Grin Monkey Island



Yes. Lucasarts is releasing a remake of the original Secret of Monkey Island. Remake as in redrawn. And although I'm not completely happy with the art style, I can't wait for the voice over. And I love MI from the bottom of my heart anyway.

And Telltale (the new Sam & Max game guys, I think) will start releasing monthly episodes of a new Monkey Island game starting July. Can't wait!

This was a nice surprise.

I guess the fact that LucasArts is releasing/re-making this game is a bit of a surprise, too (since they now seem content to just hold the rights and farm out the work to other studio ala Bioware making the MMO primarily).

Way to go Lucas Arts. Remakes. Not enough movies to remake? Douchebags.

I'm happy, I mean I love the old Lucas Arts adventure games and MI was one that I never got my hands on and now I can finally experience it.

You mean the special edition, not the new game, right?
I love the voice over, but I must admit I don't like the new graphics (or rather the art direction) too much.
