</a> On the top floor of a hotel in the heart of L.A.’s Little Tokyo, I just finished witnessing something many adventure game fans had long given up on ever seeing in their lifetimes: a brand spanking new <i>Monkey Island</i> game. As you’ve no doubt heard by now, LucasArts and Telltale Games are collaborating on a new five-part series entitled <i>Tales of Monkey Island</i>. The folks at Telltale, including one of the fathers of the original <i>Secret of Monkey Island</i>, Dave Grossman, were nice enough to invite me over the night before E3 officially begins to have an early peek at the first episode, <i>Launch of the Screaming Narwhal</i>, due out July 7th, 2009 for PC (and “soon” afterwards through WiiWare). If there are any fans out there worried that <i>Monkey Island</i>’s ship has sailed, it certainly looks like Telltale may be just the captain to pull it back around to where it belongs.



Our story begins right about where Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate™, was hoping it would finally end. Some years have passed since we last saw Guybrush at the end of <i>Escape from Monkey Island</i>, but he hasn’t been resting on his laurels, and neither has—unfortunately for him—the evil Ghost Pirate LeChuck. LeChuck has once again kidnapped Guybrush’s wife, the lovely Elaine Marley, and is keeping her prisoner on his ship, while in his spare time he experiments on captive monkeys to learn their “secrets.” Guybrush has finally gathered all the ingredients necessary to create the Cursed Cutlass of Kaflu, which, according to his old friend the Voodoo Lady, can put an end to LeChuck once and for all. That is, until Guybrush accidentally breaks it. The first major puzzle players will attempt is to find some “reasonable substitutions” for the ingredients. Once the stand-in Cutlass is ready to go, Guybrush thrusts it into LeChuck’s sternum, though the results are not quite what he’d hoped. <a href="http://www.adventuregamers.com/gameinfo.php?id=1502" target="_blank">
