Thank you, but why everything gotta get mixed reviews on ma birfday, doe?! 

Honestly, I'm still silently fuming about the Lego thing ... 

Time travel is perfect for video games, because at the end of the day it's really just an excuse to use more varied environments and settings. 

The ones I've played from this list are

Turtles in Time, which I obviously remember on SNES and Arcade, but don't really think I ever got too far in. My most vivid memory from this one would be the bridge stage with the fly boss. I forget his name. I remember surfing in the sewers and dodging the Technodrome missiles as well. 

Sonic CD is one I honestly got very bored of, but that was from easily finishing it on my phone so many times. I thought the time mechanic in that one was interesting and varied the stages a little, but I honestly don't think I needed it, personally.

Ocarina of Time had a very linear reason to use the time mechanic, but it was still cool to be able to go back to the happy days before Ganon took over and the future was surprisingly dark for a family-friendly franchise. The screaming mummy things roaming around a dead Hyrule Castle Town were creepy. It was cool to see how stuff like this lead into 

Majora's Mask, which I think has some of the best story elements in a Zelda game, and I LOVED the creepy atmosphere and use of masks. To be honest, the time element was by far my least favorite thing in this game, but it was an interesting concept.

Timesplitters 4 was my #1 pick for most frustrating cancelled release, but unfortuantely I think Julian forgot to air my comment on NWP. I only played 2 on GCN, but I miss FPS games having humor, if nothing else. Monkeys traveling through time is the kind of goofy thing I wish developers would be willing to sell these days. 

Sand of Time was one I thought you'd put at the end, since the mechanic really is more about time maniulation than travel, but I see what you're saying as far as the story. I LOVED playing this on GCN, and was letdown by the "dark, gritty" sequels that I personally thought looked muddy and less interesting compared to this bright and Disney-esque adventure. 

Ghost Trick is one of my favorite games on DS, both for the time manipulation mechanic and how it works and the detective story. 

I'll have to come back later when I've required the joy middle finger giving Lego glitches have taken from me.

Right now, I'm just mad music brings happiness to others because THEY DON'T KNOW MY FIRST WORLD STRUGGLE.

Had i played online by myself that would-be me.

Well, t-shirts could just mean they like the design. Lots of misfits skull tees out there worn by kids who never heard of them

Well this study was about leisure time, so work mileage may vary. It was based on phone data , not just self report, so more reliable too boot.

Never underestimate the nostalgia a millenial can feel for a time in which they hadn't been born yet.

The adults on the other hand I find unbelievable as well. 

I brought up an article re: generational use of Internet and mobile phones on NYT to my class a while ago, and many Generation X folks were unsurprised they were found to be more buried in their phones than the previous generation, since especially younger millennials have always had this tech and don't find it near as fascinating.

Robotron 64 was fine when i played it. Then again, so was Star Wars SotE and that game's movement feels broken now.

I mostly liked the pop up book aesthetic in sorry.

Yup, and the show and the trading cards are what I honestly remember most. Well ok, the cards were the biggest thing, then the game, then the TV show for me.

This all depends on what your definition of Ys is.

I mostly just remember Halo 2 for couch multiplayer.  I was always kind of a noteable also-ran in those matches.

I saw Power Rangers. It was a mixed bag, but decently enjoyable. Basically everything critics has said was accurate. 

I could have used way more theme song ....

I could use that myself. I played the hell out of stuff like Area 51 and those extensive Jurassic Park games that had you actually in the jeep.
