    Monkey island is back - "Tales of Monkey Island"

    Hi everyone,

    I don't know if you've heard, but a new edition of Monkey Island will be released next month. The date is July 7th. The title of the game is "Tales of Monkey Island".

    Check out the trailer on YouTube by clicking here.

    The official homepage for the game can be found here.

    So, what do you think after seeing the homepage and the trailer?

    I heard that today, The Secret Monkey Island will be released for XBox Live, and Telltale will work on new Monkey Island episodes.

    I have my reservations. While it is great to see the series hasn't been forgotten and a new one is about to be released, it is in monthly episode form.

    A couple of good game series have recently been ruined using this monthly episode release idea with some of the monthly episodes containing hardly any gameplay at all for the money.

    And it gets worse. This is being created by the same developer who has been releasing the new Sam and Max monthly series, which hasn't been very good so far.

    But I can't judge anything by their previous efforts. This might turn out to be worthwhile.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    The Monkey Island SE remake can be seen here:

    We are discussing it over at EAB. Many don't like the new closeup art shots with cartoon style cell shading, but the switch between new and old versions whilst in game is a cool feature. I fear the old version will look like crap on modern 32" TVs and massive LCD monitors though, so it won't be doing the original experience much justice!

    I really like the new style, and also the voice acting. Looks like a lot of fun

    It indeed does look like fun. Monkey Island in widescreen! Only on the 360 and PC though - would have liked to download it on my PS3!

    The style reminds me a bit of Grim Fandango.

    I've just pre-ordered Tales of monkey Island, yay!

    And I found a few things here and there:

    A monkey Island flash

    And the Converse All Stars: Mêlée edition

    Too bad those shoes arent produced on a big scale, i'd sure go for it: my favourite shoes and one of my favourite game <3
