Psychonauts 2 on the cards?
One of the best, if weirdest, games ever could finally be getting a sequel.

Chances are you haven't played Psychonauts. If you haven't, go check it out for PC and Mac here (it's only £5.99). It's an exuberantly deranged action-adventure/platforming game about psychic superhero kids who're jumping about inside adults minds. It's also one of those games that seemed destined never to get a follow-up, despite much public pleading and behind-the-scenes pitching by its creator Tim "Double Fine" Schafer. Except now, it seems there may be a happy ending, courtesy of Minecraft.The blocky create-and-survive indie hit's creator, Markus "Notch" Persson are apparently in talks after Notch tweeted "Lets make Psychonauts 2 happen". Since then, Double Fine have confirmed Schafer is in talks with the newly-multi-millionaire developer. So there could be a happy beginning for a Psychonauts series. So, what games would you love to see brought back from the dead?
