Sam and Max, everyone’s favourite psychotic bunny and sardonic dog will be back in 2010. Telltale Games has slung up a teaser site that says a new Sam & Max game will be released in 2010.

The new Sam & Max title is likely to be Season 3 of Telltale’s episodic adventures starring the animal detectives. The new site’s starry theme and a glimpse of a Max-style spaceship suggests their investigations are going inter-stellar.

The narration on the Sam & Max trailer site also makes reference to “a power-mad gorilla pitted against a canine detective and a sociopathic bunny with psychic powers.” So we can expect the duo’s new nemesis to be some form of angry ape.

There’s also a reference to the player being in control which could be a hint that Telltale is going to make Season 3 of Sam & Max’s adventures the first to ditch the cursor based control system.

Signing up to the site also gives you the chance to download a free Christmas themed game – Sam & Max: Ice Station Santa – but if you’ve got a Mac you’re out of luck as the game is purely for PCs.

Hold onto your night vision goggles, we’ve unearthed some ‘classics’.
