beat streak

No, I don't mean "beating the stick streak". I mean that I'm on a game beating streak. I recently finished Destroy All Humans and Psychonauts.

Destroy All Humans, eh, was an okay game. The only thing fun in this game was blowing shit up and killing people. The action missions were fantastic, but the other portions of the game like stealth missions and minigames were just so boring.

As for Psychonauts, this is one awesome game. I can't believe that this was scrapped, but was later picked up by Majesco. I forgot the company that ditched it, but shame on them for giving up on a great title. This game comes from the mind of Tim Schafer, creator of Full Throttle and other great PC titles. The humor is right on (even though it slowly dies towards the end), the level design is fantastic, the characters are memorable; the entire game is fun to play.
