The Monkey Island SCUMM Bar: MI5, man

GameSpot is currently running a poll asking In light of Syberia II, which of these adventure series' should get a new installment?, and Monkey Island is obviously one of the choices. At the time of writing it's in third place with 16% of the votes behind Grim Fandango on #1 and Larry on #2. We all know Monkey Island should do better than Larry so go vote now - it's still free!

Syberia II is currently the second most popular game at Gamespot's PC section. How did this franchise get to be so popular? I thought the original sucked!

I haven't actually played Syberia, but I guess it's a good thing that there are some interest in traditional adventures again.

You're right, and I probably shouldn't be so harsh on Syberia until I beat it. It may get better toward the end, so who knows.
I just hope the sequel doesn't have all those nonsensical puzzles and awful voiceacting (English version) that plagued the original.
