Psychonauts: Best Original Game 18 Jun, 2002 / Comments: 5

By DJG


In today's announcement of the Game Critics Awards: Best of E3 2002, Psychonauts deservingly earned the award for Best Original Game. Here's a quote from one of the many critics who loved the preview for this upcoming title:
Tim Schafer is a man so creative that we?re almost inclined to kick him out of the gaming industry. Why? The bottom line is that he makes everyone else?s games look so damn derivative.
How true. Big congrats to Tim Schafer, the Psychonauts team, Double Fine Productions, and hell, even Microsoft for a great job!

    Well earned! Congrats to Tim & team.

    The game rocks so much. It's so original. And the best part is that the dialogues are not childish!

    Yay for not making sense. So, yeah, I don't want to wait that long to buy an X-Box (for other games), but I don't want to contribute to the game's lack of commercial success, if I can help it.

    AFTER E3 '03??? How am I supposed to show Micro$oft that I'm buying the X-Box to play Psychonauts when the game won't be released until mid-2003?

    Boo Tim Schafer.
