Escape was fun, I wouldn't say it's terrible in any sense. I suppose in the end I put Secret above it, easily, but Escape was still pretty fun and funny on it's own merits. I gotta say a giant robot fight was a fun way to end it, though the whole monkey kombat system was a little on the annoying side. Also, first person controls do not suit an adventure game like this well (that goes for Grim Fandango too). Point and click are what it's meant to be. In general, I found Escape fun, but Secret more fun.
Oh, and Grim really wasn't as amusing as I'd hoped... Interesting story, but when it's clearly meant to be a comedy, they could have made it funnier. Still, the puzzles were better than Escape.
Now then, if only I can get ahold of the first two...
(I wonder just how evil a villian LeChuck was when alive...)

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
