Now, I'm sure a few of you young kids will be going "Whut?", but let me assure you, Grim Fandango is the greatest game ever concieved and is no doubt far superior to any of your puny seventh generation shit.

I am not exaggerating when I say that Grim Fandango has the greatest video game plot ever, in fact, the plot is better than most stuff in the cinema, it has punchy dialogue, and the film noir setting is simply epic.

Also, there was a guy who lived at the bottom of the sea who sung the most incredible song ever.

So anyway, Lucas Arts are all whores for not making another one, because it is one of the most incredible games ever. Discuss.

I was too young to live it, but I can see that it's a pretty good game.

It's the only way out!

Ah, Lucas Arts... You made the best games ever...

But... Alas... Nobody these days really seems to remember you much...

They require action... And can't be bothered with simple character interaction mixed with exploration and puzzle solving...

It was too hard, and a lot of things were nonsensical. I don't think I would have ever finished it without a walkthrough. However, I do agree. Great game. Music was fantastic too.

Oh, have you ever played any of the Guybrush Threepwood games?! Dialogue was hilarious! I even played the first two which were 64 color! Lucas Arts used to be great before they started making only Star Wars games.

It's not their fault. Tim Schafer (aka God) just doesn't do sequels. I've never played Grim Fandango, but I've always wanted to, since I love Psychonauts. Is it kinda rare now?

It was worth a rental back in the day, but now I think it's worth a buy just so you can pass it on.

Fandango and Bioshock remind me of one thing: Games don't have to be games.

And this is why Tim Schafer should be more well known.
