One of the games I have anxiously been awaiting to play is The Cave, the new adventure game from Double Fine Studios and industry legend Ron Gilbert, who created [amazon_link id=”B00642R92A” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Monkey Island[/amazon_link]. Now the wait is almost over because it has been announced that The Cave will be released on January 22nd on the Nintendo eShop for Wii U and Playstation Network and January 23rd on Xbox Live.

The Cave is a side-scrolling adventure where you pick three characters from a cast of seven (much like Maniac Mansion) and make your way through a magical cave using all three members of your party to solve the puzzles within.

The Cave will cost 1200 MS Points or $14.99 depending on your platform.
