[Telltale is making new, episodic, Monkey Island games][link] using the same engine as their [Wallace and Gromit][wallace], [Sam & Max][sm], and [Strong Band’s Cool Game For Attractive People][sbcg] series. The question is: How will they stack up without the writing of Tim Schafer?

If you buy stuff from Telltale, [use this link][kick] and I get a small kickback.
