    So much wasted potential

    Quite often you'll read movie reviews where they say the film was so unique and different, but it was marred by crude humour, lack of believability, bad special effects, etc. Psychonauts wholeheartedly belongs in that sa... Read Full Review

    See the world through different perspectives in this clever platformer.

    It has been a couple years since I first experienced Psychonauts so I thought it was worth revisiting before I jumped into the sequel. This story-driven platformer is truly one-of-a-kind as it offers great variety as you... Read Full Review

    I really enjoyed the character design, the dialogue and the story, but the game-play was very dull.

    You're Making A Mistake By Not Playing This

    I first played this game when I was seven, about ten years ago. At the time that it had come out it wasn't popular, not really, but I was quite taken with it. Even now it's my favorite game of all time. I've heard some p... Read Full Review

    Absolutely utterly brilliant!

    I have no idea why this game isn't more popular. I have completed it 7 times and still it feels fresh and addicting, not many games can do this. All the characters are unique and well written and the story is funny and i... Read Full Review

    Managed to pick this up in the Humble Bundle Sale... Glad I did! This game was a blast and is totally worth playing!

    This game was a nice surprise... Original, and fun to play! My only gripe is that the camera can get a little wonky from time to time... and the was a LITTLE unnecessary cursing... This is supposed to be a kids summer... Read Full Review

    A work of art! A really Messed Up art!

    Just finished this game and I am happy I am through with it. This game is very creative yet has serious attitude issues. It seems that while it is full of great game play it is as full of sh*t! The greatest issue her... Read Full Review
