I finally got around to playing the latest installment of Sam & Max today — The Night Of The Raving Dead. It started out as a mid-crisis flashback for a twist, and then put me back in the familiar old office.

There was the obligatory driving game, this time set up somewhat like the old Paperboy game, except this time I was chucking CDs at zombies. After that it was off to the new location in this episode, a gothic castle in Stuttgart, populated by some more zombies and the most Eurotrash vampire you’ve ever seen.

The puzzles were fairly elusive this time around, making sense in hindsight but still sending me to check for a hint or two a few times. The humour still wasn’t really laugh-out-loud, but there was still a good chuckle here and there. An average episode overall, with a few decent digs at the whole goth/emo subculture.
