Funny you bring up Grim Fandango. I was just thinking about reinstalling it. It has similarities with my own. Both are set in the Noir era. Both feature direct controlled characters. Both are adventures. Grim is a comedy, whereas mine has little...mainly dry and subtle, so that's one difference.

As for Lucasarts cancelling Sam & Max 2 and Full Throttle 2...well that's a shame, but the facts don't back them up. The Syberia games have sold hundreds of thousands of copies and a game called Runaway: A Road Adventure sold around 400000-500000 in the last year. Alot of these sales are in Europe, however.
