madballs1Coming out this Wednesday, two of my favourite aspects of the late 80’s and early 90’s are coming back with titles on Xbox Live Arcade. The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition and Madballs in… Babo Invasion are both going to be unleashed on an unsuspecting public in a couple of days.

The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition originally released in 1990 is back for another go with all new HD graphics, a remastered music score and complete voice work to bring this wacky and entertaining classic into the hearts of a new generation to love, enjoy, and obsess over. Published and developed by LucasArts, this title will run you 800 MS points, is rated E10+ and will have your swashbuckling humor bell a-ringing!

Now, if your like me, you might remember Madballs; Madball toys, Madball cartoons, Madball cardgames… then one day, they all just disapeared… these small ball like creatures just up and left our planet. Well, they’re back, and they’re taking the world by storm. With the ability to play solo, 4 player online co-op, or 16 player battle arenas, Madballs will bring you back to your youth and not question why these balls are so mad. Complete with map creation and the ability to use your Xbox live avatar, Madballs in… Babo Invasion will cost you 1200 MS points and is also rated E10+.
