Will Skyward Sword Come Out in January, 2011?

My friend Jeremy sent me a message on Facebook. Evidently Walmart is showing that Skyward Sword will ship on January 31st, 2011 if you pre-order.  Huzzah!

Or....will it? Best Buy has a release date of 1/1/2011.  Amazon still doesn't list one, nor does Gamestop. A site called AlternativeDVD says 12/27/10. I'm cornfuzzled.

Sigh.  I'm so anxious to play this game with my boyfriend - we played Twilight Princess for the Wii over the past few months.

When do you think that Skyward Sword will finally come out?

Arrrrrrr - Full Tales of Monkey Island Only $4.95

One of the games I grew up playing was Monkey Island. There were several different versions that were all very clever and punny.  You were the swashbucklin' Guybrush Threepwood, and wanted to be a Mighty Pirate.  Sometimes you would have to create Rube Goldberg-esque combinations to accomplish your objectives.  You might have also found yourself trading insults as part of a duel.  All in all, it resides in my list of the best games EVER.

This Sunday (Sept 19th) is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.  In honor of this momentous occasion, Telltale Games is offering the full 5-episode copy of the latest incarnation - Tales of Monkey Island - for only $4.95.  Shiver me timbers, that's an awesome deal!  I've been holding out until I could afford it, and it looks like that time has arrived.

This deal only goes through the 20th, so act fast!  Buy Tales of Monkey Island for $4.95
