What do huge manatees, mutinous crews, and voodoo curses all have in common? The third installment of Tales of Monkey Island: Lair of Leviathan!

In the last episode, our hero Guy Brush and his ship were swallowed whole by an insanely large manatee. Once inside, Guy Brush finds out that the explorer (who is now a bit loopy) he has been looking for was also swallowed intentionally by the beast so that he could it to get to Le Sponge Egrande, which happens to be at the manatee mating ground.

Guy Brush will need the help of the explorers mutinous crew (who would prefer to just live in the manatee forever), to escape the beast, and eventually get to the sponge. But that’s not all; you also have to learn to speak manatee to seduce the rather vicious Leviathan: a large, angry, female manatee that guards the sponge.

Many of us are anxious for the new release of A Boy and His Blob by Majesco Entertainment Company. It’s been almost 20 years since the last game came out and we can’t stand waiting much longer.

In dedication to the October 6, 2009, release of the game, Majesco is declaring October “Blob Month.” Each week prior to the game’s availability starting September 24, 2009, the company will be releasing new screen shots, videos and concept art for the new game. (True, the game comes out at the beginning of the month but “Blob Week” isn’t nearly as impressive as “Blob Month”). I assume they will stop being released when the game comes out on October 6, 2009 (it wasn’t stated).

Well dear readers, I have just dealt with the tragedy that many Xbox 360 users have dealt with, the dreaded Red Ring of Death (ie when your 360 suddenly stops working altogether and you see three fed lights around the power button).

There is seemingly little you can do except send it to Microsoft for repairs (assuming the warranty is still good) or buy a new one and hope the same thing doesn’t happen.

Ahoy me pirate mateys! It’s time for Monkey Island. That’s right, Telltale games has released a new series of adventure games based on the Monkey Island series from Lucasarts with Tales of Monkey Island: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal as the first part.

This series is a bit different from the way you are use to playing the Telltale games. Each of the four games makes up part of one whole game. Each game will end in a cliffhanger and a “to be continued” screen, so you need to play the next one in order to find out how it turned out.
