GOG snaps up Psychonauts for pittance
Grabs Advent Rising, BloodRayne too.
Good Old Games (GOG.com) has begun selling the brilliant Psychonauts for the paltry price of $9.99 (£6).
Designed by Tim Schafer (more recently of Brutal Legend fame), Psychonauts was crowned Eurogamer's Game of the Year 2005, despite not actually launching in Europe until early 2006. Shh.
It's so good we even wrote two reviews. So, yours is the choice of Tom's US import review (too many jokes) or Kristan's PAL review (too many music references).
Advent Rising (EG review) and BloodRayne (EG review) are less interesting, but new on GOG.com nonetheless.

Also, you do need to create an account, but you just subscribe to the Free pack. There used to be more (I joined for Just Cause & Op. Flashpoint, which are sadly no more).

Also, if you haven't played this, you're missing out on a truly epic experience.

Yeah! Go GoG!
GoG always have cool little extras. Of course in the case of Psychonauts just artworks.

Edited to possibly make more sense. But probably not.

Same goes for Bloodrayne which I doubt is any good at all but hey, at least you an obligatory slutty vampire to play as.

Well okay, it has a ridiculous, flat story, boring characters and endless exposition that shouldn't have been told through cutscenes but experienced through gameplay. There was so much potential for some adventure-ing that it's dumbfounding that the developers prefered to drop a 10 minute cutscene on you.
But the gameplay was solid mostly, and the soundtrack very good.
Sadly, it was all too linear and when you got your superpowers the game was much too easy. And: the super powers offered some potential for puzzles that was never used. A shame.
I think in some ways it's a third person Halo. I found it to be much more entertaining though, despite its many flaws.
Edit: Oh, and it crashes, always unexpectedly. Grr...
