E3 2009 - Awesome news from the biggest event in video games!
Well I don't know about you but so far I have been very happy with the news from E3. Remakes of two of my favourite games of all time and lot's of great new games coming soon.
Perfect Dark is coming to XBLA in glorious high definition and I can only imagine with full support for online co-op and multiplayer! No screens or footage yet but I'll post when there is, there is a free (and awesome) theme on XBL though!
Also The Secret of Monkey Island : Special Edition was announced for XBLA. A high definition remake of the first episode of the classic Monkey Island series from Lucasarts, probably the greatest point-and-click adventures ever made.
And to top it off, a true sequel to the Monkey Island series on the form of an episodic game from Telltale Games (ex-Lucasarts and includes many ex-Monkey Island creators) who brought us Sam and Max Seasons 1 & 2. Monkey Island games have always been presented as multipart stories anyway so this is a perfect fit!

I'm excited for all of these. and to top it off Sam & max season 1 hits the xbla next week. The adventure game Genre is back baby.
Yeah very excited! Playing though Escape from Monkey Island to get in the mood. Just finished Curse of Monkey Island too.
Happy about Sam & Max too because I got it for Wii and it kept skipping at voice sections, think my Wii DVD drive is on the fritz. Will look way better on XBLA too.
