Sam & Max S2E1 released

Demo available.

Telltale Games has released the first episode of Sam & Max: Season Two, Ice Station Santa, and of course there's a demo to go along with it.

You can buy it and grab the demo via Telltale's website.

As you may remember from Season One, episodes cost USD 8.95 a pop, or you can pay USD 34.95 for the full, in this case five-episode season.

According to Telltale's synopsis, Ice Station Santa sees Sam & Max (Freelance Police - do keep up) jetting off to the North Pole "to bring down a less-than-jolly foe".

"Can the Freelance Police make sense of this Christmas conundrum in time to save the world's children from a holiday tainted by tears, turmoil, and Torture-Me-Elmer? Find out in Ice Station Santa."

Our review should be up soonish. Presumably. We're so slack! Season One is available now as six individual episodes, one of which is now free, and you can buy a boxed version in the shops.
