Sam & Max: Season One - Episodes 1-3

You Don't Need to have played Season One before you play the second, but it makes a little more sense to play Ice Station Santa knowing all the characters you'll meet Perhaps this 'buy two, get one free' offer on the first three episodes will seduce you into a compromising financial position, and entice you into the point-and-click world of the freelance police. It's funny, it's clever - and the episodic format breaks the package up into three evenings of excellent distraction.

As much value as this package offers, we'd probably recommend you play the free version of Sam & Max: Episode 4 - Abe Lincoln Must Die! (it's on the cover disc, so you've got no excuse), then buy the whole season if you like it. Besides, Episode 3 is also the most disappointing episode, so it'd be a shame to finish that and not have the rest of the episodes to remind you how fundamentally good the Sam & Max world can be.
