Review: Dragon Ball Z – Ultimate Tenkaichi (PS3)

It has been a long time coming, but Sam and Max: Beyond Time and Space is finally hitting Xbox Live Arcade for a cool 1600 Microsoft points.  That comes out to 320 points per episode, or using my slide rule for points to dollar conversion, $4.00 an episode.

Sam and Max: Beyond Time and Space includes 200 achievements, and all six episodes that were released for the Wii and PC a while back.  The adventure this time around takes Sam and Max around the world, to new locations and meeting new characters.

SAM & MAX BEYOND TIME AND SPACE HITS XBOX LIVE® ARCADE THIS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14

Gas up the Desoto and Grab Your Fedora … The Second Season of Everyone’s Favorite Freelance Police is coming to Xbox LIVE®

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. – October 12, 2009 – Xbox 360® owning fans of talking anthropomorphic dogs, hyperactive rabbity things and great gaming comedy rejoice! Telltale today announced that Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space will launch on Xbox Live® Arcade this Wednesday. All five critically-acclaimed episodes of the award-winning series’ second season will be bundled together and sell for 1600 Microsoft Points – a great deal for five games at only 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® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Additionally, a second Sam & Max Xbox picture pack will release on Wednesday.

Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space pits the Freelance Police against the surreal and supernatural, with the duo facing off 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 mind-bending puzzles, exotic environments and the unhinged humor fans have come to expect from Telltale.

And that’s not all! The Xbox LIVE debut of the second season provides Telltale fans with a fountainhead of inspiration for the studio’s annual Halloween contest which has just kicked off, offering the potential to win a gaming console of their choice and more fabulous prizes! Telltale fans are encouraged to submit creations inspired by any of our games. Previous notable entries include a custom Max hand puppet and a dog costume of Sam made entirely out of used underwear. Classy! For more submissions from years past, additional details and official rules for this year’s contest visit http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-509.

Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space is the follow up to Sam & Max Save the World, the first season of the series, which premiered on Xbox LIVE Arcade in June. All six episodes of that season are now available for purchase on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for Xbox 360, along with gamer pics and a profile theme.

More great Telltale episodes will join the Xbox LIVE Arcade line up in November with the release of additional Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures. Fright of the Bumblebees, the premiere episode of the series, is available now on Xbox LIVE Arcade.
