going to come to life later this month, according to sources familiar
with the Mountain View, Calif-based company's plans... The second step in Google's game-focused advertising strategy will take
place in December, when the company will, I'm told, will offer an
ad-supported version of the PC game Psychonauts. The "gamer's game" from veteran adventure game designer Tim Schaefer and
co-written by Erik "Old Man Murray" Wolpaw is now "out of print" and
can only be downloaded via Valve's Steam network."
