LucasArts is publishing two adventure games this year – both set in the world of Monkey Island – and both direct-download, online only titles.
The first is actually a rerelease of the original Secret of Monkey Island – an Xbox Live Arcade and PC redux of the famed original adventure game that helped propel the publisher (as well as Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert) into the development spotlight.
The second title is actually a misnomer, given that, like Sam & Max, it's actually a series of five episodes, to be released gradually from mid-July on WiiWare and PC. Entitled Tales of Monkey Island, the game is a brand new adventure with a few unique – quasi-supernatural, even – elements that are as baffling as they are potentially hilarious. LeChuck's spirit? Living in Guybrush's left forearm? Bizzare, no?
It does beg the question, though – why now? And is this the start of something bigger? Those are the questions IGN put to Brooks Brown, Web Producer (Community-oriented dude) at LucasArts. Read on for the full enchilada.
