why am i so addicted to playing poker with a giant talking dog

Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space (Season 2) is basically everything that a sequel should strive for: keeping everything that worked well in its predecessor and expanding upon it.
This time there are lot more minigames and funny stories to enjoy than Season 1. The locations are more varied and have more personality. But, unfortunately, the budget they were working with was still as small as before, so there isn’t much change in terms of graphical quality.
Unlike S1, BTaS has 5 episodes instead of the 6 previously, but the quality of each episode has increased massively! The humor was great, the new characters are really likable and the puzzles are more varied and fun. Don’t pass this game

‘Sam & Max: Save the World’ is an adventure game developed by Telltale Games (Yes, that TTG) back in 2006. This was my introduction to the genre, after being ““intrigued”” by the character of Max in Poker Night at the Inventory. In the end, this became one of my favorite gaming experiences. I had hours upon hours of laughs (Note: The page only shows my playtime for ep1) and genuine interest in the plot, although i needed a walkthrough for basically every episode. If you never played an adventure game, this is a great place to start with, seeing that episode 4 has been free for some time now.

this game sucks

After 8 years of nothing but torture ( Raving Rabbids games ) for us Rayman fans, Ubisoft finally thinks that they should give us the game we wanted, but don't deserve: Rayman Origins, a fresh new take on the franchise and on the 2D Platformer genre itself. With gorgeous graphics, a beautiful visual style, an OUTSTANDING soundtrack, creative stages and a pinch of the classic humor we all know and love, this game is sure to be a wild ride for both long-time fans and newcomers to the series. If you STILL didn't bought this game after all these years, do yourself a favor and buy this right now. You won't regret it.
