Re: Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 1 - Launch of the Screaming Narwha
Personally, I'll probably wait until the complete season is available. It's generally cheaper that way, and then I'll have all the new Monkey Island goodness at once.
When the Secret of Monkey Island remake comes out next week, though... no hesitation!

I'll also be waiting for the Steam release. Hopefully it will run pretty well on my eee pc since newegg hasn't shipped the replacement for my defective videocard yet. I just played through Sam and Max 105 last night and it ran pretty well at 1024x768 (though the jaggies were horrible, I guess the eee's videocard can't do AA) but it's 2 years old so Monkey Island might be a little more demanding.

It was good and shows very good signs for the rest of the chapters. Found the controls a bit weird at first and the tutorial mission is on the heaving oceans which took me a bit to get use to.
The story started well, there are good puzzles and the humour is there. Not much experience in episode games but I felt it was a bit short but I enjoyed it.

I only had the chance to play the tutorial bit so far so I can't really comment on the whole thing (though I suspect I'll play through the entire rest of the game tonight...) but yeah, the controls are definitely odd. Not sure why they needed to use something like this, what's wrong with simple point and click?

Re: Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 1 - Launch of the Screaming Narwha
They're more like click and drag. Click down then move the mouse in the direction you want to move. As soon as you let go he stops moving, and to change direction you need move your mouse.What are the controls? I'm okay with almost anything that doesn't involve "Eep" "Oop" and "Chee".
Re: Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 1 - Launch of the Screaming Narwha
I was also playing on my laptop and it's trackpad (as I was expecting it to be pure point and click) so that made it even more awkward. I guess when I sit down tonight to play I'll have to either go back to my desktop or just temporarily steal it's mouse.

Both Telltale and Steam are only selling the complete season (with the rest being a preorder), not individual episodes. And if you're waiting for the disc, you get that for the cost of shipping at the end of the season. Might as well jump in now.

Oh, really? Hm... I do get paid tomorrow... *fingers credit card*

Yep, and the arrow keys work as well for movement and dialog option selection

Using WASD and shift to run is a lot better than the click and drag movements.

I don't understand why they use the mouse drag method in the tutorial, WASD is so much easier to use.

Can't wait for this. Planning to get it on WiiWare, but I'm thinking of holding out until the inevitable XBLA version as I am a shallow achievement whore. Also, 720p. Was tempted to get it on Steam but, sigh, I'm very much a couch gamer these days.
It's probably some kind of obscene blasphemy in some circles to play Monkey Island on a console...
