Late last week Telltale Games (Sam & Max, Tales of Monkey Island) confirmed that not only is the development team working on episodic game adaptations of comic books ‘Fables’ and ‘The Walking Dead,’ while continuing work on games based on ‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘Back to the Future,’ but the studio also revealed that it would be bringing a classic Sierra-borne (Activision-owned) franchise back to life: King’s Quest.
Sam and Max Season 3, The Devil’s Playhouse Episode 5 – The City That Dares Not Sleep is as long as titles get. It’s so long in fact, that its bordering ridiculous! But then again ‘ridiculous’ has never been above Sam and Max, so that sort of behavior is not exactly discouraged around here. Typing long titles over and over is discouraged (for my own sanity), so lets just call this game The City That Dares Not Sleep.

So, earlier this week, Telltale Games teased the announcement of a new upcoming game featuring four very different and distinctive characters from four very different and distinctive franchises.
The characters were Max (from Sam & Max), The Heavy (from Team Fortress 2), Tycho (from Penny Arcade) and Strong Bad (from Homestar Runner).
Finally, Telltale has unveiled the mystery game and it’s none other than… Poker Night at the Inventory.
Boo, hiss!
Hot dang, we’ve got another major European PlayStation Store update on our hands!
Two massive demos for RUSE and Vanquish? Downloadable content for Bioshock 2, Split/Second and Kane & Lynch 2? Another episode of Sam and Max: The Devil’s Playhouse? Valkyria Chronicles II for PSP? Alien Breed: Impact?
Could this update have been any better?
Well, what if I told you there were also some great price offers on a bunch of cool games, as well as the usual assortment of Rock Band and Guitar Hero DLC, plus themes, Uncharted 2 Avatars and interesting videos?
Ladies and gentleman, the update just got better.
Head on down below to see the full list of content soon to become available on the European PlayStation Store:
Whoa whoa whoa! Stop the presses! Or, stop The Internet, at least!
A debut trailer has just been released by episodic game masters Telltale Games to tease their next title… which is currently untitled… and may or may not feature four characters from four disparate franchises, including Tycho from Penny Arcade, Strong Bad from Homestar Runner, Max from Sam & Max and (most peculiarly) The Heavy from Team Fortress 2.
We’ll find out more on September 2nd…
Watch the teaser trailer for the Untitled Telltale game below:
What free content and exclusive special price offers can European PlayStation Plus subscribers expect over the next two months?
If the following list is anything to go by, tons of ‘stuff’ is coming down the pipe for those of you who’ve decided to sign up to Sony’s PlayStation Network service, including the entire season of Sam and Max: Devil’s Playground, as well as Zen Pinball and Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee.
Have a look through the full list of content available to PlayStation Plus subscribers during the months of August and September to see if anything gets your attention:
‘Beyond the Alley of the Dolls’ is the fourth episode in the current season of Sam and Max games, and it should be made clear from the start that in order to get the most enjoyment out of this episode, you really should play the first three games. The story follows on, and some scenes reference the previous episodes. Yet if you wanted to take the plunge and jump into episode 4, then you won’t be hindered too much.
In the penultimate episode of the Devil’s Playhouse, our daring duo faces their worst nightmare: an army of zombie cloned Sams, all clad in nothing but shiny underwear! Who is behind this dastardly act? Who is out to get Sam and Max? Will they succeed and make it to the next episode? Well, yes, obviously, there are five episodes planned and they would be rather silly if the main stars did not make it into the last episode!

Head on down below to see the full list of content set to hit the European PlayStation Store in just a few hours:
This week’s US PlayStation Store Update is filled with the joys of great new content to tool around with, as Sam And Max Episode 4: Beyond The Alley Of The Dolls, Gravity Crash Portable (for PSP), a bunch of Marvel-themed LittleBigPlanet costumes and a whole host of price updates for games and add-ons make an appearance.
You shouldn’t forget about the demo for Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, either, available exclusively to PlayStation Plus subscribers for a week.
Have a look through the full list of new content now available on the US PlayStation Store below:
Just one more day until Episode 4 of Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse is available and Telltale Games has released a new trailer to celebrate.
Titled ‘Beyond the Alley of the Dolls,’ Episode 4 promises to keep you entertained as Sam and Max are forced to take cover in a “barricaded ramshackle diner” from an “onslaught of oversized canine clones akin to a zombie apocalypse.”
Telltale Games has announced that Episode 4 of Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse will be available this coming Tuesday, the 20th of July, and that it features clones!
Titled ‘Beyond the Alley of the Dolls,’ Episode 4 is the last episode before the season finale and sees the “forces that have been pulling the Freelance Police’s strings begin revealing themselves.” It also promises to be a “tale that will change the way you look at Sam & Max forever!”
Telltale Games has done wonders for both reviving adventure games (they never died, they never will die!) and episodic games. Sam and Max has to be their best series as they are now in their third season, and picking up momentum in every game. Looking at the content of this game makes you wonder how they can trump it with more weird and wacky ideas. At some point they have to run out, right?
