Sam and Max Save The World

Mr E

Not sure how this'll be without a mouse (or wiimote!), but since I only played episode 1 (and loved the original Lucasarts game on the PC), I'll give it a go. There are 6 episodes, and they take 2-3 hours each, so its good value (and alot of laughs) for €20.

The first season of Telltale's episodic adventure series Sam & Max is to be released via Xbox Live next week.

Sam & Max Save the World will cost 1600 Microsoft Points (GBP 13.60 / EUR 19.20). For that you'll get the six episodes first published on PC in 2006 and 2007, complete with improved gameplay and HD visuals.

I'll definitely be buying it. Good value that. And I loved the original.

YES! ... I've been waiting for this for ages. Can't wait to download it next week - I've tried out the Wallace & Grommit demo released a couple of weeks ago (from the same company) and it works really well.

Time to stock up on some MS Points, methinks.... Especially with Monkey Island coming out, too ...

August is going to be hell on the wallet.... Another Summer of Arcade on the Marketplace. Shadow Complex, 'Splosion Man and Monkey Island Special Edition are all must-buys for me, and TMNT Turtles in Time and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will be popular to others....

Especially Shadow Complex though.... Presentation and Trailer.

Cellfactor. Don't know it.

Rtype Dimensions. Hard as nails. Rtype 1 and 2 in one game. Nice updated graphics. If you like R-Type, go for it (try the demo).

Loderunner. Never liked the original, but the update looks good. Didn't buy it though. Lots of levels, so good value.

Assault Heroes. Preferred it to AH2. Fun game, and a good co-op game. try the demo - the full game is more of the same.

1942:Joint Strike. Pretty average actually. I bought it, but never played it after the week I got it. Pretty short too.

Galaga Legions. Pretty wave shooter that is galaga in name only. Nothing like the original. Didn't like it based on the demo.

Thanks.

Yeah, I tried all the demos. I liked Rtype but too hard and infinite lives is cheesy I think. Liked 1942 but could see it getting boring quickly if its more of the same. Same with Galaga. Think I'll go for Loderunner and AH for sure. Cellfactor is only out a couple of weeks. Seems like a UT clone with psi powers. Thought the demo was decent but with games like UT3,Halo3 out, I'm not sure I see the point of it. The psi powers sort of sucked too. Already got Outrun,Ikaruga (very hard),Scramble and a few others. Weirdly I thought Castelvania which got great reviews sucked. Same with Braid. Just didn't appeal.
