Secret of Monkey Island Remake
So, the Secret of Monkey Island remake comes out today on Steam (and probably Xbox Live Arcade). To give you an idea of how much has changed in it, the game went from a 4.35 MB game (that's the size of the 256-color diskette version, the CD version is probably smaller file-size wise, because it used CD tracks for music) to a 2,160 MB game for the remake.

Better yet, unlike Tales of Monkey Island, they have all the Curse of Monkey Island voice actors.

Well, I haven't heard Stan's voice yet, but they have all the other majors ones: Guybrush, Elaine, LeChuck, and the Voodoo Lady.

Edit:
I also entered TellTale's "Game Designer For A Day" contest... the goal being to create a line about how Guybrush wronged you in some way.

My entry is "He broke into my home and stole everything he could fit in his pants!"

A reference to RPGs and Adventure games in general, and Guybrush specifically. ;)

So, vote for me for Governor. When there's only one candidate, there's only one choice!

I did, too. So the game is (almost) identical but the graphics are high-res'd, voice acting added, and different portraits used in the moody cutscene things? I read a link to the Grumpy Inventor Gamer Guy's blog where he listed all the things he didn't/did like with his product, but I don't remember what their goals were in the recreation.

I never left that first starting Island. Puzzles too danged hard. Broken Sword will forever be my favorite adventure game because I could figure things out on my own. And it's beautiful, atmospheric, funny when appropriate, and awesome.

Holy crap, I forgot about Stan.

I can't wait to see him in the Tales episodes. I bet he'll be like that dude in the mart in the Sam & Max episodes.

Oh, and voted...

Monkey Island hasn't even been out a week yet, and already a storm's brewing over the game's choppy framerate. When a fan complained on the Telltale Games forums about the Wii versions' framerate, a Telltale programmer went on record to say:
..The Wii is just not a powerful console. An iPhone is much more powerful than a Wii, even.
