Can Sam & Max's point-and-click comeback continue on a high with the start of season three?
Rebecca Quintana of Vivid Gamer writes, "The world of video games is full of them, with Gears of War and Army of Two usually topping most game-related bromance lists. In celebration of Valentine’s Day, I’ve decided to create my own list–my personal favorite video game bromances. I also decided to avoid many of the “traditional” bromances on this list and go with some newer and less conventional ones you may not have thought about."
PopMatters: The story begins at the end, where suddenly Sam and Max must save the world from the evil alien gorilla General Skun-ka’pe by using Max’s newfound psychic abilities and a series of legendary psychic toys to send Skun-ka’pe back to the Penal Zone. Then we jump back in time to the beginning, starting a race against time and ape to find the toys first.

Maybe “husky” is a good way to put it, or “stout”. What I was really getting at is that I like the characters, the adventure gameplay, and the style of humor that can be found in the existing Sam & Max series of games. I might even own some paraphernalia, which makes me the target audience and then some for the series’ debut on the iPad".
Such a damn good game.
