The Bootcamp Bulletin, No. 3 - First Psychonauts reviews hit! 21 Mar, 2005, 14:30 / 7 comments

By Jake


Yes, already! Majesco has mailed out the third issue of their Psychonauts newsletter, "The Bootcamp Bulletin." This issue talks about an "interactive" Psychonauts print ad campaign Majesco is running, the tshirt preorder deal at Gamestop, Psychonauts' appearance on that college game tour thing, but most importantly: first magazine reviews!

Psychonauts will be gracing the cover of this month's Play Magazine, featuring an 8 page mega-review culminating in the game getting a 9 out of 10. The game has also been reviewed by Playboy of all things, who give it 4 out of 4, and Blender magazine also gives it 4 out of 4, calling it a condender for game of the year!

Not too many heavyweight game mags in that early mix, but still, very promising signs on the review front! If you want to receive these newsletters yourself instead of reading about them here, I'm sure Majesco would love it if you would stop by Psychonauts.com and subscribe for yourself!

    Great to see the finished game getting very high praise in its first reviews. You can read the latter two articles mentioned (Playboy and Blender) in the scans on the official site:
