Yeah Grim Fandango is frigging amazing. Have you played the new Sam and Max/Monkey Island? Telltale did an amazing job picking up both franchises that Lucasarts stupidly destroyed in their bullshit obsession with all things Star Wars. They probably turned out so great because a few of the Lucasarts Adventure guys jumped to Telltale a while ago.

I'm really happy that there were people dedicated enough to revive the Adventure genre because it was all but dead a few years ago.
Unfortunately I do not spend much time playing games nowadays (besides the occasional Pro Evolution Soccer / Tekken / Smash Bros / Mario Kart hassle with friends). I did check out the first chapters of both Telltale revamps but didn't find the time or interest to keep playing. I'll check them out sometime, though. I do feel as if the golden age of adventure games has been lost forever, as if Fandango had been the climax to a beautiful streak of 90s entries in the genre.
