Beyond Time and Space now available on PSN
Oct 21st
This news post is a couple of days late, but it’s still worth reporting that Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space (season two) is now available on Sony’s downloadable service, PSN.
I think it’s just available for the US at the moment; I’m not too sure (that’s we in the biz call journalism, folks). Grab the five episodes for $19.99 or bundle it with The Devil’s Playhouse for $29.99. Further details can be found on the PS Blog.
Thanks to Mojo for the tip.
Win a copy of The Devil’s Playhouse with AMO
Sep 12th
The fine folks over at Alternative Magazine Online have teamed with the equally fine folks at Lace Mamba Global (although as an aside, they really need to learn the proper use of a hashtag) to offer up three copies of The Devil’s Playhouse retail edition.
The competition question is an easy one, so if you’re a resident of the UK then get on over to AMO and submit your entry. It’s a great site too, so be sure to check out what else they have on offer while you’re there*.
* I haven’t been paid to say this, but my pockets are always open for you, AMO.

Season two coming to the iPad
Aug 16th
The details are a bit scarce at the moment, but according to a report from Gamespot’s GDC Europe coverage, Telltale Games are bringing season two (Beyond Time and Space) to Apple’s iPad platform, localised for different regions of the world. Telltale claim the iPad is the fastest-growing gaming device on the market. It’s worth noting that only the first episode of season three was released on the tablet device, though.
Of course, those looking for dog and rabbit fun without having to remortgage their house can find it at Telltale’s site for $29.99 on the PC. Just saying.

Some of these questions were posed by you, the faithful readers, so be sure to read on to hear what this multi-talented – theatre, voice over and comics are all in a days work – man has to say.
