So now we've got the remake - the same Monkey Island we all know and love in a new suit, tarted up and given funky water effects on the first screen. The first game was equally as superb - if not better - but whatever your own particular persuasion, the fact is that they are both at the very peak of the game development summit.

Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge was the first PC game I ever played and, when you consider how many amazing, genredefining games have been released over the years, it's something that it still remains, without doubt, my favourite game of all time (OK, maybe Doom edges it out, but it's damn close). The Monkey Island series was where it all began for me on the PC.

Seriously, how can I review this game without descending into a fanboy gush-fest of embarrassing proportions? I'll give it a go, but bear with me if I get a bit carried away at certain points.
