Monkey Islands join UK with Special Edition Collection release

So, did you hear about the big new LucasArts re-release? No no, not THAT re-release. Right up there with Star Wars on Blu-Ray is the launch of Monkey Island Special Edition Collection in the UK.

If you've been stranded on a deserted island the last few years, the revamped Special Edition updates of The Secret of Monkey Island and LeChuck's Revenge include full voiceovers, a remastered musical score, and an in-depth hint system, along with all-new HD graphics and the option to switch back and forth with the classic older versions at any time.

While the downloadable versions of both games have been available for some time now, the Monkey Island Special Edition Collection marks the first time the games have been bundled together and released on disc. Currently available only in the UK, the bundle is retailing now for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
