I just finished playing <a href="http://www.telltalegames.com/samandmax/icestationsanta/" target="_blank">season 2, episode 1</a> of Sam and Max and must say it's as good, if not better than season 1 was. The first season had me chuckling, but this time around there were a few zingers that really hit their mark. I also enjoyed the new hint system, after a while of wandering in circles once it gave a subtle hint that pointed me in the right direction. Anyone else been playing the new Sam and Max series?

    No but I'll look into in sooner or later, also I still want my Full Throttle 2 and Dungeon Keeper 3 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    Doubt we'll ever see Full Throttle 2 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" /> With Lucasarts busy milking certain unmentioned franchises and Tim Schafer (obviously) not working for them any longer.

    I just bought season 1 off steam and I'm only on the second episode. It's been pretty fun so far although I don't know if I'll have enough of an attention span for all of them.

    I haven't played either of the titles unfortunately, although I notice a correlation between the Sam and Max episode series and the Half Life 2 episodic series.

    I recently purchased and played HL2:EP1 and HL2:EP2 back to back and I found EP2 to be much improved over EP1! I felt the pacing to be expertly refined into a non-stop ride with the appropriate highs and lows, tensions and moments of reflection. Thinking back and comparing EP1 to EP2 I can see the refinements that Valve made to the 'feel' and the flow of the game, I suspect a similar phenomenon has taken place with Sam and Max. The episodic content allowing the developers to refine their material incrementally, rather then deliver it all unrefined in one big go.

    I used to watch the TV series and loved it.

    Do the games follow the same kind of humour writing as the TV show?

    Yes very similar. They use a couple of lines from the original game too as a throw back. After getting through the second episode I'm starting to like it more. At first I thought the joke were a bit, well, not funny. Now that I've gotten to know/remember the characters a bit the humor is really coming through for me.
