Telltale, creators of the Sam & Max episodic adventure series, announced a collector’s DVD set for Sam & Max Season Two available today, packed with tons of extras. Telltale’s announcement focuses on the game’s collector’s edition getting the same treatment that a TV series boxset would.
The Season Two Collector’s DVD comes with all five PC games from the series, plus “hours” of region-free video with special features, developer commentary, a Christmas video short feature, promo trailers, concept art, desktop wallpapers and a MP3 soundtrack sampler.
Additionally, if you already bought the Sam & Max Season Two downloadable set, Telltalle will give you the Collector’s DVD for shipping and handling costs only. It’s $US 34.95 for the rest of ya, and should ship in August, the company says.
Full announcement follows the jump.
Our money was indeed on a full release of the episodic Sam And Max season one for the Wii, and now all we have to do is sit back and wait for our winnings to pour in, as Telltale tells GameSpot official tales of just such a release. Both European and North American Wii consoles will be graced with the first season of the dog and bunny-thing show this fall, with Dreamcatcher and The Adventure Company handing U.S. publishing and JoWood handling Europe’s version, which comes complete with German and French voiceovers plus Italian and Spanish subtitles. I almost want to import the Euro version, just to hear Max threatening people in the language of romance, or perhaps French.

This is a lesson the manic proprietor of Bosco’s Inconvenience store learns in the latest episode of Telltale Games’ episodic adventure series Sam and Max, Chariots of the Dogs. Due out March 13th on the GameTap service and a day later via Telltale’s website, the puppy and rabbit-thing duo will be tasked with finding their friend, though with the prices he charges they’d probably be better off ransacking his store and calling it a day.

Telltale games is now taking preorders for the reprint edition of Sam and Max Surfin’ the Highway, the 1995 paperback collection of Steve Purcell’s comics that – alongside the 1993 LucasArts adventure – launched a failed cartoon and eventually led to the episodic adventures we know and love today. The book contains all of the original material plus 25 pages of extra content, including promotional material for the upcoming DVD release of the animated series! The book comes in two flavors: a $US 19.99 paperback shipping at the end of this month and a $US 49.99 limited-edition hardback signed and dated by Steve Purcell due out in the Spring. Order before the 29th of this month and you’ll get a code good for a free copy of Sam & Max: Ice Station Santa, the first episode of Season 2 of Telltale’s adventure series. Having an extremely dog-eared copy of the original in a place of honor on my bookshelf, I cannot recommend Surfin’ the Highway enough. Go buy now.

newVideoPlayer("sammax20_gawker.flv", 463, 287,""); If you aren’t sold on Telltale Games episodic adventures of Steve Purcell’s Sam and Max now that they’re nearly three episodes into Season Two, I don’t know what to say to you other than shirtless raver vampire with pierced nipples. This is the trailer for episode 3 of Season 2, Night of the Raving Dead, and as always the team at Telltale have managed to deliver a trailer almost as entertaining as playing the game itself. The old-timey black and white with German-language title boards grabs you, and Max shaking his little rabbit-thing ass towards the end reels you in. Look for Night of the Raving Dead for free on GameTap come February 12th, or for not-free at Telltale’s website a day later. I leave you with this thought – would a vampire’s healing factor reject piercings? More »
