Yeah OK, OK, simmer down Monkey Island fans: it’s Manny Calavera’s time to shine. And to mark the occasion Double Fine, the studio founded by Grim Fandango writer Tim Schafer, has published…
Short of Civilliant. Most games with numbered sequels tend to iterate and grow on their previous instalments. After all, you don’t want to alienate your audience by upending key systems and creating a substantially different experience from what they’re used to, it just makes sound economic sense.
