After an extended hiatus, the bumbling buccaneer Guybrush Threepwood returns to gamers in this first entry of a five-chapter series from the episodic adventure specialists at Telltale Games. Players once again guide the "mighty pirate" Threepwood though a series of comical misadventures as he squares off against his nemesis LeChuck in an attempt to save his wife Elaine. Unfortunately, when stripping LeChuck of his powers, Guybrush inadvertently unleashes a voodoo curse that transforms pirates into zombie-like monsters. "Launch of the Screaming Narwhal" finds gamers washed up on the shore of Flotsam Island, where they must cobble together a ship and a crew in order to sail off in search of the legendary La Esponja Grande, a sea sponge with voodoo-eliminating powers. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
