Tales of Monkey Island is an episodic point and click adventure game from TellTale Games, makers of similar styled adventures based on other popular properties like Sam & Max, Strong Bad, and Wallace & Gromit. Each episode, which has roughly 4 to 6 hours of gameplay, will be released separately about every month or so, and you can download them at TellTale's Web site.
Similar to other TellTale games, use the mouse to point and click on objects and people to gather clues, talk to others, and collect items you can use to solve the games many wacky puzzles. TellTale's other episodic adventures are fairly self-contained. But since Tales of Monkey Island still makes references and keeps items from past episodes, it's best to start from the first episode this time. One new aspect is the ability to combine items to create new ones to help crack the riddles. By clicking and dragging two items from your inventory into circles and pressing the 'combine' button, you might be able to use two things at once.
Dan McKenney – Lair of the Leviathan is the third episode in the five-part Tales of Monkey Island series. We’re at the point in time where you have probably already formulated your own opinion on the series, and you’ve either forked over $34.95…or you haven’t. Like I once said in a review of Telltale’s “The Bogey Man”, you’re probably reading out of curiosity. But maybe, just maybe, you’re reading because you have been on the fence about Telltale’s take on Monkey Island, and you don’t think it’s too late to jump in.
Get some classic point and click action for super cheap thanks to pirates and silly sales.
