One Off The List is our weekly list feature. Is there something you think doesn t deserve to be on this list? Comment with your reasons why, and next week it may be struck off.Hell is other people, wrote Jean-Paul Satre. But also my favourite level in Doom. He was a smart man, and he probably lives in hell now, on account of all the atheism. But listen, hell doesn t seem that bad.
You could do a lot worse than a trip to the underworld, is what I m saying, and as luck would have it, we have the perfect means for you to go there without singeing your eyebrows or being dunked in a toxic lake for eternity. That s right: videogames. It s always videogames. Here are the 10 best hells you can visit on PC.(more). Has it really been 20 years since Grim Fandango? Almost—the game turns 20 in October, and to celebrate Geoff Keighley and Tim Schafer put together a special event at the E3 Coliseum Tuesday night.
Well, actually, in this case, it is. But in the most thematically appropriate way for the 20th Anniversary edition of the Grim Fandango soundtrack. Composer Peter.
The key cast of Grim Fandango reassembled to do a live read of the script, with Schafer setting the stage as narrator. It's not every line from the game, obviously, the but the hour-long event runs through the key scenes of Manny's quest to make amends with Meche across four years of the day of the dead.Composer Peter McConnell and a backing band provide an accompanying live soundtrack and sound effects. Oh, and Jack Black is there. Black isn't playing his role from Double Fine's Brutal Legend—he subs in for a few of the smaller Grim Fandango voice parts and hams it up appropriately. For me, the highlight is seeing Tony Plana reprise the role of Manny Calavera.
If you have an hour to kill, this is a great way to do it. Great moments in PC gaming are short, bite-sized celebrations of some of our favorite gaming memories.Grim Fandango is a beautiful adventure, and never moreso than during Year 2. That’s the part set in Rubacava, an art-deco Casablanca where we leave hero Manny Calavera sweeping floors and return a year later to see him at the head of his own casino, a local hero. That transition alone is a beautiful bit of game design, but it’s what follows that really cements it.Where most games ultimately make you some kind of outsider, with little or no real place in the world save maybe as its local bruiser/gunslinger, Grim Fandango opened up Rubacava with the idea that you know everybody, and more importantly, everybody knows you. Whether it’s picking up that at some point Manny has made contacts with the police, or the unrequited love between him and Carla the security guard, it’s an immersive and even heart-rending place to explore. After all, you’re not there during the good times, but picking up the story as Manny prepares to burn every bridge in the probably futile pursuit of the woman he let down.
You arrive as a king. You leave back at square one, on a chase rooted more in guilt than any hope of salvation.And oh, that music. That wonderful, wonderful music. Rubacava is one of the greatest towns in gaming, give or take a couple of particularly painful puzzles. It’s not a place you’d likely want to live, but it’s a great place to have lived.
