A brilliant game but I dont see the point if you have already played it? If you know the puzzles it would seem pointless to me to play it again.

You could say that about all story driven games, films, or books.

I rarely read the same book twice. Not sure about story games, if it's something like dead space then the weapons or taking down the enemies can be different but with something like MI you are going the exact same thing with no difference if you have played it before.

I still remember the puzzles so it would require little interaction. I reckon people these days won't have the patience to not just look at a guide after 5 minutes being stuck

Awesome games, some of the best I've played but I don't see the worth in any replay. The challenge and joy for me was working out the puzzles.

I think I still have 800 points I was saving for Duke Nukem but never got round to buying it. So... yoink!

Just finished the first chapter of the new Tales of Monkey Island too - some very funny bits but maybe slightly too easy on the whole. I'm also slightly disappointed that there's not so many things to interact with, although the Voodoo Lady's hut had a good array of red herring bits and bobs to look at and chuckle over. Overall a good continuation so far, and the graphics are pretty nice too. I especially like the zooming effects when you go to the main menu, or when you leave an area and it zips to the island map. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Been out at the cinema, is this out yet? I couldn't see it?

Yeah it is. Iirc you have to look under Action and Adventure to find it at the moment.

Purchased earlier. Just need to get home to download it. I honestly thought it would be 1200 points. 800 is a bargain!

I played my way through the first chapter last night. It looks excellent. Very well drawn. I'm not too fond of the voice acting though. Guybrush especially sounds very boring. I could live without it and just have the text instead. Still worth 800 points.

The guy who played Guybrush is the same guy they've had doing him in the past. He sounds a little like Matthew Broderick.
