Sam & Max Episodes named

By Robert Purchese Published 17 January, 2007

Three more detected.

The names of the next three Sam & Max crime capers have emerged on the Telltale Games website.

Episode 3 - "The Mole, the Mob, and the Meatball" - will be available across North America, via GameTap, on 25th January; everyone else will have to wait until 8th February, when the game becomes available from the Telltale store.

The third game challenges the daring duo to go undercover at the Ted. E Bear Mafia-Free Playland and Casino, in search of a missing police informant. To find the mole, dog and rabbit will have to pose as members of the Toy Mafia, presumably covering themselves in meatballs along the way.

Episode 4, "Abe Lincoln Must Die", and episode 5, "Reality 2.0", will follow later this year. The climax of the six-part series is yet to be named, but we're promised an "out of this world" finale from a truly insidious and challenging foe.

Each instalment will cost you just GBP 4.55, EUR 6.93, or you can purchase the entire set for 18 quid, or 27 Euro-bob.

Also, there's the latest images to eyeball, or you catch up with our thoughts on the first and second episodes.

    No you can't, you have to pay tax as well. I wasn't sure whether it was a US sales tax or UK VAT though. Technically any website selling anything digital to European customers has to charge them tax.

    Fair enough. It's on their website for $34.95, or $8.95 for a single episode.

    Mac versions please! Don't make me install Bootcamp!

    I've enjoyed the first two episodes and looking forward to the rest, but they could really do with improving their installation system.

    First you download the "installer" for the particular episode which actually downloads... you guessed it, an installer.
    Since they've already got web-based authentication for each episode, why not have a single interface that shows each available episode and allows for them to be run straight from there? (Steam-esque).

    The installer (first one) looks extremely amateur, as well. But it all works and is worth the few hours of entertainment that the crazy duo provide.

    This is how you do episode content. Take note Valve.

    Sounds wonderfully well thought out by Telltale. Going to wait for the entire package myself tho.

  • Lim-Dul #9 5 years ago

    I already have the entire package - you don't have to wait. When you pay for the whole package, then you receive the individual episodes when they're available. And if you want all the episodes on a DVD later, then you just have to pay the difference in shipping cost etc.

    Telltale seem to be the only ones getting episodic content right. Valve failed, miserably. Sin Episodes flopped (and rightly so, it being a worthless game). Then again, adventure games are one of the genres that actually has the potential to work great as episodes :)

  • smelly #11 5 years ago

    Episode 3 out next week!! YAY!

    (unless you live in europe.. har har! )
