You now have no excuse not to. The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is $2.49 on Steam, today only. $2.49! That is chump change. Especially for one of the greatest adventure games of all time. Buy it.
P.S. Hopefully this is the last post about deals for a while.

What looked to have been the most promising game from Lucasarts seems to have fallen a little short of “classic” status with sub-par gameplay.
Some of the biggest complaints have been surrounding the game’s sometimes outrageous difficulty, immovable camera, and the lack of depth and length of the adventure.
Look for a lot of mixed reviews as more come out.

According to the LucasArts Workshop blog, Lucidity now has a price, and that price is $9.99 or 800 MSpoints. Seems pretty consistent with their pricing when compared to The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition.
There’s also a nice trailer up for the game which you can watch below or in HD at Gametrailers.

For those of you who haven’t heard, you are now able to opt-in for beta testing of Star Wars: The Old Republic. The official site was down for most of yesterday when it was announced, but it seems to be more stable now. To sign up, you have to register for the official community, and then proceed to the My Account section of the site. From there, you will have to enter information like your name and address, and then have their site scan your system for what type of hardware and operating system you are on. Also note that the system scan only works under Firefox and Internet Explorer, as I found out when I tried to sign up using Chrome yesterday when the site was still getting hammered, and by the time I tried it again using Firefox, the site was back to being down.

Check out this footage from the new Hoth level, exclusive to the upcoming Ultimate Sith Editon of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. For those of you with the game, will this exclusive level make you purchase the game again? For those of you without the game, will this exclusive level push you over the edge to buy it?

LucasArts have announced via their Twitter page that all Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games will be made available on Steam and Direct2Drive on September 16. Sounds like all should be interpreted as four games: Star Wars Dark Forces, Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II and the Mysteries of the Sith expansion, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, and Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. No word on pricing but looking at how LucasArts has priced titles on Steam thus far it should be reasonable to expect none of these JK games to cost more than USD$10 dollars.

Above is gameplay footage direct from Lucidity, LucasArts’ newly announced puzzle platformer game. It’s much easier to watch gameplay footage than to describe how this game plays, so definitely give it a watch.

Tonight on Gametrailers TV, LucasArts officially revealed Lucidty, their upcoming original puzzle platformer title to be released on Xbox Live Arcade later this month. The game is described as a puzzle platformer because it looks like a traditional 2D platformer, but you do not directly control the main character, Sofi. Instead, you facilitate her moving through the world by adding objects that she can use to keep moving. Sofi keeps walking regardless of whether you have added objects to the environment or not.
