Grim Fandango
Ages: Teen - Animated Violence, Suggestive Themes

We are bringing this one back because it is such a perfect game for Halloween and Los Dias de los Muertos. It is a complex bete-noire story in the Land of the Dead, where the dead have much the same worries and desires as we do - luxury vacations, beautiful women, gambling at racetracks. Even murder and death are part of this quirky alternate world. So how do the dead die? It's too clever to spoil it by telling. If you played it when it came out - dig it up again. You will have forgotten the puzzles. If you never played it - go to one of those mall stores - you can probably pick it up for $10.00 in a jewel case. It's a real jewel.
