    Classic adventure fans and newbies to the genre alike will fall in love with the brilliance of Monkey Island at what many would call its peak. One of the best games of all time is magically even better.

    If there's a game on this week's list that I'm going to put the most time into revisiting and replaying, it's this one.

    It's one of the best games available for the system. Don't bother with anything else - just sit back, relax, and keep an eye out for three-headed monkeys.
