Stack Pop

Psychonauts is complete. The "last boss" was just a precursor. I had some kind of odd bug which prevented me from being able to beat him in my first try. I actually had to die 5 times to get the continue, so I could load the game without this one board protecting the glass brain case on the giant tank. I thought this boss was too easy, and the game more than made up for it. The final level of the game is just sick sick sick. Time limits, impossible jumps, another pseudo-boss-fight, and a new type of play for the final boss with some new magical powerup in order to beat him. At least the ending cinematic was pretty good, even though the weak sales of this great game preclude it getting the sequel so hinted at. All in all, a really solid experience, and until the last level, I highly recommend it to anyone even remotely interested.

My 360 should be back by next Monday, but by then Lars will probably have bought Burnout Paradise, and I intend to get some progress on Overlord this weekend. I have a hard choice to make when I get the 360 back: Bioshock or Overlord. I really want to get Bioshock done so I don't have to worry about spoilers, but Overlord is ready to be played right now. I think I'll do what I can in Overlord this weekend, and evaluate the Bioshock dilemma when I get the 360 back. I miss Rock Band!
