The 1998 LucasArts adventure game Grim Fandango has wonky controls, a couple of game-stopping bugs (especially when played on modern hardware), and some annoyingly obscure inventory puzzles. But it also has an engaging story unlike any other game -- a noir mystery set in the Aztec Land of the Dead. Oh, and a gorgeous soundtrack. It was well worth the trouble playing through.

Really? Well worth the trouble? I gotannoyed. And the Creator guy is a huge dick, I know that slanted my view of it.

For a second when I read "the Creator guy" I thought you talking about God, rather than the writer/producer of the game.

That's a GREAT goddamn game. Maybe not "Monkey Island" great, but a hell of a lot of fun.
I bought the soundtrack on CD years ago. Good stuff. Let me know if you want a copy.
