Taking games to the "fourth dimension"

User Rating: 7.9 | Blinx: The Time Sweeper XBOX
As of yet this is the only game I have seen that has been able to sucessfully pull off the use of a time control schema. It brings in a new and interesting perspective to the adventure game.
You run about the levels as a cute and cuddley rabbit type creature by the name of Blinx, sucking up random items throughout with your trusty "time sweeping" vacuum cleaner. You then can blast these items back out at your foes to kill them. Some of us might recognize this as a not so thinly veiled rip off from our favorite pink puff who goes by the name of Kirby! But nevertheless Blinx manages to pull it off in his own style. Also by sucking up colored time control bits you gain the ability to temporarily change the way time flows. For example you might gain enough bits to rewind, advance, or pause time a few seconds, after which the game world continues on as if nothing had happened. You'll find these particularly usefull when solving some of the games mini puzzles (required to continue on through the level) or when battling the various monsters.
The controls come faily naturally, graphics are nice, and overall gameplay is fun. Well worth the invested money and time!
