28. Grim Fandango
Grim Fandango was an attempt by Lucas Arts to drag classic adventure games in to the 3D era, but it was a sales failure and was partly responsible for the decline of the genre. That aside, it's a brilliant game that fans of previous adventure games like Monkey Island should love. You play as Manny Calavera, who is a travel agent for the Department of Death, which determines how people progress to the Ninth Underworld (either a 4 year journey on foot for sinners, or a 4 minute journey on a train for worthy souls). Manny discovers a plot to steal peoples train tickets, thus forcing them to set out on foot, and the game follows his attempts to set things right. It really is a great game, and it's just a shame more people didn't play it.

The best adventure game in my opinion and I have played lots. It got great reviews and why it didn't sell is a mystery to me. Although probably because it was a new IP and quite an original game, both hard sells to gamers unfortunately.
Hopefully this will see a rerelease sometime soon, it is on xbla's most wanted list.

I remember struggling to find a copy in shops and only one of my mate's had it. It's a shame really. Would love to play this but it doesn't seem to be on Steam or gog.com
