“Today is the (10th Anniversary of the) first day of the rest of your life”

November 4, 2008

Technically, shouldn’t updates on this game come in 4 year increments? Just for effect? No? Then I guess it’s time to celebrate the tenth anniversary of our first adventure in the world of Tim Schafer’s twisted travel agency.

Grim Fandango tells the story of a rather lazy – but well-intentioned – Grim Reaper named Manny who uncovers a sinister plot to sell eternal rest on the black market. Controlling Manny, players attempt to get to the bottom of it all – not simply solving the crime, but finally earning their spot in the underworld. (Get it? Bottom of it all? C’mon, people, work with me)

 A critical success, the game marked the last shot to play a Schafer-penned adventure game, and due to this holds a warm spot in many gamers hearts. We congratulate the entire team on the anniversary and you can too. Head on over to doublefine.com and tell them yourself! Now where is Burning Legend?
