We last left off with Guybrush Treepwood and his self elected first mate as they sail from spinner clay. They are well on their way to finding the elusive ‘La Esponja el Grande’. The one relic that is the cure to the dreaded evil pox that Guybrush has released on the Caribbean.

While out at sea well on their way to their next destination, until Guybrush gets attacked by the ferocious pirate hunter Morgan LeFlay. She tells him that she was hired by the Marquis De Singe to bring him back to Flotsam Island alive so that De Singe can dissect Guybrush and learn the secrets of the Pox.

However, all does not go according to Morgan’s plan as the ship they are on, the Screaming Narwhal, is swallowed by a huge Manatee. (more…)

Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings is a recent title that is set to be released on the Wii, DS, PSP, and PS2 systems. As like all games getting the general multiplatform run around; the game will be built differently for the Wii and DS, due to the different control schemes each system has.

Staff of Kings is also said to feature a whole slew of environmental interactivity, as according to Joystiq….
