Modern Psionics

My local tabletop group is getting bored with our current game, so we decided to try something new. We tossed around a few genre ideas, and we really latched on to the idea of a modern psionics game.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to come up with many games that are centered around that concept. Can anyone give us a few games offering modern-day psionics? (EDIT: We're looking for a game that offers a setting with this concept built-in, rather than a rule system to support it.)

I know we could build something with GURPS or Fate (or even just re-label the magic of some other game as "psionics"), but I'd really like to look at something that has a pre-designed setting built entirely (or at least, significantly) around the idea.

We've already come up with the following:

- Conspiracy X, Witchcraft, other Unisystem games
- D20 Modern (offered in some of the sample campaigns)
- NWoD (offered in Second Sight, offered as an alternative setting in one of the Mage: the Awakening books, somewhat rehashed in the new rules)

We also reviewed the options presented on the "Psionics (role-playing games)" page on Wikipedia. Any other ideas?

Re: Modern Psionics

Dungeons and Dragons has a 3.0/3.5(I forget which) psionics hand book. It can be interesting to look through. Though if I remember right it was basically a renamed magic system.

Re: Modern Psionics

Pathfinder also has psionic rules (3rd party).
