First, I was just going to say that it's worth checking the Humble pages these days, because apart from a game being available to pick up for free for 24 hours every Monday, there are some good deals going on right now. Then I saw the Psychonauts discussion.
Psychonauts was the first game I played that was done by DoubleFine, so I didn't really know what kind of stuff they do beforehand. Then I started playing the game, and realised that it's awesome. I loved the style, the world and the characters (also the fact that if you explored enough, you found additional information about characters; some pretty grim stuff most of the time).
I honestly don't know why I haven't beaten the game yet. Attempted it twice already, but I only got as far as the board game in the asylum. I guess it might the controls: I have it for PC, played it with mouse and keyboard, and switching powers around didn't really feel fluid for me (I'm assuming some of you played it on console, so you probably have a whole different experience of it).
Brütal Legend I completed without taking a break from it. It certainly wasn't the combat that kept me playing: again, it's just the world in general and the writing (and the music, that was great too).
