I’d say these reasons: 1: It’s a fairly harmless and cartoony weapon. 2: It’s a ranged weapon, but also more balanced, because despite having infinite ammo, it has a very natural cooldown. 3: It’s fairly easy to program 4: It’s fairly versatile as it can retrieve items and stuff 5: Somewhat easy to use as they often cover a good amount of stuff in an arc And 6: It looks somewhat cool in action.

Every time you upload a video on a 3D platformer part of me thinks "hurray! He played another platformer!" and anotherp art of me thinks "Oh no, I hope this isn't the last one. There aren't THAT many 3D platformers...." and yet you still manage to find these absolutely obscure games and I love it! You, NitroRad, seem like one of the only other people I've seen that has the same level of appreciation for 3D platformers as I do and it's really awesome to see that. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see what 3D adventure you'll take us on next =)

I have noticed something that's very common with B grade platformers, a Good chunk of them use character transformations. I find it cool, but also frustrating whenever they don't add anything substantial to the plot. It's like, "Oh I can turn into monsters now, okay then." I also find it as a bit of an annoying crutch kind of like how you feel about Vehicle sections in Platformers. I could think of many other different ways to unlock hidden secrets. My Current idea would be like gather up a bunch of animals, the gather about at your feet and kind of travel with you like Silver stars from, Super Mario 64 DS, Can't be hurt but can be lost. They wouldn't be to hard to grab. After you get a certain number would have them bust into the secrets. And for other sections like the gliding sections of this game, why not hold onto a pteranodon or something like that.

Tell you the truth. This game as a child made my days. As a child I mean so dumb that I barely could understand the tutorials. So maby I was a little too young for it. But a few years ago my friend cleaned dust off his old Xbox and took his little cousin to play tork. It fascinated that bratt as much as it fascinated me. So I realized that tork is actually, a kids game. I know mind blowing. Lmao.

It's a game that simply started as a joke, but then somehow managed to evolve into something truly amazing and worth playing. The music, writing, and game play are all spot on and you'll have as much fun enjoying the story as you will fighting enemies. Seriously, play it. You won't regret it.

I don't particularly remember them being good (in fact I barely remember them at all) but there must be a reason why there's 25 games in the series of which the latest is but 2 years old. And there must also be a reason why I haven't heard anything about the series even though just two years ago they released a game.

Always was kinda curious about this game as one of the rare Xbox-exclusive platformers... funnily enough, Blinx had a bunch of game demos and trailers tucked away on its disc and this was one of many. IIRC it got billed for a late 2003 release there too. Anyway - suffice to say I'm excited for the next review! You always do a really great job with your critique, even for the most obscure games. :D
