Gamers have always loved the idea of using the Force to destroy enemies, but developers have rarely nailed the feeling we've hoped for. Star Wars games have been notoriously hit and miss, but a 2004 Midway title did a damn good job of presenting the telekinetic powers we've always wanted. While it's obviously not an official Star Wars game, it features protagonist Nick Scryer tossing scientists and soldiers around with the power of a Sith lord. We decided to revisit this hidden gem for this week's Replay.

Be sure to stick around for the second segment, in which we resurrect a popular new feature to chaotic results.

I remember my friend having this game, and we would literally just be in the training area and just spawn crap and use telekinesis with the giant construction ball. I never even saw the single player campaign, lol.

Brilliant game! Great replay Dan

So glad there's a replay of this, I always wanted to see it.

What about Second Sight? Isn't that the same thing?

I have some fond memories of Psi Ops. Sadly I don't remember most of the game.

by thejonnymar Saturday, June 30, 2012 at 09:16 AM

Awesome second feature! You should do it more often.
by Zebra3 Saturday, June 30, 2012 at 09:31 AM

Never beat this game
by LGAR Saturday, June 30, 2012 at 09:49 AM

Now that you guys have Ali there you should do some Reported :)
by scott shippert Saturday, June 30, 2012 at 09:49 AM

I've been waiting for somebody to make a sequel to this game for years! I remember spending long hours just messing around with the game's physics in the training room.
by Kill The Messenger Saturday, June 30, 2012 at 09:51 AM

Psi-Ops looked super cool with its force-like powers, and the "You're doing it Wrong" afterwards was very funny! Dan always seems to win, doesn't he?

Great Replay, you guys!
by Pherostatic Saturday, June 30, 2012 at 09:55 AM

Great Episode! Never played Psiops before, but I can see how it could've been a fun game. Awesome segment of "Your doing it wrong"; absolutely hilarious to watch you guys flounder around the chaos. The best part was Reiner getting pushed into the river, so sad yet too funny.
