Sam and Max Coming to XBLA

Telltale Continues Expansion to Xbox Live® Arcade with Acclaimed Sam & Max Game Series

Xbox LIVE® joins PC and Wii as new channel for “gaming’s first sitcom”

SAN RAFAEL, CA, February 26, 2009 – The dog and rabbity-thing stars of Telltale’s popular episodic games are one step closer to world domination today with the announcement that the first two “seasons” of Sam & Max will be appearing on Xbox LIVE Arcade. This is the award-winning comedy duo’s first appearance on the Xbox 360, as well as on a connected console download service. Worldwide PC and Wii retail releases of the second season are also upcoming.

These approaching releases will sport catchy new monikers to more closely tie the season titles with their respective story arcs. Season One, which takes the Freelance Police from the New York City streets to Washington D.C. and all the way to the moon on the trail of a hypnotic nemesis, will be dubbed Sam & Max Save the World for all new releases moving forward. Season Two, which involves a baffling series of time paradoxes at the hands of unconventional aliens, has been renamed Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space. The Xbox LIVE Arcade releases will carry these new titles, as will Atari’s 2009 retail versions of the second season.

“With Sam & Max coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade and the approaching retail launch, we’re reaching a larger audience than we ever have before,” says Telltale CEO Dan Connors. “These new releases give us an opportunity to better communicate the imaginative stories that make the Sam & Max games so special, and to strengthen the unique identity of each season.”

Both Sam & Max seasons will be released on Xbox LIVE Arcade as full-season bundles, providing instant gratification to players who have been eagerly waiting for the Freelance Police to appear on Microsoft’s console. The second Sam & Max season — which recently received Best Adventure Game accolades from IGN and PC Gamer and took home five Aggie Awards, including Best Comedy Writing, Best Gameplay, and Game of the Year from Adventure Gamers — is also scheduled to hit retail for PC and Wii in the coming months.

Today’s news follows Telltale’s recent announcement that the highly anticipated new series, Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures, is leading the company’s expansion to Xbox LIVE Arcade.

Lost Planet 2 Confirmed

Capcom announced today Lost Planet 2 by releasing the first trailer of the game, made almost entirely from real in-game footage. Along with this trailer, there is a video intro by “Lost Planet 2” producer, Jun Takeuchi and a Q&A with the game’s director Kenji Oguro.

The sequel to the blockbuster “Lost Planet: Extreme Condition,” which debuted on Xbox 360 two years ago, takes place on the planet E.D.N. III 10 years after the conclusion of the original title. During that time a massive climate change has taken place which has melted the snow and created brand-new environments, including a new lush jungle setting which gamers will get their first glimpse of in the new trailer. The gameplay of “Lost Planet 2” has evolved in a new unique experience that allows players to control various groups of Snow Pirates giving them a variety of different perspectives throughout the journey. The developers also felt it was important to listen to the fans and Capcom is proud to announce that a new type of co-op mode will be implemented into the game.
