Much like when your mom wiping your face would create a clean spot which meant the rest of your face would be shortly due for a wash, when LucasArts did their high-def remax of the first in the Monkey Island series, you knew that it wouldn’t be long before LeChuck would be back to have his revenge. So here are some screenshots of the special edition of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge, with comparison shots of the original 1991 version of the game.

Tiger returns to the masters, which is the perfect time to open the doors of their online PGA Tour game to the public.

The game is free to play after only a modest install weighing in at a little over 3mb and helps to deliver “the most accessible, authentic and feature-rich golf video game experience available through a web browser”. It marks EA’s continued expansion into microtransaction territory with paid options that provide points that unlock access to unique items and equipment.

An SEC report breaks down GameStop’s new game sales by company and surprisingly 75% of all ‘new product’ sales are down to just 5 companies, which are:

1. Nintendo (23%)
2. Sony (17%)
3. Microsoft (12%)
4. EA (12%)
5. Activision (11%)

Also surprising is that new game sales are actually an impressive 44% of GameStop’s entire sales income, with new hardware and used games both accounting for around 21%.

An interesting spin on historical event, the details in the hidden glyphs suggest a number of historical figures and events tie nicely into the war between the Assassins and Templars and the quest to obtain the pieces of Eden.
