I dislike all 3D platform games... from Mario, to Crash, to Jak & Dexter, to Sonic, to Conker, and I wouldnt doubt I'll dislike Blinx. Undeniably some of those games are good, with excellent reviews and such. But when I dislike a genre and its getting bad reviews, its quite sad, to me anyway. I'm just bias towards 3D platform games.

Super Mario Sunshine was a total dud from what I've heard. I remember back in the day, when it used to be a major gaming event that a Mario game was coming out. I don't think anyone even noticed Super Mario Sunshine.

I got my X-Box at home and I'm going home from college next week, so I will definitely pick up a copy of Blinx :D

Actually, SMS sold pretty well in Japan..I think it was someting like 400K in 4 days. And it also sold well in Europe too. I'm trying to find the numbers for USA sales.

Looking at the screen shots from the review, does that game look gay or what?

gayer then super mario sunshine?


give me a break.


Bitter XBox fanboys strike again!

Who was comparing the two? As stated, the Blinx game looks gay, don't take it as a threat to your sexuality. It's funny when you have to resort to threatening another systems games though.

For the record there isn't anything out for the GameCube yet that I like.

IGN cites the figure as 1 million units sold (not shipped) worldwide to date. I thought I saw an article state that it was driving console sales as well (probably due to the bundle), but I can't find it right now.

Bah. Mario Sushine was merely ok. The whole series went downhill from yoshi's island, that is, and will always be, the greatest mario game ever created.
