Situation: Comedy review round-up
Posted by emily January 16, 2007
Okay, so I've been a little slack in getting a review round-up for Sam & Max episode 2, but the good news is there's now a HUGE list of reviews for you. (As always, these may contain spoilers, so if you haven't played Situation: Comedy, read at your own risk!)

English Foreign Language I'm sorry if I missed your review. (If I did, send me the link and I'll add it!)

Hi,

the two scores in the german "Adventure Treff" review are for a single episode (7.5/10) and the whole season (9/10) - some prediction of the future included.
(they rate price / value ratio)

I was a little sceptical before these games came out, and I've been proven completely wrong. I think that so far this is just as good (possibly better) than Hit The Road. TellTale beats LucasArts!

You are right that our episode scores are a price-performance ratio, but there is no prediction involved. The first rating (7.5) is a score for episode 2 in relation to the single episode price ($8.95 plus taxes) and the second rating (9.0) is in relation to the episode price when you buy the whole season ($34.95 / 6). We will give a final game quality score for the whole season when episode 6 is out. :)

By the way, when will the next machinima short be out? It's been available to GameTap users since the 11th.

> By the way, when will the next machinima short be out? It's been available to GameTap users since the 11th.

Soon. We got a little behind because we didn't want to release #4 (which has an episode 2 spoiler) before most of our community had the chance to actually PLAY episode 2.

Archive is coming later this week, and then we'll put up machinima #5.

Also thanks for the corrections/links guys. I'm going to do another review round-up shortly with some of these in them.

For those precious few who can understand greek or the even fewer who can actually comprehend my way of writing, there is another review of Situation: Comedy over at Adventure Advocate.

Now if you'll excuse me, I think I will return to the warm womb of manufactured celebrity.

Not a review of episode 2, but Sam & Max: Culture Shock made it to the Eurogamer Readers' Top 50 Games of 2006, at place 44.

I write for gamecola.net and should let you know a 7.8 from us is probably close to a 9 anywhere else, we have a strict five-is-average scoring policy.
