Let’s Play – Sam & Max Save the World – Culture Shock

So, I’ve started a new solo venture to run alongside our other co-op-ed Let’s Plays. Instead of horror, I’m going to be playing and commentating on some of the many, many adventure-style and point-and-click games I own and love. I’m going to start off with the first of the most recent Sam & Max games, Save the World (a series of episodic short games).

Producing these videos was interesting, while a widescreen patch does exist, some elements of this first new season of Sam & Max don’t quite work, as they were designed for a 4:3 aspect ratio, so that’s what I’ll be playing it in. To cover the screen estate that most people will have left over, (as most people have 16:9 displays these days) I’ve applied some interesting affects in post. Later seasons have more widescreen support.

This week I’ve completed episode one – Culture Shock. Enjoy.

Beyond: Two Souls

Beyond: Two Souls has been out for just over two months here in the UK, and both myself and Peter of Peter Reviews have each played it through. It’s been an…interesting experience, not without its negative points. I never did a full review of Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain, (though you can read Peter’s full review here) but I consider it to be one of the best PS3 games made, and one of my favourite games in general. We pre-ordered Beyond: Two Souls at the first opportunity we had, there was no way we were going to miss it.
