Psychonauts

Outstanding!

Tim Schafer's gloriously bizarre platform/adventure title is crazy good fun. Read Review

Surreal action adventure game starring Raz, a powerful young cadet at psychic summer camp. While working on his levitation merit badge, Raz discovers that someone is kidnapping psychic children and stealing their brains. In order to foil this evil plot and earn the title of Psychonaut, Raz must project himself into the minds of one bizarre character after another to battle their nightmares and mental demons. He does all this while continuing to earn his psychic merit badges in Telekinesis, Clairvoyance, Pyrokinesis and more. Players run, bounce, float, climb, swing and sneak while defeating monsters, lunatics and demons with the Psi-Blast, a mental burst of energy that will banish nightmares.

Hey, the first documentary episode of Double Fine's Adventures With Money is now out, thanks to that Kickstarter you backed a couple of months ago. It sure is heartwarming to watch Tim Schafer put your dollars to good use as a third layer of clothing. Wait, what's that? You didn't back the venture? Yeah, Schafer knows these things. Luckily, he and his pals at the apple-coloured Double Fine offices have opened a Paypal account for additional would-be backers. They thought of everything! Read More »

Notch: Psychonauts 2 Probably Not Happening for "A While," At the Very Least

PC News | Mar 13, 2012

I had the pleasure of speaking with Markus "Notch" Persson during GDC (the full results of which you'll see on the site soon), and -- of course -- I had to ask about Psychonauts 2. Among other things, Notch revealed to me that he'd be having a face-to-face chat with Tim Schafer during GDC. It would be, I figured, a spirited dialog that'd be spoken of in awed whispers for years to come. Legends, epic poetry, interpretive dance -- all of these things would come of it. But then they, well, didn't. Read More »
