Murray being back is always a good thing! Mwuahahahaha!!

What about the locations though? Do they return to the islands we 
already know, or do they introduce many locations instead. From what 
I've read so far they do have many returning characters. Now if only 
they would bring back the Lost Welshman!

I don't even get into the menu! My only system here is an almost 6 
years old laptop with onboard graphics. Of course I could buy a new 
computer, but since I hardly ever play games it would be a bit too 
much of an expenditure for just a monkey island.
