Tonight’s episode of VideoGaiden had a review of Sam & Max episode I. For anyone unfamiliar with it (i.e. probably anyone not living in Scotland) VideoGaiden is a games review show on BBC2 Scotland that's well, very very different from the style of video reviews you get on IGN/Gamespot and the like.
Anyway, they gave the game a very positive review and it might be worth a look if you have a broadband connection.
The show is online here (click progamme 3 for Sam & Max):

They also gave Psychonauts a rave review in the last series so they're OK in my book, even though they do fill their show with more comedy sketches than actual informitive content.
