Monkeys Are Coming To XBLA...Well Sorta

Telltale Games design director Dave Grossman has said Tales of Monkey Island may appear on Xbox Live Arcade after release on PC and WiiWare, which launch this summer. So why should you be excited? Because its fucking MONKEY ISLAND! Honestly, I have never played this game myself but from what I hear its one of the Top 5 Adventure games you must play. That's a pretty convincing list to be put on, so expect good things if this comes true.

Tales of Monkey Island takes place during a heated battle with his nemesis, the evil pirate LeChuck, Guybrush unwittingly unleashes an insidious pox that rapidly spreads across the Caribbean, turning pirates into zombie-like monsters. The Voodoo Lady sends Guybrush in search of a legendary sea sponge to stem the epidemic, but this seemingly straightforward quest has surprises around every corner.

Seems to me that adventure games would fair well on XBLA especially one thats as popular as this. So look forward to hearing more about this in the coming months and get your parrot ready!
