Telltale Games

Fury · 01/26/2010, 05:54 pm

If you don't know about Psychonauts, or never got a chance to play it, it's $2 right now.

Go get it. It's awesome.

Even Yahtzee liked it.

I'm guessing everyone else on the forums already owns it, but I bought a second copy so now I have it on PC also.

So go get it! Deal ends thursday! (friday in Aus)

The original price of 10 bucks was pretty good too.

I got it as a gift just last Christmas.

corruptbiggins · 01/26/2010, 06:12 pm

£1 in the UK. Sold me!

Nimeni · 01/26/2010, 06:16 pm

I've never heard of it. What makes it so good?

It's by Tim Schafer, one of the original creators of Monkey Island.

It's a really good game with fantastic humour, especially the later levels.

It's funnier than Monkey Island.

If you haven't heard of it, go get it now. It has a metacritic score of 87, so it's been pretty well received.

If it's as ship-shape as the PS2 version (which I bought way back when) then I highly recommend it.

No, actually, I not only HIGHLY recommend purchasing it, but I also HIGHLY recommend buying multiple copies then shipping them off to your friends. Then influence them to buy multiple copies and send it off to their friends. Then, when they finally get to the end of the friend chain, have them buy multiple copies and send them to Doublefine employees...

...at least that's what I plan on doing.

Fury · 01/26/2010, 06:50 pm

Yeah, I recommend friend gifting it too.

prizna · 01/26/2010, 06:55 pm

It's a platformer. But it's not like mario, and it's as funny as Monkey Island. If not funnier.

Nimeni · 01/26/2010, 07:37 pm

I do love funny . . . All right. You guys convinced me.

Kay, I got it on Steam. It's like . . . 3% downloaded. This could take all night.

Fury · 01/26/2010, 07:44 pm

Yeah, the servers are really busy for psychonauts. It's the second biggest seller on steam, other people (myself included) have purchased it.

If you need more convincing...

May? Do you read aloud whilst typing? I can just imagine that now...

Anyway, i picked it up, but as with the majority of my steam sale collection, won't be touching for a while. I'm like a magpie!

Rawr · 01/27/2010, 09:22 am

I bought it this morning, can't go wrong for a quid. Not tried it yet though, probably won't try it for a while either. Got alot of games to play already.

*Darth Marsden* · 01/27/2010, 09:49 am

£1? Sold!

SHODANFreeman · 01/27/2010, 10:08 am

It's also $0 on Gametap, last time I checked.

True, but you need a subscription for that. Plus this way, you actually own it.

Fury · 01/27/2010, 12:21 pm

Yeah, it's a $2 payment now and then you own it for life.

However, the GameArena servers here in Australia are swamped. Mine refuses to download...

Well, at least as long as Steam doesn't crumble.

I highly doubt that. They're making a fortune.
