Bargain alert: Right now you can grab the PC version of
Psychonauts, the game that put Tim Schafer's Double Fine Productions on the map, for
just two bucks on Steam. This midweek sale will last until Thursday, at which point the game will return to its normal -- and still fairly reasonable -- price of $9.99.
Never heard of Psychonauts? Picture a fairly traditional platformer set in a summer camp for kids with psychic abilities. As tends to happen when you mix unsupervised children with the supernatural, things go awry quickly and the main character is forced to enter the deranged minds of the camp's staff. It's also full of the kind of quality writing you'd expect from the people that brought us Brutal Legend, like this little gem: "Over time, my husband will desire me less, sexually, but he will always enjoy my pies."
If you're still not sold, there's also a free demo available. Just be sure to make your decision before the end of Thursday, or you'll be stuck paying full price for Tim Schafer's mind-bending adventure.
