It's finally out! Psychonauts is finally here! I'm telling you right now, I'm not going anywhere the rest of the day except to EB to go pick this marvelous little gem up. If the reviews so far are any indication, and if my previous experience with the game is as well, then I'm in for one hell of a treat.
What other game lets you go inside the mind of others and find out all about a Milkman Conspiracy, Black Velvetopia, Lungfishopolis, and a ton of other zany brainscapes for you to run around and cause havoc in? That's right. There is no other game.
That being said, I'm really looking forward to losing myself in Tim Schafer's zany world of Psychonauts. The platforming in the demo was really solid, and the dialogue was the funniest I've ever heard in a game. Yes, even better than Jade Empire's thus far.
The one bad thing about Psychonauts coming out today is that I have to put Jade Empire on the backburner. Yes, I really want to finish it still, but I REALLY want to play Psychonauts and see the outstanding effort that Tim and his crew have put into this game. Not only that, but I'm going to have to hold off on getting Unreal Championship 2, mainly because I just don't have the time right now.
Oh yeah, and just so you know, if you have Halo 2, go download the update. It feels much more like Halo 1 now, and you don't have to race to get new weapons. Jack is a very happy camp…killer now. 😉
