Excellent ad. Almost as good as the one for Revengers of Vengeance, my personal candidate for worst game ever.

Not being sarcastic, I like the GF ad, and the RoV ad is so B-movie campy it's great.

When I open it the first time it look great but at that time I didn't play many games and adventure games I didn't play for sure.
Now the ad just stands out so much more to me that I like to play adventure games.

Cool, I've never seen this one before. I also have a two-paged magazine ad right here lying next to me. It's German. And very black in colour. On the left page you can see a close-up of Manny in his white smoking holding a cigarette, on the right it says in white letters:

He has style!
He has charme!
He is absolutely DEAD!


Below that is a small Grim Fandango logo, some two even smaller screenshots and a few lines of text covering the plot's premise. I like that too, especially since its double-paged nature, the stylish black-ness is really everywhere, no matter where you look. Remember... "He is absolutely DEAD!" :D

here's hoping they still turn it into a feature film one day.

no point.
the game offers great film qualities and great game qualities.
a film would just be that minus the interactivity.

The game is a true classic. No movies or remakes please. :crazy:

Yes a remake would not be good. maybe update it so it plays on XP better?
Or does the patch help with that. haven't tried it yet.

a film, no but a sequal, that'd be wonderful!

I wouldn't mind a sequel as long as Tim Schafer is leading the charge.
