Monkey Island – Launch of the screaming, possibly flaming(!), narwhal
Piracy and games aren’t always a bad combination!
I’ve been silently campaigning (hoping even) for a new Monkey Island game for years now and Telltale Games almost sneaked one out with a completely new story without me noticing.
It’s now calling itself the Tales of Monkey Island and it is being released in five episodes:
The first chapter is out now and you can download a playable demo at http://www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland
And yes! It’s good, it’s very good! The writing is classic Monkey Island and they’ve even got the voice talent of the original Guybrush Threepwood himself – Dominic Armato. The guy with a name that sounds like tomato!
If you are a fan you won’t be disappointed.
Insult: “You fight like a dairy farmer.”
Comeback: “How appropriate. You fight like a cow.”
