We review the final installment in season one of Telltale Games' Tales of Monkey Island. While Rise of the Pirate God is a fairly solid episode in itself, the season as a whole has failed to live up to expectations in my opinion.

I guess Tales of Monkey Island isn’t particularly bad, per se, it’s just I’d like to see something new out of the characters which have been in existence for almost twenty years now. Good or bad, it wouldn’t matter. Even the so-called “golden age” of Carribean piracy only lasted thirty years, so when are we going to see Guybrush tackle a new adventure? Because while I’ll play anything new with the Monkey Island name on it, it will only be in respect to the original game until someone with the guts gives us something new for the series.
