In a manner not too dissimilar to that of Futurama’s TV chef Elzar, we’re going to take it up a notch here: BAM!

The world of free games just welcomed a new son into its midst, one full of psychics, violence, a crap story and some of the best pure fun you can have in a game – Psi Ops is being given away for free. This, friends, is a wonderful thing.

The game only came out a few years ago, so as well as a fairly hefty download size, you’re also looking at system requirements that not everyone can hack – though if you bought your PC within the last Ice Age you should be fine to set off on your merry Mindgate Conspiracy way.

There’s a story behind the game, but it’s sub-80s action flick shit. There’s a game to follow, but it’s pretty basic. The meat comes in the shape of the psychic powers that let you pick things up and throw them around, with your brain. A fire extinguisher? Done. A barrel? Done. A man? Done. Throw shit everywhere, use paving slabs to air-surf, throw people at walls for a laugh – this game covers all your most devilish ‘I wish I had psychic powers’ fantasies.

Did we mention you can blow heads up too? With the power of your mind? No? Oh. Well you can. And if you don’t laugh at that then you’re an idiot.

For what it was at the time, Psi Ops was worth picking up on the cheap for some decent laughs. When it gets released for free (even if it is ‘ad supported’) it’s near-essential. A fantastic game to unwind to, infinitely cathartic and criminally overlooked back in the day.
