Monkey Island To Return
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.
Pirates of the Caribbean ripped major thematic elements from Monkey Island!! Hopefully some people will notice this now and cry fowl!
One of the things I enjoyed most about the Pirates of the Caribbean movie was all those nods to Monkey Island.
But later I learned that both Monkey Island and the POTC film were referring to much earlier source material: the POTC ride at Disneyland.
Correlation doesn't imply causation :)
