Monkey Island To Return

Posted by Soulskill on from the chuckle-with-lechuck dept.

Briareos was one of several readers to write with news that TellTale Games, along with LucasArts, will be bringing new Monkey Island games later this year. Tales of Monkey Island will be a series of episodic games released for PC and WiiWare in the coming months, and The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition will be a remake of the original 1990 game, available on the PC and Xbox Live. A trailer is available for the former, and this is what the press release says about the latter: "The development team at LucasArts is bringing the game into the modern era with all-new HD graphics, a re-mastered musical score, full voiceover, and an in-depth hint system has been added to help players through the game's side-splitting puzzles. Purists will also delight in the ability to seamlessly switch between the updated HD graphics and the original's classic look." Grumpy Gamer has a nostalgic look back at the franchise.

    Every other story that has been run lately has been about games. Can we please have some real news?

    I fear this may be a trap, but what was first?

    46% (or more... Obama's budget intentionally underestimated military expenses) of money being spent by the federal government is borrowed. Think about that.

    Has it helped our economy? Nope. In fact, it's made it worse. The economy will recover when housing prices deflate to sane levels (something TARP, mortgage rewriting, etc is preventing) and people start buying houses again.

    But deficit spending is raising interest rates and using borrowed money to prop up inflated housing prices and dying industries (GM, Chrysler, Citibank, etc).
