You should know about this.

Again, this is far from obscure. It got great critic reviews and has a devoted following. I'm moving it to General Gaming.

Anyone know if Double Fine is working on a big release title? They've had several downloadable games recently but nothing big that I know of.

[Alyxx Thorne]

I hope it at least gets a release on GOG.com, then they could include some nice bonus features.

Tell me how to get this game, NAU!!

$79.00, Waddafux.

Keep in mind unopened copies have a lot of collectors' value. Buy a copy "like new" for 40 bucks instead.

[Axeldeath]

$40.00 for a like new copy...

 

Still waaaaay too much.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Then you should reconsider your economy because 40 bucks is NOT that much.

[Axeldeath]

$40 for a game from 1998... Is reasonable?

[Alyxx Thorne]

To me, it is, yes. The age should have nothing to say.

[Kirkreng]

It should. I wouldn't say 40 bucks for Half Life would be worth it. Not because it is a bad game(quite the opposite), it is just outdated.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Well it's a rare game that still holds up today so I think it's cheap, especially considering Call of Duty costs about 60-100 bucks and most Wii games cost about 90 bucks around here. 40 bucks to me is nothing compared to what most modern games cost.

[Axeldeath]

That's because they're modern games, old games should be far cheaper because there is no longer any interest in them and they wont produce any revenue at that price point.

Well, Grim Fandango is a cult favourite and is highly sought after, there's a ton of interest in it.
