This week we're celebrating 20 years of Xbox by diving deep into original Xbox classic Blinx: The Time Sweeper. We'll also be looking at Xbox's search for a family friendly mascot, the great success story that is Xbox's backwards compatibility program and the highs and painful lows of Naoto Ohshima's work in the industry.
