Psychonauts

[pentoman]

.. is a game from the guy(s?) behind Monkey Island and more.

Just played the demo of this, and it's great. Sort of a standard first person run/jump/swing/punch-er, but with some crazy creative ideas + story rather than the usual lame storylines and ideas in such games. You run around inside people's minds and see their thoughts and stuff. It's just like how a dream could be if you could put it in your computer and run around in it.

Anyone played it? Might buy the full thing.

If it's the one i'm thinking of, it's been out for quite a while,
late 2004 or early 2005 iirc.
It was a bit of a sleeper hit so to speak.

I had it on Xbox and despite never finishing it i really enjoyed
it.Great graphics, humour, different characters to play with,
the odd vehicle etc etc.
kameo on the 360 reminded me of it a bit.

Couple of years old now. Very good game, worth the money. Tons of character, and pretty easy to get in to.

Fantastic game with some very memorable levels, got this imported directly from the developers back when it was still unknown if it would make it to the UK or not, Tim Schafer even signed the copy which is cool in a nerdy way.

Cool. I looked for it in HMV and two GAME stores today but didn't find it. Apparently they did have it in Game but it was out of stock. I bought SWAT 4 instead. I seem to have a yearning for some old mouse and keyboard action after being addicted to xbox 360 for ages.


Just noticed, Psychonauts is on STEAM, woohoo!
