GameStooge.com takes a look at one of the best, if not THE best, games ever made: Tim Schafer's Grim Fandango.
This should make fans happy. Grim Fandango has been resurrected to hit the turntable once again for the game's 25th anniversary! In partnership with Double Fine Productions and Disney, iam8bit is repressing the fan-favorite Grim Fandango 2xLP Vinyl Soundtrack.
The 1990s were the golden age of point and click narrative adventures, and Grim Fandango was its pinnacle.
Harrison Gowland found his start in adventure games, with a little underrated gem.
Love this game. Still play it every once in a while.
Edit: Great voice acting too.
I don't really like adventure games, because i always find a way to be lost or to not understand how we could mix a box and a branch to make a key, but Grim Fandango was one of the only one i really loved.
The voice acting was awesome but i also loved the background of the game, the "Tim Burton"-esque point of view on life and the general design. It was really fun. I've even wrote a review about this game to be hired in a professional video game site (and i have been hired).
Too bad i didn't have time to finish it, but for sure, Grim Fandango is an incredible experience, and the wedding level in LittleBigPlanet reminded me the game (if i had talent, i would make a LBP level about Grim Fangando, actually).
Grim Fandango is possibly the best adventure game ever, with the Monkey Island series coming a close second.
I'm really looking forward to Tim Schafer's next game Brütal Legend.
