Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko vs Sonic Colors

Gex discovers that the villain Rez has kidnapped Agent Xtra, the head of the TV Terrorist Defense Unit, and teleports into the Media Dimension’s batcave‑like lair. Each level is presented as a standalone television channel that parodies a different aspect of TV culture, and Gex must enter through a TV set to progress. The game blends classic 3D platforming with tongue‑in‑cheek humor, requiring players to collect remote controls to unlock the next channel and ultimately save Xtra. Developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Eidos Interactive, it offers a single‑player experience rated T for teens.

Sonic Colors is a platforming adventure starring Sonic the Hedgehog as he battles Dr. Eggman in an intergalactic amusement park. The game blends 3D third‑person runs with side‑scrolling sections and introduces Wisps, alien power‑ups that grant new abilities. Released worldwide for Wii and Nintendo DS in November 2010, the title offers both single‑player and multiplayer modes, appealing to younger gamers and families with its colorful visuals and accessible difficulty.
