Straight from Tim Burton's dreams comes this cartoon influanced platformer with a memorable story.

- The Bottom Line:
- "Masterpiece"
From the witty intro to the satisfying conclusion, this action packed, character driven game will satisfy anyone's desire to poke around in people's heads. The levels themselves are as interesting as they are fun in probing a character's mentality.
The game play itself is varied enough, and will later have you coming back to probe areas you missed the first time through.
The story itself is both wacky and familiar, with unseen twists turning themselves into new levels to explore.
The music at times seems to be a direct rip from Beetle juice and Nightmare before Christmas (The composer lists Danny Elfman as one of his influences) and helps add to the unique dimension the game inhabits.
If you could choose to play one game this month, make sure it's this one. It gives around 35-40 hours of entertainment without stopping the smell the flowers.

Psychonauts offers a bizarre yet wonderful adventure, as well as some of the most hilarious writing seen in video games.

Psychonauts finds, in the twisted human mind, the perfect flourishing grounds for the wackiness of the platforming genre

Funny and creative... but that doesn't make it fun.
