Well, here we are again with the next episode of Tales of Monkey Island. Released this past Friday, The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood continues right where episode 3 left off.
Recall that Guybrush had just escaped from the stomach of a giant manatee and got a hold of La Esponja Grande when out of the blue; Morgan La’Flay betrayed and captured him to return him to the Marquis DeSinge. If you haven’t yet seen my reviews of episodes 1 through 3, you’ll want to check those out first, otherwise, here’s a quick run-through of what you’re going to experience in The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood.

I played Section 8 first at GDC in a beta multiplayer form. The AI for the bots wasn’t all that technical yet and more often than not they wouldn’t fire at me when I shot at them. The game itself looked very nice, with character models and lighting in place, even though it wasn’t in the final form.
I played Section 8 again at E3 and the game had moved from the early stages to a very high intensity multiplayer battle arena. There were more weapons and I was playing a 16 vs 16 match with 8 human players and 8 bots. The combat was more tuned to the FPS scheme and the animations and character models looked a lot better than when I played it at GDC.
Section 8 may be a sleeper hit for the Xbox 360 and PC when it arrives, and while not much has been released about the single player campaign, I can say the multiplayer will not be outdone by it.
When I first started Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Adventures: Fright of the Bumblebees, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Though after playing through the game, I found that Telltale Games understood the license that they acquired and continued the humor and quality that the shorts and movies had.

Telltale Games is releasing their newest episodic game series in the form of Wallace and Gromit. Most people have seen the shorts and possibly the movie, but how does Wallace and Gromit transfer to the gaming universe? Decently well, though small issues here and there can become frustrating.

Some RTS fans might remember World in Conflict passing through their radar in 2007, or news regarding its delayed (though now soon to be released) expansion pack, World in Conflict: Soviet Assualt. Despite some of the larger RTS release titles hogging the main stage that year, like Command and Conquer 3, WIC received some fabulous reviews, awards, and has maintained a loyal fan base ever since. Announced on Thursday, ESL (Electronic Sports League) will be hosting a World Championship tournament for WIC — getting fans ready for the expansion’s supposed release date in March. Read More »
