I'm *really* looking forward to this new Monkey Island, I find it kinda exciting! As a long time Monkey Island fan, I bought 'em all, and even though Escape from Monkey Island didn't live up to the expectations that Curse of Monkey Island had spawned, it was still good (I agree with El Quia, they *totally* killed Murray, he had so much potential, he was just plain *awesome*!).
I'm still hoping that we'll get a MI5 some day (hey, the voodoo lady said she had an unbreakable 5-game contract!
), but in the meantime, this revamp of MI1 should be fun!
