New Vista-friendly Sam & Max Game Released

Telltale announces that the third installment of their episodic Sam & Max game series is now available for Windows XP and Vista users worldwide. Episode 3, "The Mole, the Mob, and the Meatball", can be purchased from Telltale's website.

"The Mole, the Mob, and the Meatball" takes Sam & Max deep into a subversive toy-racketeering operation to look for an undercover mole who has suddenly gone silent. Before they can crack the case, the anthropomorphic crime-fighting duo will need to prove their worth to Don Ted E. Bear by becoming members of the Toy Mafia.

Episode 3 is the second of Telltale's Sam & Max games to be compatible with Vista. Released in January, Episode 2, "Situation: Comedy", is also playable on the new Windows operating system. A Vista-friendly version of the pilot episode, "Culture Shock", will be released in the next few weeks and will be made available for no additional charge to all existing "Culture Shock" customers.

The release marks the halfway point for the six-episode Sam & Max: Season 1. The series has been cited by gaming press and players alike as the first true episodic gaming experience, and has caught the attention of mainstream press, from the New York Times and London's Sunday Times, to Playboy and Australian Penthouse. The remaining Sam & Max episodes will be released on a monthly basis through May.
