    Nice review. I checked it out earlier this morning when it came in via Google Alert!

    A few other reviews worth checking out: EuroGamer, spoiler-containing review at
    CHUD
    , and a review at Talking About Games.

    I get an email from Google Alerts whenever it picks up that someone's written an article about Sam & Max or Telltale. It's super handy!

    Resident Evil 4 references? Timeless!

    uh, on second thought (or first) not at all!

    Maybe I'll start reviewing games now too.

    "found the humour in "Nights of the Raving Dead" quite enjoyable"
    That line just cracks me up. Thats like reviewing a tv and going "I found that turning on a tv is quite enjoyable because it allows me to watch it.

    PS.Jake does your google thing show you blogs to?

    I think it's anything that Google spiders, including blog updates.

    Well.. I could have not enjoy the humour in episode 203, but I did.. and damn writing something smart about humour after already 3 Sam&Max reviews is quite hard..

    Yeah, Google update is kinda random about what it picks up. Sometimes it will find some weird tiny little blog but completely miss a major site. I'd say it misses blog posts more often than not, but they do pop up from time to time.

    Google spiders sound dangerous. Are we still talking about the creepy crawlies of Night of the Raving Dead or did I miss something?

    Sorry to get off-topic (again!), but I'd just like to say it's nice having more of the TT posting regularly around here. :)

    Google's are better than "Yahoo Slurp Spiders." Those are the ones to fear.

    Google updates aren't just pulled by spiders. You have to register your site with Google for it to be included in news updates.

    Perhaps the person who owned it made it appear Dracula style.

    Just keep in mind that EuroGame are IDIOTS - they think that Moai Better Blues is better than this!

    From GameTap's very own review:

    http://www.gametap.com/home/read/article/3885
    A cool Paper Boy minigame debuts; great character parts by Jurgen, Sybil, and the comical Hans Moleman

    D'oh!



    Then there's this review, which claims the game can be completed in one hour. Huh?!
    I'm starting to think gaming journalists are some sort of geniuses, but then I realize that every other piece of evidence points to the contrary.

    I don't think that counts, seeing as they made mention of Boscoe
