It’s already the 4th chapter of five for Tales of Monkey Island’s first season. And to to put a disclaimer right up front, this fourth chapter is the first one I’m playing (Egad, you say, how could I pass up on the three before it? Sorry, it just happened that way).

The story of episode four starts off with all but a few of the inhabitants of Flotsam Island infected with the “Pox of LeChuck.” Guybrush has been captured by pirate hunter Morgan LeFlay and is delivered to the mad scientist Marquis de Singe, who intends to use Guybrush in his experiments for harvesting voodoo powers.

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.
