What are you using to attack the brain? I found that punches seem to work the best. Stay away from the brain when it spins its beam the fastest, then approach when the beam slows. You should be able to get in a number of punches that drop the brain's...  [Read More]

I had to 'turn on' the levitate power so I could get a high enough jump, then float across. There's some netting on the building across the way you can just grab the bottom of, if you time it right. Good luck....  [Read More]

Thanks everyone. Turns out that my right thumbstick is just totally not being acknowledged by the game. Not sure why (every button and stick and pad checks out when I calibrate the device in my control panel). I'll just have to use my mouse for the...  [Read More]

I purchased the PC version of Psychonauts and just received an XBox controller adapter in the mail. The PC manual doesn't have much on gamepad controls. With a little experimentation, I figured out most everything, but one frustrating thing is hittin...  [Read More]

You know, I had the exact same problem. I finally solved it by realizing that I had an inventory to open. Try doing that and selecting the button, then hitting the action key (on the PC, it's 'F'.) Luck, Mike...  [Read More]

The buttons should be facing the ground, yes? :) I'm not sure what the XBox controls are. Here's what the default controls are for PC gamepad play: A=Psi-punch B=jump/select (inventory) X=cancel/exit y=action left thumbstick=move Raz press left thu...  [Read More]

Just started a new game now that I have an adapter for my Xbox controller. What a difference. Basic movement, inventory access are so much simpler. Although, it gets more complicated when I need to focus my Psi blast. Even with the controller, my f...  [Read More]

Gotta agree that this game seems quite difficult playing with keyboard and mouse. And I had the same frustration with the inventory screen - it's even harder to target an item in the corner with the mouse. Waiting for my USB Xbox converter in the ma...  [Read More]

I'm finding this game rather difficult - I'm still waiting for an adapter for my gamepad, so I'm still using keyboard controls, and I'm finding it really frustrating. Aiming is difficult, so I get wailed on by censors quite a bit. And now I'm trying...  [Read More]

Hmm EBGames site has moved back ship date of the PC version - again - to 4/21/2005. Wonder what's going on. I wrote them an email to see what's up, but no response yet. On another note - the demo played beautifully on my system, which just grazes...  [Read More]

DOH! You're so right. How embarrassing - after spending 10 minutes straight retracing my steps looking for every PSI card, and wailing on the outhouse door...... Wonder why my default solution there was the violent one.......  [Read More]

Absolutely loved it. I thought it was going to be one of those games that I could hold off purchasing for a while. But immediately after I finished the demo (the first time), I logged on and bought the darn thing. Why is there a $20 difference betwe...  [Read More]
