Earlier this year, Tim Schafer's Double Fine earned headlines for its record-breaking Kickstarter campaign. Today, Sony announced that the company's first game, the 2005 cult classic Psychonauts, will be releasing as a downloadable game on PSN as part of the PlayStation 2 Classics program.

The game will release on PSN next Tuesday, August 28. If you've not played it, it's an extremely creative and unique platformer about Raz, a teen that with the ability to enter the minds of other (sometimes extremely disturbed) characters in the game.

Keep telling myself I'm gonna play this game some day....yeahhhh someday...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the PS2 version a lot more buggy than the Xbox and PC versions? If it is, then I wonder if those issues will be addressed. Do they even fix bugs on PSOne and PS2 classics? Just goes to show how much I know.

good PlayStation2 to download PSN Classics good

Cool! Can't wait to play it for the first time... but I heard that the PS2 version was not as good as the xbox version.

I'm totally going to get this the second the store updates. I just wish there were more gems like this going into PS2 Classics.

I've never played this game. Maybe I should fix that...
by Still_Insane22 Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 09:01 PM

It's about mothereffing time. Not the developers, but now an opportunity to play this game has presented itself.
by Keyes Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 09:10 PM

Well this is great news as I never finished the game.
by Romars Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 09:27 PM

I have this on PC, but I haven't bothered loading it up because my supposedly better than okay laptop ran freaking limbo choppy. My whole Indie bundle going to waste.
by Zebra3 Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 09:28 PM

I've got this game in my PS2 right now and I've been slowly working my way through it.
by NinjaQ9000 Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 09:33 PM

I heard only good things about this game I'm defiantly picking this up.
by PlushMonkey985 Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 09:57 PM

This is my favorite game and after I buy it on PSN it will be my third time purchasing it digitally. They just need to release the sequel and I can die happily.
by PlushMonkey985 Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 09:57 PM

Also, some of the best characters in a game
by sealsaa Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 09:58 PM

I'd love to play it on the Vita. I'm not really big on playing platformers on the big screen for some reason.
by ZombiManos Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 10:04 PM

Everyone who has only heard good things but hasn't played this game owes it to themselves to give it a try. Especially if you love platformers. This is still in my top 5 of the 2000's. Pure love and passion for games all over this one.
by shmahadle Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 10:32 PM

LOVED this game. The thing I hated was the ending, it just ended; I couldn't go back to finish missions, find collectibles, or even a Ratchet & Clank-style restart.
by beandipdragon101 Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 10:58 PM

I've wanted this for so long!
by Shawn Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 11:03 PM

Cool! But I already got it on Steam a little while ago. Though... the sound "hiccups" on my computer for some reason I can't solve. Other than that it's great. Might've been nice to wait for this version if I knew it was coming.

Of course, I'd already played this once before on PS2. It's really great, though the platforming/camera combo can be a bit off at times--especially at the very end.
