Play Psychonauts on PS3, August 28th

Released back in 2005 for the PlayStation 2, Psychonauts was the first game from a little studio called Double Fine. Critically acclaimed, and loved by gamers, it has never been easily playable on newer hardware, after the PS3 scrapped backwards compatibility. That is - until now.

On August 28th, Psychonauts is coming to PlayStation 2 Classics, meaning you'll be able to download the game directly to your PS3 and play to your heart's content.

Psychonauts

As Double Fine Community Manager Chris Remo explains, the wait is over:

Now, nearly seven years after its original release, that time has come. In five days, I mean. So get ready. Prepare yourself. Warm up your console. Recharge your controller. Do some thumb exercises (is that a thing??). Fortify your funnybone. Tune up your heartstrings. Clean off your credit card. Brace yourself for Psychonauts.

The game itself tells the story of Raz, a young psychic cadet who is trying to put a stop to a sinister conspiracy (try saying that three times fast). He's run away from the circus to join the Psychonauts - a team who share his psychic abilities.

Over the years, Tim Schaefer says Psychonauts has sold more than 400,000 copies - less than he'd hoped they would - but perhaps this re-release will jolt things back into action and that whole Psychonauts 2 thing may become more than a feverdream...
