Vexx was one of the few games I figured how to play without knowing English and being so young, I was probably five when I had the chance to play and it was so interesting the sounds, the style, the day and night cycle, the portals, the powers everything sounded so unique and fun to play! It was sad to grow up and discover it was labeled as a "Mario rip-off". It was one of my favorites at the time for sure!

I remember playing this game back in my childhood, it was one of my favourite games on the PS2, Vexx is a truly unique 3D platforming game that presents a great amount of challenge, in my opinion, its what you get if you combined Super Mario 64 and dark souls together, I love almost everything from this game from the story, worlds, creatures and the game mechanics. This game has a truly special place in my heart, as I get older, I revisit this game only having joy and appreciation that a game like this was made and I got to grow up with it in my happiest moments of life.

Shadow the Hedgehog
Shadow the HedgehogThe world is in peril as forces, both good and evil, make a play for the powerful Chaos Emeralds. In Shadow the Hedgehog, you can control Shadow and choose which side to fight for. This 3D platformer lets you use weapons, vehicles, environmental objects, and time and space manipulation to combat your foes. Although it is a 3D platform game as with the more recent Sonic Adventure games, the game's levels each feature up to three different missions (Hero, Dark, Normal) that the player may choose to complete. The game's plot depends on which mission is completed as well as subsequent playable levels. The game stars Shadow the Hedgehog and his quest to recover his memory, a goal he has been pursuing since his debut in Sonic Adventure 2, while an evil alien race known as the Black Arms is invading the planet.
