The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition updates the classic LucasArts adventure game with the high-definition graphical updates you demand, but also offers the original old-school visuals purists go nuts for. New voiceover work, an updated score and un-messed with hilarity makes the 800 Microsoft Points asking price a steal.

Hurrah! Should be coming out on Steam too as LucasArts recently released a whole bunch of their stuff on there...

QUOTE

The first round of releases will hit Steam on July 8 and includes these titles:

• Armed and Dangerous
• Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
• Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure
• LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventure
• LOOM
• Star Wars Battlefront II
• Star Wars Republic Commando
• Star Wars Starfighter
• The Dig
• Thrillville: Off the Rails

Hurrah x2! There's also the first episode of the new Monkey Island episodes out on there, which are also great, so go buy them now, you stupid jerks.

Any other fans of point and click adventures? Besides TUN35.

Yeah, updated graphics and full voice acting! Its pretty great, can instantly swap between the two views(updated/original) so you can see how different/close they look. Can just leave it with the oldschool graphics as well if you're into that.
