Monkey Island... the fourth one is the worst overall and graphically. The third is the best. Then the first... the second I haven't played. I think the first one looks great for its time. When you consider the limitations I think it looks really nice... not as good as MI3, but still, Secret is a game which is great for its graphics as well as its fantastic gameplay. What do you mean it doesn't look that good? Especially if you like the work in game two, the shots I've seen say that the style is pretty similar... but the first game definitely looks good. Though it's the script that is by far the game's biggest highlight...

What are you guys old women or something? Ever heard of slang before?

Oh I've heard it, but I think the term would be best used for what it was meant for for centuries...

The style was nice, a mixture of Mexican art and a sense of those old detective movies (think what Cowboy Bebop is obviously based off of). Not only is that what they were going for, they actually succeeded in it .

I agree, interaction is always good. More always is better, even in the sense of adding lots of false leads in puzzle adventure games . Syberia is still very fun though. Just NEVER cave and check an FAQ for the answer though. That defeats the whole point

I always cave and use FAQs in adventure games. Every time. Ah well, they are still fun... though I think that that's a big part of why I beat Secret of Monkey Island in about three days. :D


Here's another one I've always liked a lot. Rayman 2. Not the best quality screenshots certainly, but better than nothing...





Here we go, Grim. Such great backgrounds! Perfect execution of a cross of a detective style and Mexican artwork and design...
