Because overall, LucasArts does a poor job of making their old games available for sale. You can't buy them anywhere.

Tales isn't as good as the originals, but I thought it was pretty okay. I liked it better than Escape, which I could never bring myself to finish.

Not buying any, which one to vote for? Just Cause 2, Dead Space 2 or Grand Theft Auto IV?

This might sound ultra cheap but if you add Tropico 4 and then all the dlc, you save 2 cents over selecting the Tropico 4 bundle.

The second also has developer commentary with Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer, and Dave Grossman Tales of Monkey Island was made by Telltale (The Walking Dead, Jurassic Park, Sam & Max Season 1-3, etc) a few years ago. It's a sequel to those earlier games.

Oh OK. Thanks for the replies.

I'm completely new to the Monkey Island series. Would you say that it would be a good idea to buy both?

GTA4 so the GTA Complete Pack will be discounted. Best deal, and not as common as the other deals.

Is monkey Island a platformer? Never even heard of the game.

I don't know about Tales of Monkey Island, but for the price, the Secret of Monkey Island bundle is definitely worth it.

Absolutely. But honestly, I've played both games more than a dozen times. The Secret of Monkey Island wasn't my first game by a long shot, but it's the one that really opened my eyes to gaming and gave me a new appreciation for them. I probably see them through a different set of eyes than most people, even if they are very well regarded.

If it's DLC right-click on the game in your steam library and you can view purchased content.

It's a point and click adventure game by Tim Schafer (Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, etc.) and Ron Gilbert (Maniac Mansion, Deathspank). It's widely considered to be a classic in the genre.

I bought Tropico 4 + modern times, first thing I bought so far

Alright, thanks again guys. And thanks to Woodlands who gave his input on the previous page. I didn't quote him because he posted while I was typing my last post.

I say vote for Dead Space 2.

I think those will pretty much do it. Keep in mind that a few of those are available in a bundle which will save you a few cents. http://store.steampowered.com/sub/14757/

I really enjoyed Tales of Monkey island (As much or maybe a bit more than Sam and Max telltale adventures even). And if you never played the original Monkey Island games, I would get those as well.

I remember playing curse of monkey island, they dont have that one

Ok.. I just noticed Vessel uses the Humble Bundle Store services.. so maybe it does have a high chance of being in a future humble bundle.
