In my 15 years experience in PC games, Grim Fandango stands as the most emotional, intelligent and beautiful game.

Once you have played it, you will start looking for Adventure games that could give you yet another Grim Fandango experience. This 1998 game stands as one of the best computer games ever made. The context of this game is a perfect fantasy-- the world of limbo, where a group of deads are in charge of receiving and facilitating new deads to heaven or hell-- depending on their living deeds. This world is however caught in a web of corruption. The hero of the game goes to the bottom of the corruption and exposes the villains and saves his love-interest from going to a wrong destination.
Now that I look back, I can easily see why I love this game so much;
Number 1. It has the most dramatic storyline in any game, along with a very satisfactory climax.
Number 2. The player can easily empathise with lead character Manny-- he is honest, romantic and a revolutionary; he's a dream character
Number 3. The romantic element is sweet; drives the player to meet the heroine again at the end of the game.
Number 4. The cut scenes are so well conceived that it makes you feel like you are inside a movie. One of the scenes was death of a friend on a light house. The death of a dead in the limbo is symbolised by transformation of the skeleton into flowers. When manny arrives too late, he gets to see the wind blowing all the flowers away into thin air. Number 5. All the side characters are loveable
Number 6. The puzzles are cool and challenging.
Number 7. Even in present tech standard, the graphics still look good.
All in all, this is THE perfect 10 game.
