Yes the article is not up yet and it is still the month of D, BUT the Humble Weekly Bundle just updated and has Grim Fandango for $13, along with many other quality titles.

If you have not picked it up yet, this is a perfect time to grab it.

Nice! For $2 less than the Steam version I'll grab this and get a bunch of bonus games. Plus, my wife has been wanting to play Costume Quest.

Steam's Halloween sale just went live today as well featuring the game for $5.09. I know that there are some that avoid Steam on principle (particularly where GOG offers the same game), but geez it's hard to go wrong for a measly five bones!

At any rate ... choices! Always good to have a variety of services and discounts to choose from.

I'm looking forward to trying this one out, although I've got a couple other of titles I need to finish up first. I never played the original, so it should be a good time!

Gonna be grabbing thus bundle for sure. Even though I own the original grim fandango, I would love to have the HD remaster and ease of ability to play. I started streaming this a long time ago, breaking the game down, but a debilitating glitch Made it impossible to finish. Now that will be no more so get ready!!

For anyone who has the original, there is a way to run it FULLY installed in Windows 7 64 bit. You can also customize a gamepad to alternate button layout using Joy2Key.

Ok, I started this up over the weekend. I can't say I'm loving it. I can't even put my finger on it. The voice acting seems great. The setting and concept is neat. At least this time I think the art style is nice (as opposed to when we played Psychonauts). But man, this just feels so slowwww to get started. I just got bored and quit after like 20 mins. And it's not that I don't like P&C's... heck, Maniac Mansion is a game I've played through many times. I'm still planning to give this a fair go, but so far my first impression is ultimately kind of meh.

I got the GOG version on sale when this game made it to the calendar. I hope to start it later this week. Although Noise's initial opinion has me a bit reserved now, I did enjoy Psychonauts so I'll make it through the slow introduction.

The game is quite slow paced compared to other games in the genre, especially the second chapter of the 4. It's charming and witty and clever though, so I didn't mind.

Chapter 2 is definitely the low point for me. The area to explore there is just too damn big.

I loved the game overall though. It was on my summer games list like 3 years back.
