Cause I want to talk about it.

I've mentioned Grabbed by the Ghoulies once or twice around here and since I didn't hear anything along the lines of "Rare sucks" or "Worst game I've ever played" like usual, I feel safe to talk about it here.

For the most part I feel Grabbed by the Ghoulies is an under appreciated masterpiece. It's what the old-school beat-'em up genre should have evolved into (instead of the hack and slash God of War style game). The gameplay was pretty simple set on a linear path, but it provided a decent challenge and had crazy moments.

Grabbed by the Ghoulies really shined in it's music, graphics and humor. Theirs something about that cel-shaded art style that I just loved. And well having a Grim Reaper Kill you then play his scythe like a Guitar is the most amazing thing I've ever seen in a game.

It's easily my favorite Xbox game ever.

As you know, we own it, and it truly is awesome. Controls were so simple yet so effective, meaning that Cas could play it and not get annoyed with it. :D

Its been a while since it got some play time here, so I might just crack it out for an hour or two.

I keep wanting to play it, but I've got new games to play.

Blokey did you ever beat Challenge 21? I thought it was one of the best things to ever happen in a game.

Oh and the last boss, that was amazing.

Imagine rooting through piles of shit and you find a diamond.

Grabbed By The Ghoulies is the diamond.
