Monkey Island 2 SE To Be Completely Free On Xbox One and 360 During February.

monkey island 2 free on xbox

I am a huge fan of the adventures of Guybrush Threepwood.  I still think the Monkey Island games from Lucasarts are some of the finest adventure games ever to grace a computer or indeed a console.

stan monkey island gifSpeaking of consoles, if you're an owner of an Xbox One or 360 and have a gold membership then Monkey Island 2 The Special Edition is
free, yes free!  No this is not Stan trying to sell you something second hand but informing you of a totally free game thanks to Microsoft's Games with Gold promotion.

The offer runs from February 1st to the 15th so don't miss out on being able to go up against LeChuck for the grand old price of nothing.  Featuring the old game and of course the mastered edition with updated graphics, music and sound.  If you've never experienced a Lucasarts' Point n' Click adventure game before now is your chance.  Be warned, they are addictive.  Make sure you have a few hours spare.

Here's a video going behind the scenes of the special edition version along with plenty of game footage to whet your appetite.

I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in  Raiders of the Lost Ark ?  It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark.  Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming.  I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com  and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA.  This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise. Earlier this month it announced a joint venture with a Chinese media group, potentially giving it access to the fast-growing Chinese market. Read the full article here.
