Neck-and-neck with Total Annihilation as the best of the best, Blizzard's StarCraft breaks new ground not in technology or even playability, but in versatility, refinement and creativity. Sporting what is easily one of, if not *the* most involving and original single-player campaigns ever seen, StarCraft may not be cutting edge, but it's incredibly fun and well-designed. And, after seeing the amount of polish that went into the game, there's little doubt about what all the long delays in StarCraft's development were for.

When Blizzard Entertainment, a small game development company out of Irvine, California, released Warcraft, they helped create the new genre of real-time strategy games. When they released Warcraft 2 a short time later, they revolutionized that new genre. Warcraft 2 was a gorgeous and engrossing game of mythical combat between Orcs and Humans. Many still hail it as the greatest real time strategy game of all time. Almost as soon as Warcraft 2 was out the door, Blizzard announced that their next RTS game was already in the works, called StarCraft. After 3 years of development, numerous delays and possibly the most hype ever surrounding a computer game, StarCraft was finally released to stores on April 1st 1998. The wait was over. The question is, was it worth it?

THE CURSE is the third game in LucasArts' brilliant and popular Monkey Island series. Once again Guybrush Threepwood is starring, taking up his dull blade and rapier wit against the nefarious demon-pirate LeChuck.

The five year wait is finally over: The Curse of Monkey Island, the highly anticipated sequel to the amazingly popular Monkey Island series we have all waited for, is finally here!!!

The Curse of Monkey Island is the third in what could only be described as probably one of the best puzzle adventure game series of all time. Like the first two, you will be helping our lovable wanna-be pirate hero GuybrushThreepwood defeat his archenemy the evil zombie pirate LeChuck. If you liked the original Monkey Island games or other Lucas Arts adventure games, like Full Throttle or Sam N Max, then Curse of Monkey Island will satisfy your adventure game needs.
