This thread is about one of the best games ever.

Namely
the Most Excellent Game
PSYCHONAUTS!
psychonauts_box.jpg


Created by mad gaming genius TIM SHAFER of Monkey Island, Full Throttle and Grim Fandango fame, Psychonauts is a weird little action-adventure platformer that largely takes place not in the physical realm but in the human mind!

You play as Raz:
psychonauts1.jpg

A ten-year-old, psychically-gifted acrobat who runs away from the circus to join Whispering Rock Psychic Summercamp in his quest to become a full-fledged psychic secret agent: A Psychonaut!


Psychonauts features some of the best art direction and writing of any game ever and it is a genuinely fun, funny and original experience that everybody should try at least once.


Talk about it in this thread. It's what the thread is for.

EDIT:By the way, Double Fine recently unveiled their brand-new PSYCHO-PEDIA containing muchos infos on the game and some of the people involved with it. BE CAREFUL, though, as the PSYCHO-PEDIA also contains muchos spoileros, which you should be wary of if you haven't already played the game.

    It always annoyed me that this game looks like a shitty Dreamworks film. Like Antz or something.

    Listen, you and I know the score but not everybody is as smart as we are so I've had to dumb things down a little in order to allow the plebs to keep up.

    Are you saying that we'll achieve a greater synthesis and eventually reach the ultimate stage of Pure Porn Communism?

    This and the first KotOR game are the two best games to come out on the Xbox.

    I can never decide which is my favorite though.

    Book?

    If you're talking about the Psycho-Pedia it's an online thing.

    And it has links to the campers's myspace profiles!
