Playing the 4th episode from the "Tales of Monkey Island Series", "The trial and execution of Guybrush Threepwood".

Wether you like this type of games or not, you really should giove this series a chance. The Telltale guys are the worthy successors to the Sierra/Lucasarts throne. They have an eye for detail, a respect for the originals and they're making what seems to be a classic game.

They give a strange push towards drama in this episode that just shows how talented they are. I know that drama and monkey island seems a weird combo, but it actually works (thanks also to some incredible voice actin by Dominic Armato). The puzzle and graphics are top notch, but seeing one of the iconic characters of my gameplaying youth develop so well is touching.

If only Ragnar Tornquist could do the same with the Longest Journey universe...
