I have no words. Really, I don't.

Episodic, first coming July 7. ALSO: LucasArts will be releasing a modernified Secret of the Monkey Island.

Knowing Telltale, this won't be bad at all.

Did anyone look at the team page?

Most of the dev's are former LucasArts staff who've worked between them on all of the Monkey Island games, Day of the Tenticle, Grim Fandango, Full Throttle and Sam and Max.

Bloody hell.

I can't see them making this anything but good to be honest.

Lucas arts without the Lucas parts, excellent stuff.

It's probably going to be weird playing it in 3D, but still

Woo! I might pre-order for the DVD and free game.

Yes, where P is an expression of the retrogressive quality function known as George Lucas.

There's a demo out (see RPS) which is OK, but not really long enough to see whether I'd like it or not.

Well, I liked it.
Despite the clumsy graphics, it stills feels like a monkey island game.
It being episodic kind of sucks though.

Playing it right now.

In other news, Telltale is looking to get a Doctor Who license.

Odd.

Also, episodic is not as bad as in case of Valve, Telltale tends to roll one out monthly.

Having played it, I approve. It's good old Telltale humor, not quite as good yet as Sam and Max season 2, lots of missed opportunities, but it's good. One thing that is terrible though, it's the controls and the camera. It'd be bearable if either one of them wasn't shit, but they both are.

Ep. 2 is out.

That is all.
