  • Sam & Max's VR adventure This Time It's Virtual arrives on Oculus Quest today - 8 July 2021

    Sam & Max: This Time It's Virtual, the wise-cracking anthropomorphic crime-fighting duo's (presumably very silly) plunge into the world of VR, is - after a short delay from its originally announced June launch window - out today on Oculus Quest. This Time It's Virtual (Sam & Max's first entirely new video game outing since Telltale Games' The Devil's Playhouse in 2010) is the work of developer HappyGiant, which promisingly includes Sam & Max creator Steve Purcell and a number of ex-LucasArts alumni who all worked on the studio's seminal 1993 point-and-click adventure Sam & Max: Hit the Road - writer/designer Mike Stemmle, creative director Mike Levine, and concept artist Peter Chan. Additionally, David Nowlin and Dave Boat, who've voiced Sam and Max previously in a number of Telltale titles, are reprising their roles as the dubious dog and bunny duo. Read more
