I didn’t mention it before but I thought I’d do but it’s been revealed that first of they are making a remastered version of Monkey Island 1, which is awesome and second they are making a new Monkey Island Episodic series, similar to how it is with thew new Sam and Max series which is sweeter then sugar!

I’ve always been a big Point and click adventure game fan and it sucked to see that genre nearly disappear after the year 2000. Curse of Monkey Island is one of my favorite game of all time and I hope this new content will not fall far from that tree. I have faith in it since a lot of the staff that has worked on earlier Monkey Island games are working on the new content, even Ron Gilbert the creator of Monkey Island has been poking around the developer office so yay!

Though I would have liked to have Tim Schafer there since he’s responsible for a lot of the humor in Monkey Island and he also designed and wrote a lot of my most cherished Point and click games such as Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango(while technically not a point and click game…who cares it’s AWESOME)

The new game is set after some major event that happened..so you just pick off sort after the imaginary Monkey Island 5. While the 3d graphics look better then Monkey Island 4, I would still have much preferred a 2D animation Monkey Island..always been a fan of cartoony graphics.

We’ll just see how it turns out.
