Story:Spyro: A Hero's Tail is the fifth console game in the original Spyro series and the ninth game in the series in all. Developed by Eurocom, it was the first game in the series for the Xbox, as well as the second game in the series for the PlayStation 2 and GameCube (with the former console release being the only one of the three to support widescreen). It is also the final installment in the original Spyro continuity for home consoles. This is also the first and only Spyro game to be completely produced in Europe.
The game introduces a new antagonist, Red, a former Dragon Elder banished years before the events of the game, and sees the protagonist, Spyro the Dragon, attempt to defeat him with the aid of his best friend Sparx, Hunter the Cheetah, flying penguin Sgt. Byrd, and mole Blink, who are all playable.Show more

This is the best non-Insomniac Spyro game. It's not perfect, Spyro's jumps are floaty and some of the other characters control awkwardly, particularly Blink. On top of that, this game has a few bugs which had me scratching my head as a kid, particularly the map filling bug for Stormy Beach. Despite some of these gripes I have, this 6th gen 3D platformer is a good time. I replayed it as an adult after not having touched it for over a decade and despite not finishing it, I was shocked by how well it held up despite the jankiness, and I actually enjoyed it more as an adult than I did as a kid. I do have to admit though the writing doesn't hold up, these are def 2000s jokes alright.
This game desperately needs a rerelease imo. I think it would be a decent game to play for anyone new to Spyro who liked Reignited and wants more of the purple dragon. I have no idea if we'll ever get a Spyro 4 or not, so I think a rerelease of this game would be a good compromise. A rerelease would also be a great chance to fix some bugs, if possible ofc.

Gex: Enter the Gecko"Is it just me, or am I engulfed in flames?" is one of the many one-liners uttered by Gex, a wise cracking gecko who should check himself into television rehab; he's addicted to it. After saving the Television Realm from the evil Rez in his first adventure, the gecko was ready to kick back, relax, and watch a little television. Little did he know his adventure was just beginning.
One day, two secret agent goons showed up at Gex's doorstep. They inform him that Rez is back and looking for vengeance; the evil monster is planning to destroy the Television Realm once more...and possibly the world. When Gex tells them that he's retired and doesn't care, one of the goons hits the gecko on the head and takes him to a secluded place.
When Gex comes to, the mystery men plead with the gecko to take the cash and help destroy Rez for good...or at least make him disappear. With that incentive (the cash), the wise cracking lizard slips into his special agent suit and plunges headfirst into the Television Realm. Watch out, Rez -- Gex is back!Action Comedy
