Just a quick note about the release date for The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition. Microsoft, along with LucasArts have both revealed that the remake of the original Monkey Island will appear on Xbox Live Arcade starting July 15th and will cost 800 Microsoft Points ($10.00). On the same day, the PC version will also be released on Steam and cost $10.00.

For me anyway, this is one I can’t wait for. I consider the Monkey Island series to be one of the best in the videogame industry, and seeing the special edition include; a re-record score, updated graphics and now voice work is a welcoming change. If you are a purest and don’t want to play the game with all the snazzy updated features, don’t worry; you can play the original with the flick of a button.
