If you're a thousand years old, you'll likely remember the original Sam & Max. The PC point 'n' click adventure came out in 1993, and instantly became one of the most loved games of all time.
Created as comic characters by illustrator Steve Purcell, Sam the sarcastic dog and Max the utterly insane rabbit are freelance police, fighting crime with guns, mallets and wise-cracking.
People cried for their return for 14 years, and finally in 2007 they re-emerged in a series of episodic adventures on the PC. Now the vigilante cops are in 3D, looking gorgeous in a cartoony world that matches the style of the comics.
The Wii does seem the natural home of pointing 'n' clicking, what with its having a pointer, with which you can click. But very few games have journeyed down the point 'n' click route on Wii.
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.
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.
Player 2 looks at some left of field movies that would make perfect video game translations in the right hands.
