to computer screens. In Sam & Max Episode 1: Culture Shock, the dog-and-rabbit detective duo hit the pavement in their festering New York neighborhood, this time to shut down an incredibly chintzy world-domination plot.
