YAY!!!!!

Telltale has finally done it!!!!!

Issue 204 of PC Gamer UK has the reviews in for The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, and the review for the first episode of Tales of Monkey Island.


And the scores are in...

The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition - An oddly clumsy reprise of a much loved game. Beautifully hand-painted, wonderfully acted, but some strange design choices. 79%

Tales of Monkey Island: Episode 1 - More fun than a barrel of monkeys, and a fine follow-up to at least the last couple of Monkey Island sequels. 85%


YAY!!! You have won over PC Gamer UK...and they can be hard to please :eek:

I still haven't gotten SOMI...... The first episode of Tales was great though so there's no surprise there.

I never thought I'd see the day. Then again, they've got another 4 episodes to review yet

Hey, great job! It's kind of disappointing that they only compare it as being worthy of Escape and Curse though. Hopefully the next four chapters will give them a higher opinion of the series.

This is like an underrated band getting played on Radio 1 or Top of the Pops. My congrats to Telltale and I'm pleased they got an encouraging score too. Now hopefully they can hit the mainstream gamers.

Has anyone actually purchased a barrel of monkeys? It's not what you'd call..fun..

And I (ofcourse) got the Updated MI for the Xbox 360, and yeah, the controls were clunky, but the game still rocks.

I'm not really a fan of PC Gamer UK. They're a little too up themselves and intellectually highbrow for my liking, and most of their reviews read like something from a 6th form media studies paper.

Has PC Zone reviewed ToMI yet? I've always respected their opinion more.
