Psychonauts
Published by: Majesco
Developed by: Double Fine
Released April 19, 2005
Why we chose it: Double Fine’s awesome platformer dazzles us with a story that has a lot of depth and a lot of humor. Sure it doesn’t have the global intrigue of Splinter Cell, the story of self-discovery and redemption that Stranger’s Wrath has, or the feel of a Kung-Fu classic like Jade Empire; but can you really argue with a story that makes you a bullfighter, that has you challenging Napoleon to an odd game of risk, that turns you into Godzilla, and that has you solving a conspiracy all in the same game? Psychonauts is an awesome game with an awesome story that you should check out.
