Alright, here is the story. My sister gets addicted easily to game (she played Portal for 2 months, and only in the story mode, no custom maps), and she has already played Psychonauts for 6 months. And I'm getting tired of it. Now, I need a game to stop her annoying me with it, so I need a game similar to it at least in the ages meant for it. Oh, and it's for PC BTW, we don't own consoles.

Games she has played:
Psychonauts
Portal
Grim Fandango
Crayon Physics Deluxe

Hmm...Overlord and Overlord 2? Written by Terry Pratchett's daughter, very fun and has a very very loose idea of puzzles.

I'm thinking about vaguely kid-friendly games, so how old is she?

What systems do you have?

Edit: Bah, failure by me to read that last sentence.
I'm not really up on pc gaming, so I can't help here.

Ohhh tough one.....

First of all dont lissen to Darth Pixie..... Overlord was..... annoyingly bad.... so very very bad...

Based upon your selection the ones i can remember for now are Limbo, Trine and Costume Quest....

One is for Xbox, and the other two are avaiable to PS3 and PC....

World of Goo is really good, and Braid is absolutely beautiful, but they can get frustrating some times. If she likes RPGs you can't go wrong with Torchlight, that would keep her busy for a while.

And if she likes music then Audiosurf is a must. Possibly Beat Hazard and Bit.Trip Beat as well, but again, those can be sort of frustrating.

Oh, and maybe Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. It's no where near as wacky, but I can see a few gameplay similarities to Psychonauts.

Get her on Titan Quest if you can, that can eat a thousand hours of her life easily.
