Watch out
Ranch Rush and
Risk II -- there’s a few new games available on the Amazon
“Game Downloads” channel. Telltale Games recently announced that all five chapters of the
Tales of Monkey Island series are coming to Amazon’s digital download service. The first two chapters --
“Launch of the Screaming Narwhal" and
“The Siege of Spinner Cay" -- can be purchased right now, separately, for the first time since the series was announced.
Both chapters are priced at $8.95, which is a decent chunk of change for the first title if you’ve been wondering what you’ve been missing. (Spoiler alert: it’s a decent series thus far.) As for purchasing all of the chapters at that price, well, it would be smarter to buy the bundle ($34.99) Telltale
is offering.
In the official release, Telltale mentions that the series is its “most successful digital episodic series launch to date.” Good to know that
Monkey Island still sells. Keep ‘em coming LucasArts and Telltale.

Your right on the money with your presumption, DinnertimeNinja. Telltale has always allowed you to purchase each episode individually ever since Season 1 of Sam and Max. Quite frankly, I too was surprised at this change in policy but I can see the logic behind them doing it for the time being. I feel it may having something to do with the "episodes" being far more linear continuations of each other unlike the S&M and SBCG4AP. After playing the first one and part of the second one, buying each episode individually seems like a waste of time and money; it would be akin to buying individual chunks of an addictive mystery novel separately. Sure, you would get the same experience in the long run if you decided to purchase the rest and "read" them in order but you would essentially paying more for the same product.
