Good review. I was so excited when I first got xbox live and saw this on there. Have you tried the xbox version? the item and action system it uses is great.

No I have'nt from what I have heard the first game is better on xbox, however the second plays better on the PC.

I owe the people behind The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition a big thanks. After playing it on the 360, I got started on a SCUMM playing streak using the emulator on my PC. I ended up playing and beating Monkey Island 2, Monkey Island 3, Full Throttle and Day of the Tentacle. I never would have got around to trying those classics were it not for that Monkey Island special edition on the Xbox 360. I played the original Sam and Max and Simon the Sorcerer too, but didn't finish them

I'm not a PC gamer, but I can wholeheartedly say that I love the Lucasarts era of PC adventure games

I picked this up last year on XBLA, but never got around to playing through it. I figure I should give it a go and then maybe pick up LeChuck's Revenge on the iPhone if its still only a dollar.

Great review as always!

I highly suggest picking up The Dig, it is one of the least known Lucasarts adventures but is an amzing Sci-Fi story (It is much more mature than there other Adventures), couldn't recommend it enough.
