This is pretty much a no brainer for me.  A must buy for sure.

This video was posted a week ago.  Someone needs to keep an eye on the double posting of videos.  AVP is another one that got posted twice.

Such an insane amount of nostalgia and memories. I´ve spilled so much praise about this whole MI revival since E3 now that I´m realkly out of words now. This is gaming history guys.. the best there is.

I was hoping for a DS version - but I'll take what I can get.  I've been playing the original games on my Mac using ScummVM.  Originally played them on my super expensive 386dx back in the day.

I agree, very bizarre choices of platforms.  Both should be for 360, PS3, Wii, and PC

I might get this.
I've been spoiled with fantastic graphics all through my teen year's and onward's (I'm 22 now so you do the math...) and I've allways completely ignored the first 2 Monkey Island games.
But now I've changed my mind, I look forward to getting this.
