Game doesn't exist on 360; you're thinking of Monkey Island SE. The 'Tales of' episodic game is on PC and Wii only, this deal being just PC.

[Jerajdai]

Awesome deal - thanks OP!

[EvilIA]

I think that the SE version is even getting a discount tomorrow. Can your steam account work on multiple PC's? I suspect I can only download the game and play on one PC. But I was thinking of using work to order it, then download when I get home.

[Xfactor19990]

tales of monkey island episode 1 will be free tomorrow to download.

Thanks for the heads up. No idea what the game is about or anything, but since it's free I'll definitely download it.

[utopianmachine]

Nice. Thanks for the head's up, OP.

here's the direct link:

http://www.telltaleg...playlikeapirate

the reviews place it so far as better than escape, but worse than the first three

if you have never played any monkey island games, the $5 special edition monkey island is a good place to start

[reubensitos]

YAHOO! Thank you OP!

[Xfactor19990]

updated added direct link thanks Vherub

[ctrek3]

nice. thanks op

[mkernan]

Its free beginning at midnight GMT, which is:

6PM CST, 7PM EST, 4PM PST

(pretty sure about those times...)

That's listed pretty clearly on the page, complete with countdown clock, but just figured I'm mention it in the thread.

[shigster]

Thanks for the link OP!

[Ryukahn]

That site doesn't mention anything about it being available on steam for free. Hopefully steam has it and it's not just through the site.
