REVIEW: Sam & Max Save the World (XBLA)

It seems that only one company, Telltale Games, truly understands what episodic gaming is---they are the only company to deliver their episodes promptly (within a reasonable timeframe), and pack in enough gameplay to satisfy their fans until next month. It is through this “mastery” of episodic gaming that Telltale has once again made themselves a well-known game developer. And their continuing success can be heavily attributed to one key series: Sam and Max.

Last.fm free for gold XBL subscribers, 3 hours per month for silver users

Last month during their E3 Keynote, Microsoft announced that Last.fm service would be coming to Xbox Live. But, Microsoft never gave any details during E3 as to the availability of the service to Gold members only or both Gold and Silver members. Well lucky for us, Christina DeRosa, general manager for XBL shared who the service will be available to.

"Silver users will be able access what we're considering a trial period of three hours a month, which comes with video advertising. Gold users will have unlimited ad-supported access, so they can use it 24 hours a day. There will also be a premium offering on a subscription basis from Last.fm, that will be commercial free and will also have more sophisticated personalization features, like Loved Tracks."

There you have it. Currently Last.fm's fee is $3.00 US (€3 EU or £3 GBP) per month. If you want the ad-free, full access service, you'll have to fork over an extra $36.00 a year. And if you haven't already got one, you will need to set up a FREE Last.fm account.
