Sam & Max are probably one of the videogame world's best known, least well-known stars, having secured cult status during the 1990s, before disappearing without a trace until re-emerging to the delight of so many gamers over a decade later.
With Telltale Games officially throwing its weight behind WiiWare today and with Sam & Max Season One confirmed for the Nintendo Wii, let Nintendic acquaint you with the odd pairing, and hopefully, along the way, convince you to watch out for them in future.
From Xfire: "Bunnies are often depicted in media and popular culture as small, fluffy, adorable little buck-toothed bundles of cuteness, so far as deifying a rabbit and incorporating it into Easter traditions, somehow associating the mammal with colourful eggs and the consumption of unhealthy quantities of chocolate effigies made in its image. However, not all lagomorphs are love and cuddles - as Australia would be happy to tell you - and in video games, more often than not rabbits will be psychopathic murderers.
Since the brief season in which the ritualistic worship of a paranormal rabbit is socially acceptable is upon us, let's take a look, in no particular order, at the best and baddest hares in video games who could send the Easter Bunny packing."
How is Fran from Final Fantasy XII missing? ;-) She is the most badass Rabbit ever been in a video game!
I would add a couple honorable mentions. Vibri from Vib Ribbon and Robbit from Jumping Flash.
Bucky O'Hare says hello even though he only had one game.
Jiminy Christmas Eve in a padlocked sweatbox, Jump Dash Roll has dug up Sam and Max's first episodic adventure and given it the Brutal Backlog treatment! Is it worth jumping back into the Desoto for? Here's the review.
On this week's episode of Second Opinion, HPP's I Coleman says that Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse is better than Grim Fandango. He says some other stuff, too, but that's all anybody's gonna remember.
