Psychonauts

First, let me just say I'm a big fan of Tim Schafer games. Grim Fandango is one of my favorite games of all time. I loved most of the Monkey Island games I've played (and Guybrush is one of my favorite charactors).

Seconed, let me say I'm not a big fan of platformers. I usually find them tedious and frustrating. I enjoyed Oddworld and Prince of Persia, oh wait, and Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. Okay, maybe I like platformers more than I thought?

No matter what, Psychonauts is on my list. I played the demo yesterday for a bit (it was a huge demo, I might add) and it was funny and clever. Just like all the Tim Schafer games I've played.

Actually, all 4 games on the demo disk this month from OXM were games I wanted to play with. I did a little Doom 3 (it's what I expected so I'm looking forward to it, too), but I haven't played Darkwatch or Pariah yet. I think Darkwatch is gonna be my kind of game. Old West with Zombies... how can they go wrong???
