PC - The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition - Added idol may indicate new Day of the Tentacle release(s) Destructoid writes: Get ready to be really excited Day of the Tentacle fans.

Take a close look at the Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition snapshot in the header image. The Tentacle idol featured in the center shouldn't exist. It wasn't included in the original PC release of the title (something anyone can easily check by fiddling with the visual toggle). Interestingly, the Tentacle idol -- which we can only assume is the dreaded Purple Tentacle -- is replacing two other LucasArts characters: Sam and Max.

What does this mean? There's a couple of likely avenues to explore: LucasArts is hinting at a new release of either Maniac Mansion or Day of the Tentacle or TellTale Games (creators of the episodic Sam & Max series) is indeed working on an episodic series revolving around Day of the Tentacle."

PC - The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition - Why The Secret of Monkey Island Is Over 2GB On PC, But Not Xbox 360 It's understandable to be confused about why an old school adventure game is suddenly taking up more than 2GB of space on your hard drive, especially when the Xbox Live Arcade version is only a quarter of that (just over 500MB). LucasArts' Twitter has explained the size discrepancy for The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition -- it comes downto compression.

Or, rather, a lack there of on the PC version; it's uncompressed audio and art there. The Xbox Live Arcade version, on the other hand, required compression. G4 has played a little bit of the game on Xbox 360, however, and didn't notice any issues with it.

PC - The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition - Exclusive Tales of Monkey Island Demo - Gorbush Thirftweed's Back! UGO writes,

"Guybrush's adventures are of the point-and-click variety. I know that may scare off ye newcomers, so Telltale's been kind enough to fork over a special UGO branded demo. Go on, give it a download - walk the proverbial plank. It's the best 188MB you'll use all week, I promise.

What, you still need encouragement? Take a look at Justin Haywald's glowing Grade A review over at 1UP."

PC - The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition - Lucasarts To Revisit Adventure Classics Given the inclusion of The Fate of Atlantis with the new Indy game for the Wii, and the upcoming remake of The Secret of Monkey Island, you would be forgiven for thinking Lucasarts is jumping on the remake bandwagon and giving all their classic adventure games a jumpstart. There is only one catch to this presumption becoming a reality, the upcoming title The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition has to sell well, really well. More after the break.
