Rich decides to fire up the Gex trilogy on his PS5 for the first time and gets stuck in the Media Dimension [LITERALLY] !

The Gex Trilogy bundles together three games starring Gex, a wisecracking, TV-obsessed gecko who battles the villainous Rez across a surreal media-themed universe. Originally released in the '90s, the trilogy includes:

1. Gex (1995)

Gex lives a laid-back life in his Maui mansion, glued to his television. But when he accidentally swallows a robotic fly—actually a surveillance drone sent by Rez—he’s sucked into the Media Dimension, a bizarre world built from TV tropes. To escape, Gex must collect remote controls and battle Rez’s minions across levels inspired by horror, sci-fi, and cartoons.

2. Gex: Enter the Gecko (1998)

After defeating Rez, Gex retires—until the villain resurfaces. Government agents recruit Gex to return to the Media Dimension. With new gadgets and a bigger budget, Gex explores 3D levels parodying pop culture, from kung fu flicks to Looney Tunes. This entry marked the series’ jump to full 3D platforming and introduced Agent Xtra, a secret agent who assists Gex on his mission.

3. Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko (1999)

Rez is back again, and this time he’s kidnapped Agent Xtra. Gex dives back into the Media Dimension to rescue her, navigating levels themed around war movies, superhero adventures, and spy thrillers. The game added new mechanics like vehicle segments and sidekicks, while doubling down on Gex’s signature one-liners and TV references.

The trilogy is known for its quirky humour, genre-spoofing levels, and Gex’s endless stream of pop culture quips. With the 2025 remastered release by Limited Run Games, players can now revisit this nostalgic trip through television history on modern platforms.
