OXM UK writes: "Telltale Games is the new home for the Freelance Police Sam & Max, after the two spent the 90s earning critical success alongside LucasArts other point & click adventures.
After a failed return with the cancelled Sam & Max: Freelance Police, the two left LucasArts and eventually was picked up by Telltale Games, who went on to release two seasons worth of new adventures for the canine in a hat and a sharp suit and his psychopathic rabbit partner via digital distribution on PC.
Now the first season is being bundled together and released as a full title on Xbox Live Arcade this spring as Sam & Max Save the World, with season two, Sam & Max Beyond Time & Space following at a later date.

Skunkape Games has released a collector's edition of the Sam & Max Save the World vinyl soundtrack. There's also a digital album on Bandcamp.
"Two classic Sam & Max games coming to PlayStation on September 29! Sam is a six-foot canine detective with a love of justice. Max is a hyperkinetic rabbity-thing with a taste for mayhem. Together, they’re the Freelance Police—an irreverent comedy duo whose esoteric crime-fighting style has been entertaining comic book and video game fans for more than thirty years.
In Sam & Max Save the World (aka Season One), a mind-control scheme involving washed-up child stars spirals to encompass the media, the mafia, the United States government, and the internet, building up to an out-of-this-world finale. In Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space (aka Season Two), Sam & Max are back on the crime beat in a showdown with Santa Claus, a race to subdue a giant volcano, and a face-off with a Eurotrash vampire... and then things get really weird.
