Ditto over here. I thought the review was good witty and funny though.bodyklok said:
I will have to check out Monkey island at some point.
Also I'm assuming the banhammer guy is late for the moron who posted "first!!1" without even watching the video.
His Irish accent is a shite-ton better than his Scottish one xD
"Keep rubbing"
Oh, have to add I thought the movement controls were terrible in this game... really quite infuriating.

I was expecting the new Batman which was hinted at last week but I guess once again it hasn't been released in Austuria yet. Well at least reviews of downloadable games will help me deside wether to buy it or not, this review helped me deside since I was on the fence for a few weeks as to wether or not to to get the wiiware version. BTW, the review made me deside not to.
BTW does Yatzee know about The secret of monkey island special edition? I think he would like that since you can switch between the new visials on the old school graphics on both the Xbox 360 version and the PC version.

The re-release was on XBLA, Tales is on Wii. For PC, both can be gotta from Steam (And Tales from the maker's site if you don't like Steam for some reason, oh and Tales don't require a SSE2 processor to play...)williebaz said:
Oh dear lord, I don't think I've laughed so hard at a Zero Punctuation before. This was the one that made me register my account finally, instead of just lurking.
Totally going to use "Shiver me shamrocks" at every possible chance.

But technically this game isn't finished. He commented about how terrible the gameplay was in Silent Hill 2, but loved the plot, well he doesn't know all the plot yet. He knows 2/5 of it. And don't say "but he can review the episode" because you can't buy the episodes individually, you have to get a bundle (on PC. On wii... well don't bother).Cpt_Oblivious said:
Just sad, Yahtzee. I wonder if he even bothered to do any research. Y'know, like finding out one of the original 3 people that wrote the first two games (Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer, and Dave Grossman; the very last of which is the one I'm referring to) actually works at Telltale and had a large hand in the development process. Or the fact that they actually brought Ron Gilbert in and had him help out with some of their initial story design for the game.
I'm just complaining about the game being "fan wank" when most of the initial development had as much of the original team as possible. If Tim Schafer wasn't busy doing Brutal Legend, I'm sure they would have roped him in too, somehow.
The mouse controls are a bit difficult, but you can substitute them with WSAD if you prefer.
Furthermore, Ron Gilbert had envisioned the series as a trilogy. Meaning there was meant to be an "official" third game after Monkey Island 2, and it was not Curse of Monkey Island, obviously.
And finally, to whoever that guy is here. Tales of Monkey Island is NOT on XBLA yet. It's only on PC and Wii.

I know this is fairly off topic, but I feel it's a good story to tell ya. My buddy can't do an Irish accent for shit, and every time he tries he ends up doing a Pirate accent instead for some odd reason. So now i'm going to introduce him to the term "shiver me shamrocks" and make his day.the protaginist said:
Oh, please cry some fucking more. It's a joke. Humor. Hahaha, that's funny because it's a stereotype and not meant to offend someone unless you're one of those people with no sense of humor. Jesus, people like you piss me off. Lighten up.Jordo141 said:
On topic, though, I remember the old Monkey Island games...good stuff. Hilarious, just like everything else LucasArts used to put out (Sam & Max and Day of the Tentacle, anyone?). What happened to games with actual wit, anyway?
