Review – Tales from Monkey Island: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal

Why yes, that is a really long title for a game.  But, you wouldn’t expect anything different from a Monkey Island game would you? No, I didn’t think so. Launch of the Screaming Narwhal is the first of five new episodic adventures in the Monkey Island series released by TellTale Games. With the first one, Launch of the Screaming Narwhal we once again meet up with Guybrush Threepwood and figure out exactly what sort of trouble he’s gotten himself into this time.  There’s some familiar faces, Elaine Marley, Guybrush’s wife of some years now, Voodoo Lady, and of course, LeChuck, voodoo undead evil pirate.  One of the nice things about this installment is that many of the same names that’ve been attatched to Monkey Island games over the years at Lucas Arts are the same ones now involved at TellTale.  So the music, the voices, and the story all have
