"Gamers get to play the new episodes of Sam & Max first on GameTap, where the whole Sam & Max experience is enriched with additional amazing content," said Ricardo Sanchez, GameTap Vice President of Content. "Telltale and GameTap are also co-producing new animated machinima "shorts," which will premiere in November as a prelude to the second game episode, with more shorts airing between monthly episodes to give Sam & Max fans a regularly scheduled fix. With the new machinima shorts and a behind-the-scenes documentary that brings them inside 'The Making of' the new Sam & Max game, this exclusive Sam & Max experience adds that much more value to the monthly subscription."
