talk-like-a-pirate-day posts

Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day where everyone is expected to join in and say stuff like "matey" with a straight face. It's also the time for some good PC games to get some price cuts. After we had posted up our sales for the current weekend on Friday afternoon, developer Telltale Games sent over word of an extra special sales offer.

From now until Monday you can get their five chapter adventure game Tales of Monkey Island for a mere $4.95 which is less than the normal price for one episode of the game. Keep in mind that LucasArts is also selling the two Monkey Island graphical remakes for 50 percent off this weekend.

As promised, Telltale Games and LucasArts has made the first full chapter in their hit five part episodic adventure game Tales of Monkey Island available for free in celebration of tomorrow's Talk like a Pirate Day. The episode, Launch of the Screaming Narwal, will only be available for free until midnight PT Saturday (that's 3 am ET Sunday).

You can check out what we thought of the episode when it was first released in our review of the chapter. The second episode, The Siege of Spinner Cay, is already released. Telltale and LucasArts plans to release the third chapter, Lair of the Leviathan, on September 29.
