10 Videogame Holiday Destinations You Should Avoid

8. The Land of The Dead - Grim Fandango

The biggest handicap to visiting The Land of The Dead - and the clue€™s in the name €“ is that you have in fact, got to be dead. You might feel like an extra in a classy 1940€™s smoky film noir, get the chance to visit the thriving city of El Marrow and the glitzy Rubacava, and stumble across an eclectic group of characters, but the whole €˜being dead€™ thing really doesn€™t do the place many favours. The land is rife with corruption too with no one looking out for one another. It€™s place where you€™re on your own and few can be trusted. And you have to question the economy when a humble travel agent on the verge of being fired can become a successful nightclub owner in less than a year and no one bats an eyelid. Well, they might, if the residents had eyelids. It just doesn€™t feel legit. Best just avoid the place.
