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.

Mabinogi Generation 3′s first season has begun

A new season of Mabinogi has begun, and you know what that means – new items, new quests, new additions and new events. Generation 3 Season 1 (G3S1) kicked off August 21, 2008, and brought with it a slew of new material to enhance Nexon’s free-to-play massive multiplayer online (MMO) game. Two new Masters events, G3 Mainstream Masters and Battle Masters were also announced.

The changes to Mabinogi make the game more appealing with both cosmetic and gameplay additions. Eight new premium character eye and mouth choices were added, more skill shortcut keys were added and new pets are available for purchase in the premium shop. The pet system and pet’s AI have been updated, battle skills no longer have level caps and characters can get married. Of course there are also new story quests, for those who wish to pay for service…
