I think you'd have to bring in actual corpses to deliver the lines with less life. And holy crap, the writing is atrocious: "It's a really pretty cool game."

The scatological humor is great though ... if you're 5.

[yesterdaysYOUTH]

poor psychonauts is under rated

[igotnadathree]

Psychonauts is on the original Xbox, PS2, PC, and if you have a 360, you can download it off of Xbox Live for 1200 points. Truly an amazing game.

Apart from the last level - god that was horrible. Most Tim Schaffer games are amazing though.

Shadow of the COlossus deserves Best Art Direction, those fools.
