If any game ever needed a sequel, this is the one.
Arguably one of Midway’s best games, Psi-Ops: the Mindgate Conspiracy was the story of Nick Scryer, a psi-operative trying to uncover a secret plot to destroy the world while uncovering his memories at the same time. With gameplay based on various psychic powers and good ol’ fashion guns ‘n’ bullets, and a pretty good twist-laden story, this was a game that kept me enticed for hours.
"If you love Midway's arcade classics as much as I do then you may want to watch this new documentary that's full of interesting stories." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Still can't forget the first time I saw mortal kombat in action in a convenience store.
Had to pick up my jaw off the ground.
NBA Jam for me. Seeing those "big" heads that looked just like the player. My mind had never been so blown!
From Cinelinx:
We chat with the game director for Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy to discuss what went wrong in a game that had all the making of a great franchise.
I LOVED this game. I had so much fun just messing around with the Havoc engine, that I didn't care if I finished the game or not. I wish they would bring this and The Suffering games back for the next gen.
Loved the game. Still have it for PS2. Physics and psychic powers at the time were awesome.
But you can thank their own stupidity on finances and the scourge of EA strong arm marketing and with their buying up the NFL license that killed competition as usual and one of Midway's main bread and butter.
The article also doesn't mention that the company that ended up buying those sports franchises like NBA Jam and NFL Blitz from Midway's bankrupcy liquidation was none other than EA. Where there's evil or trouble in the industry, EA was usually behind it back then.
Would love a sequel or reboot. But that's not happening. Control will be today's only option for something like Psi-ops.
God I would kill to know what the plan for the story was in each of their heads! Tat cliffhanger was annoying. I made sure to keep my copy of this.
Great game but we can say this for hundreds of other Franchises.
Gun,Bully,Okami,Second Sight.......
Probably still has the best telekinesis powers in a game ever. Absolutely loved messing about in this game. Would love a remake/reboot one day.
We all know about the Sega Mega Drive, Super Nintendo, Atari 2600, Sony PlayStation, Xbox and many other popular consoles that have appeared in the last 40 odd years of video gaming. But as with any lucrative industry, there’s always somebody else who wants a piece of the profit pie. For every great console out there there’s another one that failed miserably and so I thought it would be great to have a look at some of the most obscure examples.
Some of these consoles have really weird looking designs and controllers, especially the View-Master Interactive Visions and Bally Astrocade.
I thought maybe 3d nintendo thing, and next year they can add stadia to that list loool. Gosh it's almost like i do it on purpose haha

One of my first games on PS2.
Looking back at the main character now reminds me of Cole McGrath...
I loved this game so much.
very great game... on PS2/PC, don't remember if it is on Xbox too.. still very great game
Whoa, didn't even think about he and Cole looking alike heh. And seriously, I really want this game to be re-released or added onto soon!
