NyxQuest looks interesting, I would try it but one small detail that annoys me is holding me back. I like Greek mythology and Nyx is the goddess of the night, one of my favorite Greek gods and the mother of my 2 favorites the gods of death(Thanatos/Moros) and slumber(Hypnos). I just can't get over the fact that they turned her into a little girl with wings, especially since she's such a badass that Zeus was afraid of her.

well if it helps, I wouldn't take the game seriously. More like a loose personal interpretation.
Also, perhaps they aren't the same characters but the name was borrowed? It's not really elaborated as to who Nyx actually is. Just that she's a friend of Icarus in this particular game.
However, Nyx from the game is pretty badass, too.
It's a seriously wonderful game that's cleverly designed and really utilizes the motion controls in ways that really add to the gameplay rather that force some motion into a game. More developers should take a hint from the guys at Over The Top Studios. It's amazing how 4 guys from Spain created one of the best Wiiware... (In my opinion, Wii games, period)

Psychonauts on the PS2 and Xbox - BEST platformer I have ever played, hands down. It's because of stuff like this and Grim Fandango that I can't wait for Brutal Legend.
Valkyria Chronicles on the PS3 - corny characters and story but one of my favorite strategy RPGs. Plus, they gave all your recruitable characters back stories and personalities rather than just making them generic soldiers guys. Love that.
The Shin Megami series - My favorite RPG series. The Persona games are just magical... |

And on the PC... which is were I'm thinking of getting it. However I'm being patient on this one. I have too many games to currently beat.

Ooh, I didn't read the OP's post on the first page. Majora's Mask is my favorite Zelda.
