XBLA to get downloadable Sam & Max?

360 News | Telltale mulling it over.

We love ourselves a bit of Sam & Max here on PALGN, so news that Telltale is considering giving the dog and rabbit duo a run out on the Xbox 360 is welcome indeed. More specifically, it's the Xbox Live Arcade service that Telltale is eyeing up as the potential platform for the dappy pair's next adventure, though a spokesperson for the developer was understandably coy when it came to revealing specific details.

"We can confirm that we're hiring an Xbox 360 programmer, although we do not have any official Xbox project announcements to share right now," explained Telltale's representative, after speculation had been whipped up following the posting of a job advert for a 360 programmer on the developer’s official website.

"Telltale is continually evaluating new platforms - not only for Sam & Max but for other projects we have in the works. We're huge supporters of digitally distributing episodic content, and this has been working very well for our current Sam & Max series on the PC. For a potential Sam & Max Xbox project, we'd certainly look closely at a downloadable digital solution like the Live Arcade."
