Two months ago, Telltale Games launched Tales of Monkey Island, the new episodic adventure for Guybrush Threepwood, the pirate hero from the classic Monkey Island franchise. Designed to be part of a larger story instead of an individual stand alone game, the Tales of Monkey Island episodes have followed Guybrush, Elaine, LeChuck and the newly introduced Morgan LeFlay through their newest mishaps around the Caribbean. The latest episode, entitled Lair of the Leviathan, is scheduled to be released on September 29 for the PC, with a later release for the Wii. From what I was told, Leviathan will have the most variety for the game environments of all the previous chapters. It will also introduce both Guybrush and Morgan to some rather unique situations that they couldn't even imagine.
n case you haven't been caught up on the Tales plot so far, allow me to give you a quick summary of the past two episodes. At the start of Launch of the Screaming Narwhal, Guybrush tries to find a way to kill LeChuck. While he eventually manages to discover a way to defeat him, he gets infected with a magical disease, which is soon spread around the Caribbean. The Voodoo Lady, Guybrush's old advisor, sends him in search of La Esponja Grande, an artifact that could absorb the disease before it spreads to the rest of the world. As Guybrush goes in search of the giant sponge, he finds himself in battle with Morgan LeFlay, a pirate hunter and Guybrush's biggest fan. As Guybrush is cornered by Morgan during the duel, the ship they're on is swallowed whole by a giant manatee, forcing them to seek a way out of the creature.
