It seems that everyone has it out for Guybrush Treepwood lately in the latest installment of Tales of Monkey Island. After being knocked out and kidnapped by the lovely Morgan Le Flay, Guybrush, once again finds himself heading towards the shores of Flotsam Island.

As most of you know the deranged doctor De Singe has been dying to get his hands on Guybrush since he originally washed up on the shores of Flotsam in the first installment. Will Guybrush finally meet his end at the hands of De Singe? Will he stand trial in pirate court and pretend he is Phoenix Wright? Or will he finally sell some fine leather jackets? You’ll find out in this exciting and second to last episode in the Tales of Monkey Island series.

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…)

My mind is exploding this week .. only one game for Wii, but it’s Guitar Hero 5! And then there’s the second chapter for Tales of Monkey Island, not to mention that some folks will be excited to check out the original Master System version of Phantasy Star. Don’t even get me started on the DLC music for Rock Band 2 this week, either … Christmas?

As we last left off in the Tales of Monkey Island; lots of pirating went down on Flotsam Island and Guybrush now has a new ship called the Screaming Narwahl. He’s a man with a mission, as not only does he have to rescue his wife Elaine from the clutches of the evil pirate LeChuck, but he has to find a legendary sponge to cleanse him of  an evil voodoo pox. As This pox was released during a misfortune substitution of voodoo ingredients during the last heated battle with his nemesis.

As you would expect with any episodic game you start off exactly where you left off at the end of  the Launch of the Screaming Narwahl. With a sword to Treepwood’s throat and questions to why it is there. (more…)
