Dante Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Gamerbytes - The Secret Of Monkey Island Coming To Xbox 360 Yes, it's been an awfully long time, but it appears that The Secret Of Monkey Island is coming back, and to the Xbox 360. The German USK rating board has revealed that The Secret Of Monkey Island - Special Edition is on its way. This was the very original Monkey Island game, from all the way back in 1990. As for what makes it a Special Edition is currently unknown -- could they be re-doing the graphics? Could the game possibly have a voice cast? The rating suggests that Activision might have some involvement in the project, but most likely this is simply Activision Europe rating the title for LucasArts, as they are the European publishing arm that LucasArts use. We can only assume this is an Xbox Live Arcade title, but there is a slim chance that this is a retail retelling of the original too.
dwarf Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I remember that game from the PC! Was quite a laugh but difficult in places.
Caris Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Right anyone who has me on XBL delete me, i got RROD for the 4th time since the 360 came out so i got refund and bought a PS3. Not changing again it's a piss take.
Shorty Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Hm, shouldn't you wait until after E3 to change consoles? you'll be gutted if you see something truly awesome next month on the 360.
Caris Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I'm not getting another when there built like a shed, cba anymore.

Not changing again it's a piss take. You have been so unlucky with that! It's weird coz my wii and ps3 have both broke and ive had to replace yet my 360 hasn't...
Nintenchris Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Im still on my second 360.. sold the first one to get an elite... a month after i sold it RROD!
Aimless Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Seventh. I've been playing Wheelman today. When you drive through roadblocks all the police cars explode for no apparent reason, there's a big truck blocking the entire highway with a ramp inexplicably placed in front of it — which explodes when you go over it — and when people talk Vin Diesel's replies have a tendency to sound like they're part of a completely different conversation. It's ace.
Caris Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Im still on my second 360.. sold the first one to get an elite... a month after i sold it RROD! I thought you took your first Elite back cause the disk drive broke?
Nintenchris Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Good point! the first elite stopped readin disks after 3 weeks! i still remember the guy at Gamestation looking like he had swapped new 360's over a million times before.
Bren Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I'm not getting another when there built like a shed, cba anymore. But the ps3's wank...

Noodleman Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 LoveFilm just sent me the new(ish) Prince Of Persia, am I only one that thought it was a bit well cack?
LegoMan1031 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 LoveFilm just sent me the new(ish) Prince Of Persia, am I only one that thought it was a bit well cack? I watched a friend play it once. I wasn't impressed.
Cube Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I watched a friend play it once. I wasn't impressed. And it's much better watching it than playing it.
Bren Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Still on my first one And Lol@skunky, its like you want Choze to make a comment. lol, i own one and they suck xD
Dan_Dare Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 And it's much better watching it than playing it. I thought it felt exactly the same
That Guy Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I remember that game from the PC! Was quite a laugh but difficult in places. I would buy all the Monkey Island games on XBLA. Hopefully they bring them all out, including that PS2 one I never got round to getting.
Goafer Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I would buy all the Monkey Island games on XBLA. Hopefully they bring them all out, including that PS2 one I never got round to getting. Escape From Monkey Island? I got that a few weeks ago. It's ok. I had it on the PC when it first came out. I remember the PC version being better, especially the controls. The load times are pretty poor on the PS2 as well, can't rememeber what they were like on the PC.
CooInTheZoo Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Right anyone who has me on XBL delete me, i got RROD for the 4th time since the 360 came out so i got refund and bought a PS3. Not changing again it's a piss take. How did you get a refund? Do they offer it to you once your 4th machine breaks or something? My third machine keeps choking... EDIT: It's actually my fourth, I think.
That Guy Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Took it back to the shop i got it from. Haven't you had a PS3 before? And said it was loads better? I'm not trying to take the piss, just confused :p
Caris Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I've switched a few times yeah, but I cba with anymore breakdown hasstle anymore. I've always said both machines were good.
That Guy Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I've switched a few times yeah, but I cba with anymore breakdown hasstle anymore. I've always said both machines were good. Could you not keep both? Or was it down to money?
Shorty Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 LoveFilm just sent me the new(ish) Prince Of Persia, am I only one that thought it was a bit well cack? That's on my LoveFilm list :/ *sets priority to Low*
