The Tomb of Sammun-Mak is the second episode of Sam & Max season three, The Devil's Playhouse. If that means absolutely nothing for you, here's the lowdown: Sam & Max is a comic book series with a, shall we say, rather bizarre style of humor. It was later turned into a tamer Saturday morning cartoon, and has over the past five years been turned into episodic series of video games, now in its third season. They're adventure games, meaning they're focused on story, dialogue and puzzle-solving instead of action. Think fully interactive movie. Got it? Good!

With episode one, The Penal Zone, the duo rid the world of a power mad space gorilla, and Tomb… starts where the previous game ended. Surprising to some, maybe, this game barely involves Sam and Max, but is rather an "origin" story where you play their grandfathers in search of the Devil's Toybox. Yes. It's all probably a bit odd, and when you throw in Molemen, a Twilight Zone style narrator, a  Eurotrash vampire, and a pre-Santa-gig Kringle, who's a psychotic sweatshop toy factory owner… "Bizarre" might be a better word to describe it.

It's a good type of bizarre, however. The game is hilarious, with excellent dialogue and great locations. It's hard to fully explain the humor, but if you like the quirky non-sequitur style of, say, Monty Python, then you should be good with Sam & Max.

Recommended beer pairing A strange game requires a strange beer. Dogfish's Raison D'extra definitely goes well with the humor.

The episode takes roughly five hours to play through, which is comprable with the first game in the season. Some of the puzzles can be tricky, but there are always amusing dialogue options and background interaction to play around with while thinking.

I found The Tomb of Sammun-Mak to be another hilarious entry in the ever-growing Sam & Max saga. The season is around $35, and is available in digital format for the PC, Mac, PS3, and iPad, with the second episode being released some time today.

And if a video explains it better than I can, the trailer might make sense.
