Abstract: If you grew up as a teenager in the 90s and were a bit of a geek, then you probably have a soft spot for LucasArts' puzzle adventure games. The games might not have the same mass appeal as Star Wars, but at that time there were very few things that were c...

Gripping story, Art direction, Developer commentary
4:3 aspect ratio, No hint system
The passage of time has done little to diminish Grim Fandango's reputation as one of the finest adventure games ever made, and the fact that so little needed to be done to modernize it only reinforces its place as a classic of the genre. While it may seem...
Grim Fandango Remastered isn't perfect. We've had prettier--or at least more extensive--overhauls of some classic adventure games recently, including Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers and Shadowgate (and, I guess, Resident Evil HD since that's kind of a...
Abstract: While Good Old Games has become the one-stop shop for most of the classics, Double Fine has taken a different route and pumped out a new, remastered version of Grim Fandango , a Tim Schafer joint that seems to be one of the more obscure entries of the Luc...

Abstract: After Telltale's success with Sam & Max and Tales of Monkey Island, it seemed inevitable that we would start to see other classic point & click adventure games make a comeback. I figured that the floodgates would open and a whole new generation of gamers ...
Abstract: When someone creates a significant work of art, it needs to be preserved so that later generations can experience it. Each medium has its challenges, whether it be preserving a painting's color and condition, ensuring a book is widely available, or re-rel...
Fantastic atmosphere, visuals and music, Laugh-out-loud funny dialogue, Excellent story and characters
Unstable and prone to freezing, Obtuse game progression, Cumbersome puzzle solving
Grim Fandango Remastered is hilarious, gorgeous and sure to delight adventure fans, but it can also feel dated and frustrating. Grim Fandango is a classic, and after playing the remastered version, I can almost understand why. Don't get me wron...
