Grim Fandango is one of my all time favorite adventure games, so I've been eagerly waiting for the remastered version Would Ars be interesting in doing co-written reviews?

Two people immersed in the industry with wildly different tastes playing off each other gives you about as broad a perspective as possible, and I can't count how many times I felt like I was more informed about a movie by the countless "but what about" and "no, no, no, you see" from those two. This is why game reviews need more Siskel & Ebert. Heck, even *game developers* might actually find more relevant critique in a game written by someone who's not already committed to the genre. And those who aren't might learn something more interesting than "gosh, this is my favorite kind of game, so I liked it". The games' biggest fans will buy the games *anyway*. Let people who suck at shooters review shooters. Let people who *hate* racing games review racing games. Sure, make people who never played adventure games review adventure games. In all fairness, and as a huge Grim Fandango fan, I think there's a strong argument for *not* always simply matching reviewers with games they already know they'll love.

ResidualVM will even give you hardware-accelerated graphics. On another note, the "compatibility" issues have been largely solved for some time via DOSBox or ResidualVM ( ). I think the conclusion is meant to summarise the reviewer's experience of playing the game, not the quality of the remaster. As this seems to be the reviewers main beef with this version it doesn't sound to me as though his conclusion is really valid. Imagine if they remastered a classic film and didn't just improve the visuals/audio but reedited it to pick up the pace and make the film 20 minutes shorter it wouldn't be viewed very favourably. LucasArts had been rumored to be working on a high-definition version of Day of the Tentacle until new owner Disney put a stop to its development in fall 2013.To be honest it sounds to me as though the reviewer doesn't really understand what remastered means - if they had 'fixed' the pacing it wouldn't really be remastered, it would be a different game.
