LucasArts has announced that The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition will be hit both Xbox LIVE Arcade and Steam for PC next week, on July 15.
The enhanced remake of the original PC title, Secret of Monkey Island, features new character art, environments, and supports up to 1080i widescreen resolution. It features a fancy new re-recorded and re-mastered score, a streamlined interface, as well as all-new voice work.
The game will run players on Xbox 360 800 MS Points, which translates to $9.99 on Steam. Who’s thinking about picking this one up?

The first (and only) Monkey Island game I've played was Escape, and I loved it despite it being touted as the worst in the series. I tried playing the others but couldn't because of the dated graphics. Now that problem has been overcome. :)
Typo.
Between this and the Lucas Arts news with Steam makes me very happy today.
I'm genuinely psyched for the new soundtrack.
I saw the announcement posted elsewhere but there was no price announced, I'm glad this is going to be $10, I think that selling it for much more would have been a mistake.
Otherwise, I spend my PC gaming money on GOG.com.
