This is the best game about a time manipulating cat who saves a world from evil space pigs ever made. Of course, it might also be one of the only ones (ignoring the sequel, that one is also okay though).
I used to play this game all the time (almost non-stop) between 2014 and 2020, finding new ways to break the game (with glitches/bugs) and exploring almost every single triangle in every single stage (this game doesn't use quads before anyone tries to correct me!)
The visuals hold up really well for a game from 2002 and the character designs are great. When you know what you're doing, blasting through the levels can be really fun (speedrunners have even managed to beat the game in under an hour!)
This game has a very scrunkly funky wunky little mascot guy. The gameplay is very challenging even with a controller that can move fast diagonally like you see in speedruns, the music slaps, and the character designs are great (thank you Naoto Ohshima!). Having it available on every xbox model is also a big plus!
Shoutout to the Blinx Corps discord
This game is very dear in my heart, not only is the game very fun along it’s unique mechanic, “Time Control”, but it’s like others said challenging but not too bad once you got the right Time Crystal Combo and a good layout of the map! I really enjoyed fighting Time Monsters, Time Bosses, and the occasional Tom-Tom.
Blinx be cute as heck and I would seriously recommend to anyone who either has Game Pass or if they can get their hands on a disc copy! 🐱⏱️
This 3d platformer game is unrivaled and has never been released on anything other than the xbox.
For some reason I can't buy the original version in my country so I would be happy if it was ported to pc.
I played this on my Xbox with my brother when I was I child. God we loved this! First the design is beautiful, the game was very hard and we probably never finished it! We are cat lovers, you can tell why we loved Blinx! We've been talking about trying to play this again for ages! Now that we're both 33+ yo it's due for having those good memories again

Road RunnerThe player takes on the role of the Road Runner - from the much-loved Warner Bros. cartoon series - and must outrun and outsmart the villainous Wile E. Coyote, in this abstract sideways-scrolling racing game from Atari. A variety of traps and pitfalls await the Road runner (such as a cannon, land mines, cliff-top drop etc.) which must be carefully avoided. It is possible, however, to lure Wile E. Coyote into these traps to put some valuable distance between the Road Runner and his pursuer. Road Runner must also eat the piles of seed that appear at various points throughout the stages, as missing five bird seeds will cause Road Runner to faint and result in the player losing a life.
Road Runner's colourful, beautifully-drawn graphics capture the spirit and humour of the legendary cartoons perfectly. The music and sound effects are also faithful to the cartoon series.Action Comedy

Rainbow Islands RevolutionThis is an updated version of Rainbow Islands, the sequel to Bubble Bobble, taking the form of a platform game where the player must ascend through vertical levels that are slowly sinking into the ocean. The objective of the source material is to reach the top of each level, taking out any enemies in the way by firing magical rainbows that can trap or eliminate foes as well as providing bridges for the player to walk on. Rainbows remain onscreen for a short amount of time but can be ?broken? by the player if they jump on them. Once broken, the rainbow will fall off the screen, taking out the first enemy it touches. The game also features a pleasing bonus item system where dispatched enemies leave behind items of food that have varying point values and power-ups that have a range of helpful effects. The major feature of this re-interpretation is shifting the entire game away from traditional controls by implementing a global touchscreen control system which radically alters the way in which the game plays. The game is also displayed across both screens of the DS. Rather than being fired by a button press, rainbows are now drawn directly onto the gameplay area using the stylus and movement is executed by dragging the player?s character around the levels. The objective is still to reach the top of the level, but the time limit has been extended to account for the player being unable to move and use rainbows simultaneously. Rainbows are now broken by pressing the stylus onto them.Action
