Every time I met one guy, who was hiding behind a pane of glass, I chortled right before I plucked him up with my mind-fingers and smashed him straight through the glass. Psi-Ops is one of those glorious games in which individual enemies took on personalities not by virtue of any lines of dialogue or unique animations, but simply because they had memorable deaths. They're both games that use ragdoll physics and environmental kills to elevate themselves. It occupies a booth in my mind that only Dark Messiah is allowed to visit.
The level design was dull, the enemies were about as smart as a sack of potatoes, and the plot was a load of old bollocks, but, damn, I love Psi-Ops. You can drag people around and throw them into bizarrely exposed machine-works using the power of your mind but this is serious business. Physics-based comedy games are ten a penny these days but there's nothing to compare with Psi-Ops, which is utterly hilarious purely by virtue of the fact that it's not a comedy game. A game about psychic special forces commando Nick Scryer in his mission to stop The Movement in their insane pursuit of ultimate power.
