The International House of Mojo

	Ghoul Patrol Mojo continues to review old LucasArts games that it should have years ago as they get re-released on the Virtual Console. This time around the game is Ghoul Patrol, the completely unknown sequel to the relatively unknown Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Grab your crossbow and "random" potion and patrol our opinion within!
	Tales of Monkey Island Ch. 5 Telltale's explosive finale to their Monkey Island season of games. If you've played all the previous episodes, you'll be simply dying to know what happens next...
	Greatest Adventures The first three Indiana Jones movies were made into one super-whizzy game. Retro fun awaits the intrepid adventurer who braves its side-scrolling gameplay of doom.
	CSI: Deadly Intent The latest C.S.I. based game from Telltale is based in Las Vegas. The city's slogan is "prepare to be lowered into the depths of Hell."
	Zombies Ate My Neighbors In 2009, Zombies was re-released in a "virtual console," making the '93 classic playable on modern computers. In celebration of this fact we travelled back in time to 1993 to find out more.
	Tales of Monkey Island Ch. 4 The penultimate Monkey Island episode, and the most controversial one in terms of splitting people's opinion.
	Brütal Legend In 1983 Tim Schafer made a pact with the devil: in exchange for awesome game making skills, Lord Satan would require one game made in his honour. That game was Psychonauts.
	Lucidity LucasArt's first internally developed original game for a long, long time: but is it any good?
	Tales of Monkey Island Ch. 3 We dig into the third Monkey Island episode as if it were moist sponge cake... or to use a different analogy, as if it were buried treasure. How apposite.
	Grim Fandango The world is divided into two parts: those who know Grim Fandango to be one of the best games ever made, and those who are yet to play it. In our review and augmented miscellanea, we raise a glass to the game and her developers. "Cheers!"
	Tales of Monkey Island Ch.2 The second part of Telltale's Monkey Island game.
	SOMI SE Soundtrack What do you get when you record new versions of the twenty year old Secret of Monkey Island soundtrack? The answer is love, peace and happiness.
	Wallace and Gromit: Ep. 3 We take a bite out of the third W&G game from Telltale.
	Sam & Max Save the World A review of Sam & Max's Xbox debut.
	The Staff of Kings The oft-delayed much-hyped Indiana Jones game, released a year after the fourth film. Was it worth the wait? Do people still care? Find out inside!
	The Curse of Monkey Island It's hard to imagine anything following Monkey Island 2 and not looking like a complete embarrassment: but this game manages it. Oozing with more atmosphere than a panicked squid that has atmosphere in its tentacles instead of ink, and full of artwork than can only be called "gorgeous," CMI is certainly a beloved classic in the LucasArts pantheon. Click within for a behind-the-scenes tidbits and more.
	Wallace and Gromit Ep. 2 The man and dog team attempt to bring the mountain to Muhammad... or something. Part of our thrilling "Wallace and Gromit reviews" series.
	Strong Bad After Sam & Max Season Two, the fiery eye of Telltale turned its gaze to the Homestar Runner universe of popular web cartoons, focusing on the character of Strong Bad. Whilst getting unreservedly positive reviews from across the board, some LucasArts type fans responded to this series without much enthusiasm. In true Mix’n’mojo fashion, we leap in several years too late and become very opinionated and unreliable. Score!
	Wallace and Gromit Ep. 1 Telltale's latest episodic franchise is based on the world famous man and dog team from Lancashire. We investigate further!
	The Dig Science Fiction and Steven Spielberg; a mysterious force on an asteroid; sex guns, and explosions... find out more about this, the most stellar and cinematic adventure game ever made, in our stellar and cinematic Secret History article! Featuring a retrospective review, trivia titbits, and notes from the developers.
	Full Throttle The dystopian post-apocolyptic riding game from the genius mind of Tim Schafer. Fast bikes, tough women and lots of asphalt. In our Secret History article, we look under the hood of this beloved game and try to see how it ticks. Strap yourself in and feel the cheese!
	Sam & Max: Hit The Road The original, and some would say the best, game starring Steve Purcell’s comic creation. Hit the Road is famous for spawning the controversially cancelled sequel, and Telltale's run of episodic games –- but the original game itself is often forgotten. As a new generation of games are introduced to Telltale's Sam & Max games, why not go back to the original, and see how LucasArts handled the franchise?
	A Vampyre Story The much hyped and hotly anticipated adventure game from LucasArts’ child company Autum Moon, designed by Bill Tiller (of Curse of Monkey Island background art fame), and featuring more vampires than you can shake your willy at. The question is, was it worth the wait? Does it, as some were hoping, present a return to the classic adventure game in 2008?
	Rouge Leaders Discover the history of the greatest game development studio of the 1990s, and marvel at the pages of never seen before concept art for all your favourite games. Rouge Traders is THE book for the history of LucasArts, at least until a better comes out.
	Star Wars: The Force Unleashed The much hyped "return to diamond form" for Star Wars games, turns out to be "mostly fine." It's neither a slap in the rogers, nor a sexy weekend in France. It's somewhere in the middle.
	Day of the Tentacle We go back in time and look at Day of the Tentacle, the semi-sequel to Maniac Mansion, and the only game that allows you to kick George Washington in the fanny. This article forms another darling gem from our "LucasArts Secret History" series.
	The Fate of Atlantis Probably the best Indiana Jones game ever made, and arguably better than a hot date with a Harrison Ford lookalike! In our LucasArts Secret History monthly wankathon, we look at all the top secret behind the scenes details in this grand adventure game. It's also a review.
	Star Wars: Clone Wars It's hard to get excited about this, a spin-off movie that nobody asked for or wanted. It has been accused of being a superfluous trailer for the animated TV series, which is probably more than 50% correct. Perhaps, though, somebody might favour this underdog. Is there room in our hearts for one more movie?
	Monkey Island 2 How do you follow up the success of a legendary adventure game? You make a sequel.
	The Secret of Monkey Island The first Monkey Island game is more famous than Grog, and almost certainly bigger than Jesus (at least to some people) â€“ and deserves to be, as anyone who has played the game will most likely agree. This classic peice of gaming history gets a thoroughly classic slice of Secret LucasArtsâ€™ history. Now bring me that horizon (and more slaw)!
	Lego Indiana Jones It's Indiana Jones... but this time he's in Lego... in a video game! Read on to find out if this game is worth anybody's time. Or don't!
	Loom Loom: the game that everybody has heard of but few have actually played. Some people still think that it is only a joke in Monkey Island 1, and doesn't actually exist as its own game. Well they're wrong! Find out more about this underplayed game in the connected article.
	Indiana Jones Reviewed A review of each of the Indiana Jones films, climaxing with a review of Kingdom of the Demonic Skull. The pressure, speaking personally, is quite intense.
	The Last Crusade We survey the game of the film: is it any good? Does it produce happy memories? What does Ron Gilbert think of it? What interesting trivia is there to be found? This article answers all those questions, and more. A review for anyone who thinks that Harrison Ford is a type of car.
	Sam & Max Season Two Telltale Games followed up their first Sam & Max based season with another batch of episodes, this time focusing more on variety and exciting new locales to explore. Travel the universe through time and space, or sit at home and eat soup. The choice is yours!
	Insecticide DS Review From the makers of Curse of Monkey Island comes a combination of action-platformer and adventure game in the form of Insecticide.
	Zak McKracken A thorough look back at LucasArts' follow up to Maniac Mansion, including developer reflections, trivia, and comments from random bums off of the street. A must read for anyone who thinks the squirrels are evil.
	Maniac Mansion The first part of our "LucasArt's Secret History" article series, which involves a good long stare into the abyss. And the abyss looks back! Read everything you would ever want to read about Maniac Mansion, and more: reviews, trivia, features and exclusive behind the scenes knowledge from the game's designers!
	Lego Star Wars: Complete Saga A look at the bundled release of Lego Star Wars 1 (the prequels) and Lego Star Wars 2 (the original trilogy), as played on the Wii. Is Darth Vader still scary in lego form? Are lightsabers really that awesome on the Wii controller? Why are we all so old, all of a sudden? Where did my childhood go?
	Sam & Max Season One After Sam & Max 2 was cancelled by LucasArts, a number of renegade game mechanics broke free and formed Screw You, Assholes -- later renamed Telltale Games. A short while later, they released their own Sam & Max game.
	CSI: Hard Evidence Telltale Games, A.K.A LucasArts 2.0, publish their latest game baby based on the illustrious Crime Scene Investigation TV series. Here?s a fact for you: there?s only been one murder associated with The International House of Mojo, and in Spaff?s defense, the person was being a bit of a prick.
	Sam & Max Soundtrack The first soundtrack was invented in Ancient Greece by the great thinker Archimedes, but he merely used it at symposiums to carry wine. It took the might of the Roman Empire to put the soundtrack to its true use: to play music. "Ade vencini decorium elevenus" were the famous words of Emperor Latius. A rough translation reads: "turn it up to 11, dammit."
	Emperor's Tomb Chris "The Tingler" Cappel journeys into the heart of China to review Indina Jones and the Emperor's Tomb. Did LucasArts do things right? Is the game historically and culturally accurate? Find out the answers to some of those questions within!
	Pirates of the Caribbean A look at the three Pirates films, with numerous comparisons to the Monkey Island series.
	CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder Telltale released their CSI game, and Mojo readers didn?t get too excited. It is, however, a genuinely good game, and one that comes recommended, even for people who haven?t seen the TV series. You see more, please.
	The Great Cow Race Bone: The Great Cow Race takes the Bone series the right direction. Which is great.
	Out From Boneville Bone: Out From Boneville is a strange enough game to warrant something more than a standard review. That is why we went with a crazy rant instead.
	Fate of Atlantis The last official Indiana Jones adventure game ever gets an official Mixnmojo looking to. The question is, does this sort of thing still cut the mustard now that we're living on the moon with robot slaves in the wondrous 21st century?
	Infernal Machine We take a look at LucasArt's action adventure Indy-em-up back from the dying days of the last millennium. What was life like back in the 90s? Were boy bands ever really that popular?
	The Star Wars Films What happens when you drink 17 cups of tea in one go? Most people go on a killing spree and end up getting strangled by a paedophile, but Gabez wrote six Star Wars reviews instead. Six Star Wars reviews for Six Star Wars films. In retrospect and reference to the prequels. You do the math.
	Lego Star Wars We take a look at the latest in game concepts - take Lego, the Danish brick with a thousand uses, and Star Wars, the well loved if oft-abused franchise, add in some platform adventure gameplay and a whole load of fun and bake in the oven for forty minutes. What?s the result of all this? A nice big cake. A nice big cake of Lego Star Wars. Read on to find out more...
	Episode III: the game You've seen the movie, now play the game! In this 3D platform lightsaber-em-up LucasArts, or at least, The Collective, aim to cash in on the film and entertain you at the same time. That?s the plan, anyway - did it work out, or is this just another excuse for Lucas to print money? Find out in our review!
	Psychonauts Psychonauts is, for those of you who have Googled their way in here for the first time, the latest game from Double Fine, Tim Schafer's post-Grim Fandango company. It's an action/adventure that combines elements from classic graphic adventures with platform games, while also throwing a bunch of other genres in to the mix for good measure.
	Telltale Texas Hold'em Telltale Texas Hold'em is exactly what it sounds like. It's a card game -- Texas Hold'em -- from recently established adventure house Telltale Games. But "WTF?" you type angrily. You're right, it's not an adventure game. It's a character driven, single-player PC poker game, built with the Telltale engine. Telltale Texas Hold'em stars four computer-controlled opponents, each one with different playing styles and personality traits.
	Secret Weapons Over Normandy Our own Metallus takes a look at Secret Weapons Over Normandy, the first LucasArts WWII flight combat game for a very long time. We suggest checking it out. What? Oh, the review, and probably the game too. Check them both out.
	Armed & Dangerous Planet Moon and LucasArts got together to make a highly fun and hilarious shooter. With a style reminiscent of LucasArts of yesteryear, Armed and Dangerous is an excellent game.
	Jedi Academy For one of the first (and probably last) times ever, we got an actual Star Wars gamer to review a Star Wars game. Despite being blinded by years of fandom and merchandise lust, Boba Rhett was still able to find a couple things to grumble about. All in all, he likes the game, though.
	Jedi Knight II To say that this game was wildly anticipated is quite the understatement. Ever since Mojo had the pleasure of viewing this game first hand at E3 last May, we could tell this game was going to be fun. Now, almost a year later, Dark Forces III: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast has hit the store shelves, but have the high expectations of the fans been met? Oh yes.
	Ode to the Stuff in the Sink Dave Grossman, co-writer of Monkey Island 1 and 2, co-designer of Day of the Tentacle, and author of numerous childrens books and adventure games, has written a book! The book? Ode to the Stuff in the Sink: a book of guy poetry. Is it good? Well, here's a hint: one of the poems is titled "Is That Your Shirt Or Did A Clown Throw Up On You?" You must buy this book today! No, first read the review, then buy the book.
	Jedi Star Fighter Not so long ago, Star Wars Starfighter made its debut on the PlayStation 2 as an impressive action game to showcase the power of a new console. Although the game had its shortcomings, it was generally considered quite a success. Now LucasArts has utilized this success to create a sequel, Jedi Starfighter. Does this sequel merely rehash the elements of the first game, or does it expand on them to create a new and interesting game? The answer is mixed, but the end result still works well.
