Psycho.

Decided to try Gametap for the first time a couple of days ago, honestly never expected much from it (the classics are great, no doubt, but my attention span simply doesn’t work with them anymore). The model of Gametap is pretty nice, there’s free games to draw in users, a trial month for 99 cents, and a wide enough selection to make it worthwhile (for the first month, at least). So, I bit and downloaded Psychonauts first. Why did I miss that game when it came out? Wonderful platformer, loved the artwork and comedy. The game play was pretty usual of the platformers–lots of jumping and puzzles–the psychic powers were what made the game, adding a puzzle effect to even the fights. After Psychonauts I went on to download Beyond Good & Evil–another great game I missed (I swear, I won’t let that happen again). I’m still playing through it, but the thing that I find best in it is the sound and music, I love the music they use. The gameplay has some great action in it and the platforming is fairly usual but with some decent twists. I’ve forgotten how much I love platformers and adventure games with all the RPG’s and MMO’s I’ve been doing lately–it’s nice to play some, they tend to just be fun challenges (which makes for a good gaming time).
