Endsights' Taylor Berthelson takes Telltale Games' new episodic series Tales of Monkey Island with its first chapter: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal. The PC version is reviewed, which releases today directly from Telltale Games.

The review highlights the game's humor, and sees the title as a worthwhile addition to any adventure gamer's library.

Telltale has made its name by offering episodic games of beloved franchises, and they’re continuing that tradition by bringing another episodic series to gamers with Tales of Monkey Island Episode 1: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal, which is based on the cult classic Monkey Island series. This model has worked for other Telltale adventure games, so the question is: Does the Monkey Island revival stay true to the series while still remaining inviting and fresh? The short answer is yes.
