Genre: Adventure - Point-and-click - Detective-mystery Release Date: January 27, 2015 Developer and Publisher: Double Fine Productions
About: Something's rotten in the land of the dead, and you're being played for a sucker. Meet Manny Calavera, travel agent at the Department of Death. He sells luxury packages to souls on their four-year journey to eternal rest. But there's trouble in paradise. Help Manny untangle himself from a conspiracy that threatens his very salvation. One of the most acclaimed adventure games of all time is now back, better than ever. Grim Fandango's epic story of four years in the life (or death) of Manny Calavera, travel agent to the dead, has been remastered to look, sound, and control even better than when it won GameSpot's Game of the Year award upon it's original launch. Grim Fandango still stands as a classic of the genre, with unforgettable characters and unique combination of film noir and Mexican folklore.

Spoiler
Grim Fandango is now available for pre-order at GOG.com and Steam.
Even if I prefer classic point&click adventures, it's nice to see they revamped the engine and it's not just the old version with exe adapted for modern Windows OS
Afaik the classic windows cdrom is a pain in the ass to run without any problems on modern systems, often it doesn't run at all
not exactly a fan of adventure type of games but for some reason i'm interested to play this one
Highly recommended from me (above The Longest Journey 1, Loom talkie or Syberia).
It's easy to get into and enjoy. Actually smile.
The intro movie sets you up nicely on the game's atmosphere - smart humor mixed with genuine voice acting and storytelling. With some clever puzzles thrown in here and there.
The Mexican angle fits well and chances are you'll like the main character's unique charm. I can't think of any game that touches the specific folklore like this one does.
If at times you feel the game is some "sleepy", keep playing through to the end. It makes some good adjustments later on with surprises.

There is an implementation of the game called ResidualVM, its like SummVM but with the GrimE engine. Grim Fandango works perfectly in every system supported. It works pretty well even on Wii.
