Few franchises have enjoyed such a cult status as the famous Monkey Island series by LucasArts. While the original trilogy is simply above all praise and the remastered versions of The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition and Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge (TMA Review) have already found their way onto iOS, the PC version of Escape from Monkey Island was a flop. That’s why when Telltale announced they were going to take over the series from LucasArts, the entire Monkey Island community held its breath. And only with the release of Monkey Island Tales 1 could fans finally breath… Monkey Island Tales 1 is a hallmark Telltale episodic point-and-tap adventure. We meet Guybrush Threepwood, the mighty pirate™, already all grown up and still married to the beautiful Elaine. Fighting the evil LeChuck yet again, Guybrush blunders the mystic potion in an attempt to defeat his foe once and Read More

Gaming has grown exponentially over the course of the last 2+ years since the introduction of the App Store. Apple's iOS devices, with their touch screens and accelerometer/gyroscope capabilities, have given developers the opportunity to deliver gaming experiences that are unlike anything available on other platforms. And while there have been an incredible amount of unique games released for these devices, the popularity of the platform also brings a strong desire to see previously successful games ported over from other areas of gaming. Here is a selection of ports from 2010 that have found a new home on the App Store, and in many instances have even proved to be superior to their originals. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, $9.99 - [Lite / iPad] - [Review] - [Forum Thread] - It's GTA in your pocket, 'nuff said. Last January when it was released, it was impressive that the entirety of GTA: Read More

Brief – Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge for iPhone is now available for only a buck! If you still haven’t grabbed it, by all means – do that right away. It’s a great adventure game which we covered in the past (and which has its own Wikipedia page) and, honestly, I doubt there’s a better way to spend 99 cents. Unfortunately, iPad version kept the “old” $9.99 price tag… Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge for iPhone ($0.99) [iTunes link] Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the Read More

Epic Games verzeichnet seit der Apple-Keynote-Grafikdemonstration mit ‘Epic Citadel‘ (kostenlos; App Store-Link) bereits eine Millionen (Gratis-)Download aus dem App Store. Nachdem Cupertino seine Entwickler-Richtlinien für die Verwendung von Drittanbieter-Werkzeugen lockerte, folgte nun die zu erwartende Ankündigung vom iOS-Support der Unreal Engine 3. We announced UDK will be able to generate iOS applications! ‘Licht’ – neues Wort – ‘Spiele’. Der amerikanische Stiftung-Warentest-Ableger ConsumerReports.org fühlt sich genötigt, nach Apples Bekanntgabe der Beendigung für die kostenfreie Bumper-Aktion, seine ‘Nichtempfehlung‘ in einem Blogbeitrag noch einmal zu wiederholen: Apple has quietly [Hervorhebung von mir] discontinued its free-case program for the iPhone 4 effective October 1 [...] Von einer ‘stillen’ Schließung kann keine Rede sein. Wer bei Pressekonferenzen nicht zuhört oder Webseite (http://www.apple.com/iphone/case-program/) nicht schmökert, kämpft hier lediglich um Aufmerksamkeit. But putting the onus on any owners of a product to obtain a remedy to a design flaw is not acceptable to us. We therefore continue not Read More

This will be the shortest Daily App post I've ever had to write. LucasArts has inexplicably put the iPhone version of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge Special Edition on sale for just US 99 cents. Go buy it. You're welcome. Oh, you need more? This is one of the most beloved LucasArts adventure games of all time, and it's actually two games in one. They redrew and recorded all new voices and audio just for this edition, and you can switch between the old and the new games at any time. It's got a new control scheme, or you can point and click your way around the old control scheme. It's hilarious, beautiful, still original, and just plain captivating. Oh, and it's usually $7.99 (in fact, the iPad version is still priced at $9.99, even during this sale). Just go buy this game right now! This is a crazy bargain for Read More

Back in early July, the classic LucasArts adventure game from the 90's Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge was released for the iPhone and iPad. Much more than just a simple port, the entire game features modernized graphics and an interface that has been tailored for touch screen controls. For the purists out there, you can easily switch over to the original 1991 graphics at any time with a two finger swipe, exactly like you can in the iPhone release of the original The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition [$7.99]. Earlier today, LucasArts dropped the price of the iPhone version of Monkey Island 2 from $7.99 all the way down to 99¢. Here is an excerpt from our review: Monkey Island 2 takes place after the events of the first Monkey Island where wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood is introduced and meets the cast of characters included in the game Read More

Editor’s note: This guest post is written by Alex Ahlund, the former CEO and founder of AppVee and AndroidApps, which were acquired by mobile application directory Appolicious. About this time last year, he gave us his picks of the best iPhone apps of 2009 up until then, so we thought we’d make it an annual tradition. I’ve been involved in the iPhone app industry since it first began in 2008 and I have to say that it has come a long way. I’ve seen it grow from a meager launch of 500 applications in the App Store to currently over 225,000. In only two years, the industry has matured at hyperspeed. It spawned an entire ecosystem to support it from a multitude of news and editorial resources to developer engines, promotional services and ancillary niches. With over five billion app downloads and a billion dollars at stake, it’s no surprise that Read More

Monkey Island is hailed as one of the few games in the world that successfully pulls the player in with a truly deep story and a rich world to explore. I cannot agree more and think that it truly is a shining example of gaming done right. Thankfully, Lucas Arts didn’t quit with one game and made sequel to the great adventure. LeChuck’s Revenge is almost every bit as exciting as the first one and now it has been brought over to the iPad. But the developers didn’t stop there. Rather than porting the game over to the device in its original form, the developers completely reworked the art style of the game to provide much more detail and give it a much higher resolution. It looks great and plays even better. I cannot stress how amazing this series is and anyone who likes adventure games, this will easily be one Read More

So who’s ready for another great week of new iPhone / iPad releases?  Me too, but this week wasn’t quite as spectacular as some in the past.  We did get some remastered lovin’ in the form of Monkey Island 2 Special Edition for both iPhone and iPad, and The Last King Of Africa from Benoit Sokal was also released, so adventure game fans have plenty to do.  If you’re into FPSes, there’s a new contender in Archetype that promises intense 5 on 5 combat action.  And for RTS fans there’s The Gravedigger, a quirky new entry that lets you pit a priest and his faithful followers against a disgruntled gravedigger and his legion of the undead. – I’ve been pretty good about being thankful I have an iDevice at all, but it’s games like this that are making me wish I could upgrade.  Xenome sounds like the iPhone’s answer to Fallout or Oblivion, Read More

One of my all-time favorite sequels, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge, was announced to be heading to the iPhone & iPad a couple of months ago, and we even snagged some screenshots of the game’s new look. It looks like the day of the game’s release is finally upon us as the game has not only hit the PC, Xbox Live Arcade, and Playstation Network, but it’s also readily available for your iDevice of choice! Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge Special Edition has you playing as Guybrush Threepwood after he’s defeated ghost pirate LeChuck from his first adventure, The Secret of Monkey Island. Guybrush is off to find the mysterious treasure known as “Big Whoop”, and will attempt to, once again, win back Elaine’s love. Just like with The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, LucasArts did a ton of upgrading to the game. Its graphics now sport and all new Read More

LucasArts leckt Piratenblut im App Store und veröffentlichte in der letzten Nacht das kürzlich überarbeitete Guybrush-Threepwood-Abenteuer “Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge für iPhone und iPad. Fast exakt vor einem Jahr, am 23. Juli 2009, erreichte “The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition” (5.99 €; App Store-Link) die Apple-Plattform. Sehr löblich: Die jetzige Veröffentlichung findet zur gleichen Zeit sowohl seine 10-Zoll iPad-Kundschaft als auch die 3.5-Zoll iPhone-Gemeinde; jeweils mit einer kostenfreien Testversion. Unverständlich: Leider hat es keine ‘Universal’-Anwendung in den App Store geschafft. Obwohl Freunde des ursprünglich 19 Jahre alten Point’n'Click-Abenteuers sicherlich gerne zweimal in den Geldbeutel greifen, lassen sich durch diese Versionsteilung keine Spielstände zwischen den Geräten austauschen. Ebenfalls enttäuschend: Keine Unterstützung für das hochauflösende Retina-Display im iPhone 4. Das iPad schubst für zwei Euro mehr, ein paar affige Pixel mehr über den Bildschirm. Außerdem bekommt man hier den zusätzlichen Audio-Kommentar seiner Entwickler obendrauf. Ansonsten sitzt jeder Bildpunkt dort, Read More

Produttore: LucasArts | Download Via: AppStore | Prezzo: 5,99€ Quanto legno potrebbe rodere un roditore se un roditore potesse rodere il legno? Se questa domanda vi assilla da circa vent’anni ,allora molto probabilmente starete fremendo per acquistare “Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge”, l’ avventura grafica che più di tutte ha saputo rivoluzionare il concetto stesso di videogioco. Graficamente possiamo notare un enorme miglioramento rispetto al primo “The Secret of Monkey Island”: i modelli sono più dettagliati, i colori più vividi e le animazioni decisamente più convincenti. In pratica sembra che tra le due “Special Edition” abbiano mantenuto lo stesso “salto grafico” che ha contraddistinto il passaggio dai due episodi originali. Anche i controlli sono stati rivisti, soprattutto in seguito alle numerose lamentele degli utenti: i modelli di controllo ora sono due, uno di tipo “trackpad” importato dal primo episodio (in cui il nostro dito sposterà un cursore per selezionare Read More

Few games inspire more heartfelt nostalgia than the classic LucasArts adventure games of the late 80's and early 90's. While we've still got our fingers and toes crossed that we'll eventually see similar "special edition" treatments to Maniac Mansion and/or Day of the Tentacle, we couldn't be happier that the Monkey Island series is being re-released with the level of intimate care that we've seen so far both with the previously released The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition [$7.99 / Free], and Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge [iPhone: $7.99 / Free - iPad: $9.99 / Free] which just hit the App Store mere moments ago. Monkey Island 2 takes place after the events of the first Monkey Island where wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood is introduced and meets the cast of characters included in the game as he seeks out the pirate leaders and attempts to prove himself through Read More
