The remastered Monkey Island games are awesome for two reasons: 1) the return of the voice cast from the earlier "talkie" versions, and 2) the ability to switch between the remastered version and the original version in game and on the fly. The only downside to the remastered versions is the overall style. They play a bit like Flash games and the characters stand out a bit from the background. A few creative games notwithstanding, graphical adventures really benefit from old school pixel art.
And, the new Tales of Monkey Island series retains the humor of the original games, but the controls are L-A-M-E. It's the left and right to spin, up to move forward paradigm. Or you hold the mouse button and drag in the direction you want to move. Awful.
