This week's edition of the regular Critical Reception column examines online reaction to Telltale Games's Sam & Max Episode 2: Situation: Comedy, the latest installment in a "season" of six serialized PC adventure titles.

Fans of point-and-click adventure games regard 1993's Sam & Max Hit the Road as one of the genre's best, and for more than a decade afterward, many remained puzzled as to why a sequel was never produced. After years of rumors hinting at a Hit the Road follow-up -- followed by the announcement and subsequent cancellation of a Sam & Max sequel in 2004 -- the franchise was given new life in October of this year with the release of Sam & Max Episode 1: Culture Shock.
