Tales of Monkey Island Episode 4 review

We’ve arrived at the penultimate episode of Tales of Monkey Island from Telltale Games and boy is it a shocker. It’s okay, don’t worry. There are no spoilers of episode 4 here but if you’ve not finished episode 3 yet then you may want to pass on by. So as you should remember; Episode 3 of Monkey Island ended in yet another cliff-hanger with Morgan Le Flay once again betraying her hero (and ours); Guybrush Threepwood. She gives in to her greater lust for money and continues on with the Marquis De Sade’s bounty on Guybrush’s head. After escaping the...

Tales of Monkey Island Episode One review

Welcome to yet another review where I begin by reminiscing about my favourite childhood home computer, the Commodore Amiga. Yes it was around 1992 or 1993 when on this magnolia coloured jumped up electrical typewriter; I played the original Secret of Monkey Island. Since the original Point and Click adventure we’ve seen three sequels of which I have only played one; the Secret of Monkey Island 2. The third and fourth titles were released on PC at periods of time where I wasn’t able to enjoy them and sadly I’ve not gone back to play them yet. Now heading back...

The Secret Of Monkey Island Special Edition review

I originally played The Secret of Monkey Island on the Amiga and it completely opened my eyes to a new type of gaming when I realised you didn’t just go from left to right and could actually walk the other way! Although some of the puzzles were mind-numbingly hard or just plain silly, it was still very funny and I still have very fond memories of it. Now Special Edition is here and they’ve given it a complete makeover with brand new graphics and a voice-over. If you’ve never played the game before you play as Guybrush Threepwood, a wannabe...

Ceville review

Point and click adventures are like unpaid tax demands; years go by without any and then three come along all at once. So after my recent reviews of Evil Under the Sun and Sam and Max I wasn’t thrilled about having a third long adventure to play through but let’s find out if my apprehension was justified or not in my review of Ceville for PC. Ceville is a mouse driven point and click adventure set in a fairytale land called Faeryanis. You take control of a rather short dictator named Ceville who is a bit reminiscent of Lord Farquar...

Agatha Christie Evil Under The Sun review

We’re really into mysteries; whether it’s finding out who it is that is eating all the chocolate biscuits or if blondes really do have more fun. So when a copy of Agatha Christie’s Evil Under the Sun for Wii arrived in our post box we just had to jump up and down, not just once, but twice. After all we were about to become a virtual Hercule Poirot! As you probably already know, Poirot is a (fictional) French Speaking Belgian detective who has a canny ability in solving grisly murders. Evil Under the Sun was a novel first published in...
