It’s been 20 years since the release of LucasArts’ classic graphic adventure about pirates and demonic ghosts. That was when lead designer Tim Schafer last played through Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge, but with the game recently getting the special edition treatment, there has been no better time for Schafer to indulge in a spot of nostalgia.
He has been sharing his experiences on Twitter, revealing the name he would have given Guybrush, the scenes reused from the first game, his experiences with an analogue stick and his approval of HD cheese squigglies.
HPP's I Coleman takes a good hard look at the Monkey Island series, and why the third, fourth, and fifth games in particular are so unfairly maligned.

Neil writes "It's Spring and that can only mean one thing...the usual Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale has for one week been joined by the Xbox Spring Sale, bringing even more discounted titles to the table.
The thing is though, we'd much rather see a single quality deal put in place over a number of less decent ones. Thankfully, there are a few in amongst this week's deals that you should be dropping the cash on. Similarly though, there are some real stinkers out there that you should be avoiding.
Wanna know which are which?"
