Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space - Xbox Review Artoon now has a second chance to prove itself and it has taken care of all the little mistakes that were bashed with Blinx: The Time Sweeper. Artoon clearly is latching on to Blinx 2 to be a success so it can make a name for itself. Artoon did a nice job with the audio though it can be on the generic and bland side at times. www.talkxbox.com /review494.html   (1586 words)

IGN Boards - Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space Microsoft and Artoon went back to the drawing board to completely rethink Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space, giving me and Xbox platform fans worldwide the opportunity to dig into the unique sequel, and after visiting us late last week, we saw the sequel in motion. Artoon showed us a scene where a submarine emerges from the water and shoots dozens of rounds at Blinx. Artoon has streamlined the game's production in many ways too, so that players will only experience the single load time prior to a level, and then in game itself, they won't experience any others. boards.ign.com /Message.aspx?topic=61409962   (1543 words)

The MagicBox Forums - Artoon developing Blue Dragon Artoon's Takuya Matsumoto is working as the director on Blue Dragon, while Manabu Kusunoki is creating concept art. Prior to joining Artoon, Matsumoto worked as a programmer for Sega and was involved in a number of titles such as the Sega Saturn games NiGHTS Into Dreams and Burning Rangers. I think Artoon sucks as well, but given the right direction from Mistwalker it might be OK. I also really like the sound of that Shadow system. www.the-magicbox.com /forums/printthread.php?t=12666   (787 words)

WORTHPLAYING - - All about games ! Artoon’s Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space follows this tradition nicely, with it’s time-controlling cats and nutty stealth pigs. This time around, Artoon made a strong attempt at improving upon their original vision. The game can be played through normally, which is much more fun to do with a friend than taking it solo, or set on Specialist mode, where players can choose to play games focused on either fighting or manipulating time. www.worthplaying.com /article.php?sid=21854   (1261 words)

GameShark | Reviews | Blinx 2 Review Artoon's and Microsoft's second game in the series is a solid platformer that the whole family can enjoy. While Artoon's and Microsoft's sequel to the original time twisting action platformer may not break any new ground, Blinx 2 is a solid platformer that the whole family can enjoy.

With Artoon and Feel Plus already handling Sakaguchi projects of their own, it came as little surprise that AQ Interactive's press conference included the announcement of a Cavia-developed Xbox 360 project from Sakaguchi (who is a shareholder in AQ Interactive).

DISAPPOINTMENTON: Yoshi's Island 2 by Artoon - NeoGAF Heh, I don't think Artoon's work is guaranteed to be horrible, although I know everyone seems to hate good ol' Blinx. I still find it hard to imagine that Nintendo would give Artoon another Yoshi game after Topsy Turvy but then again TT was rather unconventional so there is no reason to get all too upset over this news. Yeah it's being developed by Artoon, but it's the same situation where OoS and OoA were better than what they could have been thanks to the excellent gameplay system they built up from. www.neogaf.com /forum/showthread.php?t=99883   (775 words)
