New Sam & Max episode includes extra iOS content
Adventure developer Telltale Games has released two new titles for Apple platforms. One is the first iOS episode in a new Sam & Max season, Beyond Time and Space. In Episode 1: Ice Station Santa, Sam & Max face off against Santa Claus in a bid to save the world's children. Story and design are by the creator of the Sam & Max comics, Steve Purcell, and the iOS version includes a soundboard plus a "Whack da Ratz" minigame.
Ice Station Santa is a universal download for both iPhones and iPads, and costs $7. Players must have at least iOS 4.2. Episodes 2 through 5 are said to be "coming soon."
Telltale has also meanwhile brought the first three episodes of Law & Order: Legacies to Mac and Windows. Like the TV series, players handle a series of cases as both detectives and district attorneys; famous characters such as Lennie Briscoe and Jack McCoy make appearances. Legacies costs $20, including four as-yet unreleased episodes.
