How excited was I to read a 4-page preview of Grim Fandango, a game from the makers of the Monkey Island series? It looked so excellent and impressive, and I had high expectations for the game. My expectations were totally met, even though I was, at first, unfamiliar with the control system. The game runs in a world of it's own, the world of the dead, with the main character, Manny, trying to do his job, but getting pushed back by his cheating colleage. There are really well-rendered backdrops, atmospheric locations, and memorable characters to take away from this game. They just don't make games like this anymore, which is a big shame. It would be nice if LucasArts got back into this market, because they were the best at it.
