Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Most important XBLA game this year released!

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/secretofmonkeyislandspecialedition

I'll be eagerly watching the reviews for this come in over the coming weeks and I'm hoping that a strong critical success for the game will lead to Lucasarts considering HD remakes for many more of there old point and click games.  I downloaded the game today and it's simply beautiful to look at and the work they've done on the sound is incredible, it really does bring a whole new lease of life into the adventure. 

For 800 points this has to be one of the best bargains on XBL, it will give hours of fun for anyone and will be enjoyable for those playing for the first time or indeed people to replay the game.  In the hour or so I've played of it today I couldn't help but switch back and forth from new to old to remember what it was like the first time round.

Anyone else on here loving the game and hoping for more of the same?

I finished the original, I don't know if I would buy this remake but yeah, it's a fantastic game.

Shadow Complex for me!



So many good games on XBLA last month and this coming month. Great stuff



Eh, don't care about Monkey Island at all. I played one of the older console versions before and I didn't like it.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

It will be Shadow Complex.



I don't bet on Shadow Complex, because I see a very straight maybe boring gameplay.

My favorites are:

Alien Breed
Splosion Man
Ion Assault
Fez
