Replay – Vexx
Vexx is a beloved platformer of yesteryear developed by Acclaim Studios Austin for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube. Designed for the "hardcore" gaming audience, Vexx offered difficulty platforming and combat challenges with little in terms of checkpoints or safety nets. Most runs had to be nearly flawless if progress was to be made. Game Informer's Kyle Hilliard finds out just how punishing this game (and it's trusty camera) can be as he fails repeatedly, much to our enjoyment.
As his failure unfolds, we dive deep into Vexx's history and reviews, and uncover some terrible writing from yours truly. We then take a look at a second game that fairs much better, and ends up delighting us to no end. Thanks again for watching, and we hope you enjoy this embarrassing look back at Game Informer's past. See you in seven days!
Every week, Game Informer editors enter the vault and dust off games from every genre and platform imaginable. Watch Replay to relive fond (and not so fond) memories from gaming’s past.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
