I think I finished this at least 3 times on my C64. Just by hearing the revamped MI theme it brings tears of joy to my eyes... ahh the memories!

Oh I hope this is a preview of things to come... those old Lucas games were amazing and Monkey Island was one of my favorites (along with Loom). I'd be awesome if we could get some old Sierra Online games like King's Quest and Quest for Glory action on XBL Arcade as well.

There are massive download problems in Germany in the XBL market place. I am not the only one who had to wait about a half day for monkey island to finish the download. I couldn't play 1 vs. 100 because my Xbox took the complete 2 hours to download that 30 MB.

it says 32000 on the leaderboards, is that enough sales for Monkey Island 2?

Wow they've really done an amazing job with this conversion. This should melt the heart of any console-hating old PC geezer on a big screen, quality setup, comfy sofa... I hope other PC non-fps non-3d classics get the same treatment, but of course it costs hundreds of thousands to do quality work like this so its unlikely.

So looking forward to playing this again. What are the chances they'll bring The Dig to the Live Arcade? I've been tempted to get it off Steam.

Played through it in HD SE mode, and now going for a speed run in classic mode. Awesome game, and even better than I remembered it.

Its possible to finish it in 90 mins if you do a speedrun.. but then the game gets boring and you miss out alot.

It takes 6 hours or so i guess...

L0rN: Why is the DLC for Mirrors Edge free on the PS3 and we have to pay 10 Bucks?

I have both 360 and PS3.. But i bought it oon PS3 for 2 reasons. Better suited shoulder buttons for this kind of game, and sharper GFX. And lately.. Free DLC. :)

80% of all multiplatform games is best suited for 360 thou, but there is some exceptions.

I wont even start to tell you how much Unreal Tournament 3 sucks on 360 compared to PS3. That list is long.

But most other games is best on Xbox 360.

I bought it last night. Quick question how long is the average play time? Seems like its going to be a long game becuase the hour I played it was just a bunch of talking and not much got done it seems.

I had to get this for 800 points. If it were 1200 there wouldn't have been a chance!
