Exception to the rule To reply to TommyFatFingers. I practically never buy games on launch day. I think the last time I did it was whichever Call Of Duty was a decade or so ago (Black Ops 2, maybe?) because the shops always did crazy deals to drag people in, so I probably got it for £25 with my Tesco shop or something.

But there is one game I might just have to make an exception for: Return To Monkey Island.
