My second review over at Snackbar Games is now up, wherein I compare Sam & Max: Season One for the Wii to a sitcom. I doubt I’m the first to describe it as such (the name and format certainly lend themselves to the comparison), but I think I’ve made a convincing case as to why it is apt.
Snackbar Games – Sam & Max: Season One Review
On an unrelated note, I know a number of us are compiling “best games of 2008” lists this month (some happily, others not so much), but a year is a long and memory is short. I can hardly remember what February was like, let alone what games were released that month.
With this in mind, I took a moment to scrape the Giant Bomb release calendar and compile a master list of games released in 2008. I hope its handy in jogging your memory about some of the great titles released last winter (hint: No More Heroes).
Disclaimer: I received a review copy of Sam & Max: Season One via Snackbar Games.

Do you know how well Giant Bomb compares to the wikipedia list of 2008 videogames? (There’s about 760-odd on their list, and might include some more Indie games)

I was told about that list afterwards, I may use it for next year’s list instead. Thanks for the tip!

Echocrome is a crazy little game. You wrote Echodrome, not Echocrome.

Fixed, thanks for the correction!
