Sam & Max's second season - now in stores 09 Mar, 2010 / Comments: 8

By Jason


Today is the shipping date for Atari's slightly belated retail release of Sam & Max Behind Beyond Time and Space for the PC and Wii. Head on over to the product's official page for a 20% off deal - both versions retail for a reasonable $19.99, by the way. So, awesome! And I wonder what the exclusive bonus content is?

Incidentally, today is the first day of GDC, and while there are still a number of upcoming conventions for epic reveals to be spaced out across, I would expect a pretty big announcement or two to be coming our way this week. The only variable when it comes to the LeChuck's Revenge special edition is the "when?" and Telltale still has to launch their The Devil's Playhouse pre-orders and maybe announce the mysterious new series they've been tantalizing about for a year now.

And there's plenty of other possible announcements for both companies to make. Handsome Halibut? More back catalogue re-releases? Those crazy Telltale iPhone rumors? Be sure to keep up with us throughout the week (with your malware software running, ideally) as we keep you on top of all the madness.

    Joystiq just had a news post about GDC and what we'll be expecting from it this week, including some LucasArts announcemtS.

    One of the tags in the article is "Monkey-Island"

    Just a matter of days then, or hours?

    Interesting -- they say LucasArts announcementS!

    Hopefully we'll know in a course of hours.

    More remakes are such sad news. :(

    Because more people will try the games?

    Come on, the classic is just one click away. Really. Really really! It's completely baseless to not want an updated version of a classic when the original is actually embedded in the game. Anyone not happy with the new graphics can just switch back to the old ones.

    Because I don't want people to experience the amateur art the new LucasArts will come inevitably up with.

    It's the facist in me.

    Yet most people will call the original graphics dates. Which they technically are.

    I think the fact that the majority of people who played the remake really liked it is a good thing.

    Again, we're going to loop, but I think the SE background art was good - on Melee, at least. The art on Monkey was admittedly a little bland. The character models were not that good, but that hardly shoots down ALL the art.

    Holy crap, they're advertising on Cracked.

    Am I impressed? Yes I am.
