    This Day in Gaming, October 7th

    1999: EA releases Xena: Warrior Princess for PS in the US. Alright readers: we want confessions. Who owns/has played this game? And how is it? Because we TOTALLY need to laugh at you...err, with you. Oh, screw it. Yes, we will probably be laughing at you.

    2002: Microsoft releases Blinx: The Time Sweeper for XBOX in the US. The game is promoted as 'The Worlds First 4D Action Game' because of its time-manipulation elements. Interestingly enough, the US version of Viewtiful Joe was released on the same day a year later. It's a BIG day for fans of time.

    2005: EA releases Black & White 2 for PC in the US. We think it should have been called Grey - not for symbolic reasons, just for faux literary-style depth. Mark Wilson
