The skeletons have risen once again.
Grim Fandango is I gotta say the 2nd best creation of LucasArts games! It has REALLY VERY unforgettable characters such as Manny Calivera, Glottis, and other more! Manny Calivera,(the main character) goes around the ... Read Full Review

Welcome to the land of the dead! The land where the restless souls wander and desperate...salesmen battle.
Oh yeah. You read it right. Salesmen. This idea is one of the best I've seen in an adventure games ever! You know, Grim Fandango's World is the Land Of The Dead, which is only a temporary area for those who are moving to... Read Full Review

Decided to see why it was always refered back to for great accomplishments. I definitely agree with them!
This game simply blew me away, even though I played it for the first time about 7 years after its release. I decided to check it out, and was NOT disappointed in the least! As far as adventures go, this one is unique.... Read Full Review

Being Hideo Kojima my videogaming god, Tim Schaffer is my videogaming guru for sure.
When you have one of those melancholic days when everything past was best and when your memories come along bringing you all those videogaming memories you treasure, you are probably about to think on one of these 3 type... Read Full Review

The creativity, colorful characters, and solid art direction overcomes the dated gameplay mechanics.
If you've played Psychonauts, then you know just how incredibly creative Tim Schaffer can be. His worlds are colorful, incredibly surreal, and some how remind us of real life. However, Psychonauts wasn't the first Scha... Read Full Review

When they weren't making Star Wars: Something Or Other, LucasArts used to show the world how adventures are made.
Adventure games are all about story , dialogue, and puzzles. Neglect one and it'll drag the whole production down. Grim Fandango nails all three and deserves the term masterpiece. This is the type of game that rival co... Read Full Review

By which all other adventures are ultimately judged.
How many times have you played a game, and then in that day or two after you finished, have you kind of wished there was another game like Grim Fandango? If you haven't then you've never played. I have scoured all of the... Read Full Review

After seven years and counting, it still counts as my favourite game of all time and, to me, the greatest.
I thought it is about time I volunteered something to the gamespot community and since all I have to offer is pretty much opinions on games, what a better way to start than by reviewing Grim Fandango. The only game I can... Read Full Review

The only bad thing about Grim Fandango is that im pretty sure i'll never play a game this good again.
When people ask me what I think is the best game ever, (like the retro-nerd I am) I used to say something like Last Ninja 3 or Nintendo World Cup. That was until I played Grim Fandango. It's really hard to describe how ... Read Full Review
