With its snarky wit and twisted mental landscapes, "Psychonauts" is a video game that'll blow your mind. It's a new title from the bizarre brain of game designer Tim Schafer, the guy many will fondly remember for the oddball undead adventure classic "Grim Fandango."
If being an original game in these days of endless sequels were the only mark of quality, "Psychonauts" ($50, PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox, T-rated) would rank among the most imaginative games in a long time.
But Schafer and his development team at Double Fine Productions have done more than filter witty banter and oddball characters through his wacky imagination: They've made it really fun, too.

I think Katamari Damacy is more original than this game.
More original perhaps, but not as fun.
I played the demo for KD and it's alright.

Katamari Damacy is insanely fun... you need to play far more than a simple demo in order to get the humor and idea of the game. The game layers on simple and subtle strategy in later levels... goddamned fun, but far too short.Originally Posted by Lord_of_the_Dense
Psychonauts sounds interesting... I may have to check it out someday...
"There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17... I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice… The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd."
I saw it earlier last week, i was gonna download it but was unsure of game play.. I have so many to play, but seeing baby everynight. I wont get a chance til baby comes home.
Psychonauts is really strangly addictive. The first time I played it I thought it sucked but now that I've played for awhile its really quite entertaining.

No I am not a Captain & Tenille fan.
I just thought it was catchy!
