Sam and Max

Sam, a anthropomorphic dog and Max, a hyperkinetic rabbity thing are the protagonists of the hit point and click adventure videogame series. It is developed by Telltale Games mostly for the PC, but the games can also be found for Wii, Xbox 360, Ipad, and Playstation 3. The duo the operate as the Freelance Police, trying to save the world almost every other episode from a harebrained scheme that a wacky villain thought up.

Although they are best known for their video games, this lovable pair also starred in a animated series, several comics, and another game (one not made by Telltale). The way the current series is set up is that every individual game is a episode, and five or six episodes make up a season. Each season has a theme, such as mind control or psychic toys. Even though the graphics can be shiny, and the plot is cool, the part where the franchise really shines is their trademark humor. The first season was pretty good, but the second and third season were hilariously funny as the developers tied together events that occurred in previous games. A kind of humor that you don't find nearly enough these days. Their "unique" adventures include; Rampaging as a giant monster around the city of New York, destroying the internet, and selling the U.S. government to Canada (Max became president first, of course). As you can tell, this makes for a very fun time.

 Now despite their cute and fluffy looks, this is not a little kids game. I can not recommend Sam and Max for younger players; There is minor profanity (very minor, most people wouldn't even consider it profanity), violence, and (very) small bits of more mature content. Anyone who has played the games know these parts are very few and very far between. I'm just saying this so you don't you don't give it to a preschooler. Thus, slightly older players will relish the challenging puzzles and goofy gags.
