LucasArts just announced Monkey Island 2 Special Edition. Similar to last year\’s Monkey Island Special Edition, LeChuck\’s revenge has new hand drawn artwork, re-mastered music and voice over.

Looks like they fixed Guybrush\’s weird hair too, that was bugging me.

The trailer for Tron Legacy was just released. Looks badass.
