Someone clearly hasn’t watched all of Buffy and Angel and read all the comic books!

Since when does Joss Whedon bring *anybody* back to life? Jeez, I must have watched the only Whedon series that unapologetically kills off everybody.

I was genuinely surprised that people actually died in this game–very unlike the Monkey Island series, indeed. That being said, I think they handled it well; Guybrush’s delivery of all his lines right after the first person gets killed perfectly maintained the somber mood without allowing us to forget that the game is still supposed to be funny. A+.

Of course, given the presence of voodoo in these games, and the fact that villains are really the only ones who get offed in these games, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if we haven’t seen the end of the deceased.

Nah, when they first released it, you had to pay up front for the whole season. I ended up buying it, having loved the Sam & Max series, but I was expecting it to be not that good if they were trying to shovel it off like that.

Turns out it wasn’t that bad.

I was a little pissed off that they didn’t offer the episodes separately, and had you pay for the whole thing up front. It’s not that the games are bad, but I’m pretty sure they knew sales would have been dropping like flies once people got a hold of the third game otherwise.
