Gamertell Review: Sam & Max: The Devil’s Toy Box Episode 2 – The Tomb of Sammun-Mak
What do a toy box, an ancient mummy and a bunch of mole-people have in common? Why the second episode of Sam and Max, of course.
In this episode, you don’t control Sam or Max but, instead, their great grandfathers Sammak and Maximus. The game starts with the boys finding two skeletons that look like them and a few film reels. The reels show their grandfathers going through a series of events on a train and in a pyramid, all to find the Devils toy box. You spend the rest of the game traveling back and forth between the reels to get the whole story of why Sam and Max’s grandfathers are now skeletons.
Gamertell Review: Sam and Max season 3: The Penal Zone for PC
Oh no! A giant space ape is trying to take over the world, and Sam and Max are the only hope for humanity. Oh crud!
Telltale’sSam and Max: The Devil’s Playhouse is the third season for the dynamic duo. This season will be similar to Telltale’s Tales of Monkey Island where all five episode will be part of the same big story. Each episode will continue after the previous one, which is different then the stand alone episodes you are use to with the series, giving you a five episode long story.
In the first episode The Penal Zone, you are treated to a couple cut scenes (which is also unique to this season) that show a huge alien ape destroying airplanes and buildings from his space ship. Our hero’s are locked in a hamster looking cage and of course you need to get them out. Also, Max inexplicably has telekinetic powers, and Sam has a device that sends people to the “Penal Zone” which is not explained yet either. There is also a narrator that resembles a caricatured Rod Sterling from the Twilight Zone. He also gives you a tutorial on how to use Max’s new powers and how to play the rest of the game.

The final chapter in our epic adventure of pirating and voodoo curses, Rise of the Pirate God, has finally arrived.

Because you are a pirate, your choices are an afterlife of thievery, swordplay or treasure hunting.
