Now that we're on the last part of the Monkey Island series review, Hannu and I are going to do two game into one; The Escape from Monkey Island and Tales of Monkey Island.

We start with Escape from Monkey Island where it's the biggest change to the series, not because the series made it to 3D, but it abandoned the point-and-click gameplay and focused on key-board interfaced adventure gameplay like Grim Fandango. It's a love or hate thing, but check out weather we like it or not.

Afterwords, we review Tales of Monkey Island where it has been 9 long years without a Monkey Island game, since LucasArts abandoned making anymore adventure games and focused more on Star Wars games, instead the game was developed from Telltale Games who carried on the adventure game genre. Unlike the rest of the Monkey Island games, it's released episodically and returned the point-and-click gameplay.

We all hoped that you enjoyed our reviews on each game of Monkey Island series, be sure check out the latest episode of Boochow and Hannu's YouTube page.
