Hey, kids! Time to put that iPhone (or iPod Touch!) to good use, as Lucasarts have just released the rather excellent The Secret of Monkey Island: Special edition for Apple's handhelds.
As you can see, in visual terms it's not a bad downgrade of the gorgeous PC/360 version. As far as gameplay goes... I haven't played it (come on, I only just finished the PC version!), but it looks fairly straight-forward: finger moves cursor, and the buttons down the button handle interaction and inventory.
If you're interested, it'll cost you $US8.

It's actually AU$9.99.
This is a post from the US Kotaku I'd say :)
Hating the control system, cursor is laggy and unprecise.
Other than that... great to see it on the iPhone.
cursor is kind of annoying, but ill get used to it :P
Dammit, cannot decide whether to get it as i only just purchased it on Live
One of the problems with the cnrreut game media is that there is too little follow-up on games once they're released. There's plenty of speculation leading up to a release, but once a game is on store shelves it's as though it doesn't exist.It's really very enjoyable to talk about games you're cnrreutly playing, and reading about them in the news. You invest a little of yourself in the game, and it becomes a part of your social identity. The media should be backing us up by talking about the games when *we* want to talk about them too.Anyway, I'd hope that episodic games would help with this every so often there'd be a new chapter/issue to make the news.
