Beyond Time and Place is the recent offering from the prolific TellTale games. It comprises of five episodes, each giving us a different and often ridiculous case for our detective duo to sort out.

"Two classic Sam & Max games coming to PlayStation on September 29! Sam is a six-foot canine detective with a love of justice. Max is a hyperkinetic rabbity-thing with a taste for mayhem. Together, they’re the Freelance Police—an irreverent comedy duo whose esoteric crime-fighting style has been entertaining comic book and video game fans for more than thirty years.
In Sam & Max Save the World (aka Season One), a mind-control scheme involving washed-up child stars spirals to encompass the media, the mafia, the United States government, and the internet, building up to an out-of-this-world finale. In Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space (aka Season Two), Sam & Max are back on the crime beat in a showdown with Santa Claus, a race to subdue a giant volcano, and a face-off with a Eurotrash vampire... and then things get really weird.

Skunkape Games has done an incredible job of bringing this classic collection of Sam & Max adventures bang up to date and they’ve never looked or sounded better.
