Sam and Max is amazing. Anyone with a sense of humor should play them as well as many of the point and click games. Well worth the time and money.
I liked the story in Bttf, but I didnt feel like I'd 'played' anything. After Season 2 they starting making their games more cinematic, which meant annoying camera angles and ditching point and click controls in favour of direct control. Monkey Island pulled it off becuase it still had some interesting puzzles, but Bttf was just insultingly easy. Now it seems they've stopped making adventure games and started making interactive stories.
That said, I'm really liking The Walking Dead so far, thats how to make an interactive story engaging. Its nice to feel like you have some influence over the story, and the quicktime events are tense (unlike Jurassic Park)

@tmysmyth4 Season 3 of Sam and Max was amazing. Each episode did something really clever. I was blown away by the time jumping clever bits in the second episode. That inspired me to buy the other seasons.
Difference of opinion, but you gotta respect that they were trying new things.

@Cerun Yeah the psycic powers were an interesting idea, and I do respect that. I think it was the halfway point in season 3 it just starting getting really repetitive and predictable, the powers were probably overused and the solutions were sometimes repeated. Must say that Sammun-Mak episode was excellent though.
Rather than trying different things it just felt like the switch to direct control was purely for consoles, and the cinematic presentation/simple puzzles were to appeal to a wider audience. I can't blame them for that, but it seems ever game they release is another movie/TV spinoff that's not much more than interactive fiction. After Bttf, Jurrassic Park, TWD and Law&Order it would be nice if they did something different and made a proper adventure game again
