Yes, but Blinx sounds truly innovative. It's also putting the Xbox hard drive to good use:
"Actually control the flow of time, a feature only possible on Xbox. Record actions, play them back and have dual characters cooperate to complete challenges. Throw the world into slow motion while moving about in real-time, fast-forward to achieve goals more quickly, or even rewind the world to gain additional opportunities at completing challenges, opening hidden areas and more."
Also, did anyone notice that Microsoft completely dominated the 'Best Orignial Game' category?

Best Original Game
Psychonauts
(Double Fine Productions/Microsoft for Xbox)
Tim Schafer is a man so creative that we’re almost inclined to kick him out of the gaming industry. Why? The bottom line is that he makes everyone else’s games look so damn derivative. In Psychonauts, Schafer has concocted a circus-like hodgepodge of zany characters and game environments to tell the story of Raz, a gifted little lad who must have just missed the application deadline to Professor Xavier’s school for the gifted. As a result, Raz is apparently shipped off to psychic summer camp to develop his psychic abilities, in the hopes that he one day might become a Psychonaut. At psychic summer camp, psychic-wannabe Raz can earn special psychic merit badges, one of we hope might be a badge that decrees a moratorium on the use of the word psychic in the game. But seriously, things get interesting when Raz gets to jump into the minds of 16 individuals at the nearby insane asylum, and in turn use his psychic abilities like firestarting and invisibility to defeat some real inner-demons. The third person action adventure gameplay is a departure from Schafer’s previous work, but his trademark originality is still here in spades.

That's a good thing, the videogame industry needs more original titles. |
