Download Psi-Ops for free News

Holy shit!

It's a really fantastic game as well.

Agreed, it's a really good game at the best possible price. It'd be a bargain at four times the price, or even a bazillion times that price! Or even infinity! Sorry, took it too far, but it's a good game.

Got this and Avast flips out at some kind of worm when i try to run it. Anyone else had a similar problem?

Second Sight was better ;) (even if the physics were a bit dodgy)

I'd rather pay the tuppence you can get it for in a shop/eBay/Amazon to play it on a console. I don't do PC gaming. Still, a pretty decent game for an excellent price.

I was really sorry when this game went unnoticed at the time, I enjoyed it a lot. Bioshock is a poor man's Psi Ops if you ask me :P.

I enjoyed this much more than Second Sight, but thats besides the point.
If you haven't got this then it's a must have as it's now free!

How blatant are the ad and does it come with Game-Adware-Spy built in?

Pretty cool! I wonder why there was no sequel. I really liked the game.

My preference is Psi-ops over Second Sight, as i didn't like the SS focus on stealth, I preferred the bang-bang, your on fire now and I'm a psychic killing machine feel of Psi-ops. Both good games though, but I'd buy Psi-ops first at that price. Did i mention it was free? It's free.

Wasn't this the game where the makers were taken to court for ripping off the plot from some guy's novel?

This was really pretty good on the Xbox. Core gameplay is great, better physics-manipulation than the on/off gravity gun in HL2. Level design's not the greatest though.

The best part is the sandboxy training room in a warehouse, where you can spawn enemies and then crush them, set them on fire, possess them and make them jump off high platforms, blow off their own head with a shotgun etc.

Psi Ops > Second Sight

Although Psi ops went a bit crap near the end when the enemies changed to those annoying invisible flying monsters.

...and now i dont need to play it :(

What's the deal with this free version then? Is it full of ads or something?

I'm downloading it now anyway :P
2.5Gig BTW

This was a great game, I really enjoyed it. Shame there was never a sequel, particularly as it ended with [SPOILER REMOVED]

I think it sold about 26 copies worldwide. Developers made Stranglehold instead of a sequel.

No excuses anymore; if you don't have this one then it's time to pick it up have have some fun.

Totally epic game. I used to have it on PS2.

great game on xbox. cheesy presentation, but they really nailed the telekinesis.

This game was awesome.

Just one of those games that make feel like you. ARE. THE. MAN. as you chuck enemies about, set them on fire and throw them into their mates.

It was awesome, and yes, the TK physics were much better than the gravity gun in HL2. such a good game.

Cripes. I really enjoyed this game.

How incredibly nice of the developers (and Midway) to give it away for nothing.

They should put it on Live for free so I can play it on my 360.

The ending left it open for a sequel. Why don't developers ever do sequels to their better games?

Could this mean a sequel will be announced soon?, hopefully. I have the ps2 version which is very good, but I always regretted not buying the xbox version which looked way better.

Wow, this is actually a really good game, it really clicked with me when I had it on the Xbox

I think I still have it even now infact

Wow, I bought that game back then from the super bargain bin after I enjoyed Second Sight thoroughly, but never came around to playing it. Is the xbox version BC compatible?

It had good controls, was fun to play!

How are the controls on PC?, as on xbox I remembered you used the powers by the right analogue stick and lift up/drop items, anyone used a 360 controller on this yet and confirm it is the same?

Very nice game!

Mine is still shrink-wrapped. Any day now I'll get around to it.

Probably Midway's best-ever game.

I downloaded this free game & Avast my anti virus said it contained a virus on startup, So I disabled that & started the game.

The game was jerking so much I couldn't even get the character smoothly over to the other side of the room he was in.

I have a good enough PC to run this game, but PC games are so much hassle, for me the PC games on Steam are the only games I find reliable enough to be bothered with.

OK, it has been asked several times in this thread but as yet the question remains unanswered...

What's the catch? Is it full of ads? Or virus'? There must be a catch...

/is far too cynical

Downloaded and ran this - when I click to run it on Vista 32 bit it keeps on coming up "create cursor texture fail" and bombs me out, tried uninstalling and re-installing, also tried Xp mode and running as administrator, any ideas?

Its Ad supported,
If you want the version without AD-support it costs $15.

I certainly recommend that people give this a whirl if they missed it the first time (which is highly likely, since the game was so underappreciated at the time).

Boo! no gamepad support on pc

Another virus alert here... What is with this game? Spyware/Virus and it's free?

Hi lads,
I finally got around to downloading and trying this. There's definitely no virus involved, that wouldn't be the best publicity for an ad-supported game! No blatant spyware either - at least none that my three spyware scanners could detect. There's just an ad for sports shoes before you get into the game, and it repeats when you exit to Windows. I already can't remember what brand it is, so it's a bad piece of advertisement, but it lasts for about 15 seconds so it's really endurable!
However I'm not sure this game is really worth the download in 2008. I'm afraid some of you who played it back in 2004 may be viewing it now through slightly rose-tinted glasses. It looks primitive (even in 1280x1024 with max details it looks like a game from around 2001 - you can definitely tell it was developed with the PS2 in mind). To think it was released the same year as Far Cry or Half Life 2 is baffling, it feels like there's a technological gap of several years in-between Psi-Ops and those games in terms of graphics, physics, animation, and AI.
But there's worse: the voice acting AND script are ridiculous to the point of being embarrassing, with an intro cut-scene that plumbs the depths of cliché video game story-telling. It feels inferior to Second Sight, of which I have rather fond memories - though I admit I played it closer to its date of release.
