Behind You, A Three-Headed Monkey!

Just as we mention about The Secret Of Monkey Island: Special Edition for the PC, and had the thought to just download the game for keeps until we get a PC powerful enough to run the game (and all other games like Starcraft 2, Diablo III, Red Alert 3, Street Fighter 4 and Command & Conquer 4, oh the list goes on and on), the following day we hopped onto the iTunes Store to check for freebies and updates.

...and find The Secret Of Monkey Island: Special Edition as a featured app in the App Store. USD7.99 for 351MB with all the goodness: voice acting, new and old versions, in a custom iPod Touch/iPhone interface. We do wonder why the vast difference between the PC version of USD9.99 for 2.5GB. But still, it wasn't written that the app was only for half of the game or anything, and so it was a spontaneous click on the 'Buy App' button and watching Poirot's 'The Mysterious Affair At Styles' while waiting for it to download.

On the iPod Touch controls are slightly clunky, as we had to slide the cursor wherever we wanted to go and the cursor moves and a unforgivably slow rate, but now that we've gotten used to the controls (our finger doesn't have to be positioned on the cursor to move it wherever we want to, which makes it easier to navigate now!), all we plan to do with the game is enjoy all the voice acting. Insult swordfighting, here we come!

Ayup, found out what was the problem after it was confirmed that the iPod Touch version has voice acting!
