Sam & Max Episode 4 Starts Today

Abe Lincoln Must Die! Federally mandated group hugs, a pudding embargo... what's next, gun control? This will not stand, this aggression will not stand, man! Or so the dudes from Telltale tell us. In their latest Sam & Max: Season 1 episode, the hysterical detective duo is going for a trip down to the White House, to meet the man himself. And, quite likely, make a mess out of the United States' presidential institution.

"The President of the United States has lost it. Federally mandated group hugs, a pudding embargo... what's next, gun control? Sam & Max are off to Washington to take care of this bozo, but the political climate will only get stormier... and a new power will rise..."

This is pretty much the starting scenario for the fourth episode of Sam & Max: Season 1, titled "Abe Lincoln Must Die!", and premiering on GameTap today. The episode will also be released worldwide from Telltale's website in a couple of weeks, on March 8, at which point the season will be just two more episodes away from completion.

Until then, our local Sam & Max gallery welcomes you with a new batch of screenshots from Episode 4, and we also added a couple of trailers prepared by Telltale for this occasion. Here's one with Sam and Max trying to infiltrate the White House, and another one with some dancing men in black and a dangerously empowered rabbit. All hail Max!
