Telltale Inc. is bringing its lineup of games to Mac starting today with their much-loved pirate adventure Tales of Monkey Island, a title praised by OC Weekly as the "Best Series Revival" of the year and included in "Top Games of 2009" roundups by PALGN, Parenthood.com, About.com, and Gamasutra. In their review of Tales of Monkey Island, Gamespot called the series "... a lengthy adventure that's easy to enjoy and easy on your wallet, sure to please both newcomers and veteran insult swordfighters alike."

Which title appears on Apple's platform next is up to the people. Telltale is opening the ballot box at www.telltalegames.com/macgames where Mac devotees can cast their vote for one of three critically-acclaimed series: Sam & Max, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, or Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures. Polls are open until Feb. 21, with the winning game announced the following week and launched on Mac in March.

"Telltale's built up an outstanding catalog of content over the years, and we're looking forward to getting the games to this community to further enrich the increasingly growing, vibrant and technically outstanding Mac platform," said Telltale CEO Dan Connors. "We're big fans of Apple's technology and devices, and we're looking forward to building further from here."

New Telltale customers will get both Mac and PC versions of the multi-platform games with a single purchase. Any customers that have bought these titles from Telltale in the past can download the Mac version for no additional charge.
