    Yay! Psychonauts, the third person mind-bending platformer from the genius behind Day of The Tentacle and Full Throttle, has just been released for free on GameTap until the end of the year.

    http://www.gametap.com/home/play/gameDetails/000475950

    It's an awesome game, despite a few flaws, about a psycho misfit who runs away from the circus to go to a special military summer camp for kids with psychic powers. The game is half epic save-the-world plot and half survive-the-playground. Give it a whirl.

    Free until the end of the year, and then afterwards it stops working, or you just won't be able to download it for free any more?

    Never mind.. Can't be doing with bloatware.

    I really wasn't that taken by what I have played of it so far. Good concept but not for me.

    No, Game tap is a subscription service: Stop paying stop playing.

    this game is great

    I had trouble killing the boss of the milkman stage so I stopped playing (eventually got it but never continued) but it's still a really cool game to play with twisted worlds

    The milkman stops most people and puts them off. Personally, it was Napoleon who I found more annoying.
