Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space this Wednesday
Telltale’s Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space will launch on Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday. All five episodes of the series’ second season will be bundled together and sell for 1600 Microsoft Points (320 points each). Like Sam & Max Save the World, the XBLA version of Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space will include achievements, HD graphic support, localized subtitles for German, French, Italian and Spanish, and a custom control scheme adapted specifically for the Xbox 360. A second Sam & Max Xbox picture pack will release on Wednesday.
Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space pits the Freelance Police against a demon-possessed Santa Claus, gigantic robots, and an emo vampire amassing an army of rave-loving zombies. Mariachis will sing, dead goldfish will prophesize, and Hell just might freeze over, and when friends are caught in the crossfire, Sam & Max risk their very souls to set things right. With an overarching story told throughout five action-packed episodes, the second season of Sam & Max is brimming with puzzles, exotic environments and the humor fans have come to expect from Telltale.
