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.

We knew it'd get better, though, and with Episode 2: Situation: Comedy, it has.

In short, the series is really starting to get off the ...<br/> review 8 Jan 2007 http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/sam-max-episode-2-situation-comedy/videos/g-20061201152258515012/v-200701400000000000002092 The animal sleuths hit the streets again, this time to rescue hostages from an over-generous talk-show host. video 8 Jan 2007 http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/sam-max-episode-2-situation-comedy/screenshots/g-20061201152258515012 screenshot 8 Jan 2007 http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/sam-max-episode-2-situation-comedy/videos/g-20061201152258515012/v-200701400000000000002122 The animal sleuths hit the streets again, this time to rescue hostages from an over-generous talk-show host. video 13 Dec 2006 http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/sam-max-episode-2-situation-comedy/news/sam-maxs-sitcom/a-2006120116855614053/g-20061201152258515012 Episode 2 of the Sam & Max PC adventure game series, Situation: Comedy, will be available to download from developer Telltale Games' website on January 5th, so we've uncovered a batch of screenshots to show you what the dynamic duo are getting up to next.
