I MAY have a chance to play the XBox version of Psychonauts in the near future.  I'm looking forward to the chance.  Ever since I learned that a lot of the games I liked from Lucasarts were all masterminded by the same dude, I've begun to understand the whole Psychonauts obsession people have.
 
I played the demo for the PC a month or two ago...  I think...  and barring control difficulties I enjoyed the style of it.  The only thing that bugged me was that it seemed like money endlessly generated around the little camp where you start, which to me seems like an odd design choice since that means you can basically obsessively collect money and buy everything.  Maybe the stuff you buy isn't that big a deal though, so collecting a bunch just helps the game from stalling when you need recuperative items or whatever.
 
Whatever you may think of Brutal Legend, the guy's got a good list of games behind him-- The short but sweet Full Throttle and the excellent Grim Fandango spring to mind.  So I'm pretty sure I'm in for a treat...  assuming I get it :)
 
If not there's always buying it straight from the company store, but that will cost me...  nearly a hundred dollars, all told.  Not too keen on that if I can avoid it.  Should I get the game, if anyone's interested in hearing what I have to say (in the same way that I'm interested in hearing what people who saw Star Wars for the first time think of it), let me know.
