Sam & Max

Sam & Max, stars of comic books, animated cartoons and the classic LucasArts adventure game Sam & Max Hit the Road, return later this year in a series of episodic adventures for PC. And we've got an introductory trailer for you showing off this dog and rabbit crime-fighting team - click that movies tab up above to check it out.

Hit the Road, released way back in 1993, was one of the best point-and-click games we ever played. These new episodes will carry on the clue solving buddy-cop action using GameTap - the broadband entertainment network - to deliver each new release straight to your browser.

With little actually revealed of the episodes themselves, we'll have to wait to find out in which direction the series is heading. But with Steve Purcell, creator of Sam & Max and the comedy brain behind their on-screen adventures, being part of the development team we're hoping for good things from the duo's brand new outings.
