There’s no way of avoiding it, Steve Purcell is a bit of a legend. Creator of loveable cartoon duo Sam & Max, cover artist for classic LucasArt games such as Monkey Island, Zak McKracken and Indiana Jones, and now co-directing Pixar’s latest release, Brave, there’s an awful lot to talk about...
From Xfire: "Bunnies are often depicted in media and popular culture as small, fluffy, adorable little buck-toothed bundles of cuteness, so far as deifying a rabbit and incorporating it into Easter traditions, somehow associating the mammal with colourful eggs and the consumption of unhealthy quantities of chocolate effigies made in its image. However, not all lagomorphs are love and cuddles - as Australia would be happy to tell you - and in video games, more often than not rabbits will be psychopathic murderers.
Since the brief season in which the ritualistic worship of a paranormal rabbit is socially acceptable is upon us, let's take a look, in no particular order, at the best and baddest hares in video games who could send the Easter Bunny packing."
How is Fran from Final Fantasy XII missing? ;-) She is the most badass Rabbit ever been in a video game!
I would add a couple honorable mentions. Vibri from Vib Ribbon and Robbit from Jumping Flash.
Bucky O'Hare says hello even though he only had one game.
On this week's episode of Second Opinion, HPP's I Coleman says that Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse is better than Grim Fandango. He says some other stuff, too, but that's all anybody's gonna remember.
Player 2 looks at some left of field movies that would make perfect video game translations in the right hands.
Cool, didn't know he was co-directing Brave. Now I want to see it more than ever.
I know Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, or one of the early Monkey Island's usually gets the nod for "best LucasArts adventure game," but Sam-n-Max has always been my personal favorite. At the very least I think it's hard to deny that it's probably the funniest of all the Lucasarts adventure games.
