LucasArts confirms MI2 special edition by Mark Langshaw

No, not that M:I-2, but the inestimably better Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.

Following in the footsteps of last year's The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition, the sequel "will be available for PC, Xbox 360, PS3 and iPhone in the summer." Hurrah!

And in related good news, "LucasArts also revealed that The Secret Of Monkey Island Special Edition is bound for PSN and Mac OS". Couldn't give a monkeys about PSN (in fact, I'd not even heard of it before -- fyi, it's a PS3 thing), but Mac OS is good -- no need to run a bloody PC emulator or try to play it on my iPhone. Double yay! It can be pre-ordered (exclusively -- and, irritatingly, only in the US) here.
