Tim Schafer has updated the Double Fine Action News to remind everyone that Psychonauts is now available for purchase from Steam for just $19.95.

For those who don't know, Steam is the downloadable games service built by Valve Software to distribute their popular Half-Life series of first person shooters. Valve has slowly been expanding out the service to include other interesting PC titles, including great games like Defcon, Rag Doll Kung Fu, X3 Reunion, and of course things like Counter-Strike.

In celebration of Psychonauts being available through digital distribution, Double Fine artist Scott Campbell drew an awesome special edition of his Action Comic featuring Raz, the Two-Headed Baby, and Half-Life's Gordon Freeman and the G-Man exchanging gifts. It's available right here.

If you don't yet own the Excellent Game Psychonauts you have no excuses left. Go get it on Steam right now.

    No excuses? So they made a MAC port?

    I know for a fact - based on its performance when trying to play WoW and Doom 3 - that my Dual 2GHz G5 wouldn't be able to play Psychonauts at a decent framerate, and that's depressing. After I couldn't get those games to break 30 FPS I finally gave in and bought a new motherboard and video card for my PC for a few hundred dollars. I have hope that I'll be able to game on a Mac Pro if I ever buy one, but I've generally given up on trying to play any modern or even semi-modern games on a PPC based Mac. :(

    That said, I would welcome Mac Psychonauts and install it the moment I got an Intel mac.

    If you have an Intel based mac get Boot Camp, you can run PC also. Sorted it out last week, works like a charm.

    You're using the wrong OS if you want to play games. ;D
