So is anyone else excited about the new Monkey Island games that were announced by LucasArts? Granted, it's not MI5, and as always with LA there's the possibility of being greatly disappointed, but even still, the fact that LucasArts has finally made a move gives me more hope for the future. In a nutshell, there will be a completely new 5 episode series (Sam & Max style?) called Tales of Monkey Island for WiiWare and of course PC. This in my view has potential, hopefully they'll get some of the original writers back together and make something decent.
What's more, they've announced a remake of Secret of Monkey Island for Xbox 360 and PC, with graphical upgrades, voiceovers etc. As long as they steer clear of EMI's control system and stay true to the humour and plot of the original, it could be very good indeed.
