Activision may have tried to put Crash Bandicoot out to pasture, but two die-hard fans are bringing him back in a new adventure called Crystal’s Wrath.
Crash Bandicoot will always be my hero.
I grew up at the height of the Mario and Sonic feud and was the odd one out who preferred Crash Bandicoot, mostly because I had a PlayStation. I’ve never played Super Mario 64 – no, my youth was spent in the virtual outback hunting crystals and gems and guys with Ns on their heads. Being a lifelong fan, I followed Crash into the next generations (after the series went multi-platform and was out of developer Naughty Dog’s hands). I’m even in the minority that believes the last game (Crash: Mind Over Mutant) was pretty good. After greenlighting a reboot of the franchise, Activision up and killed the series to focus on more profitable titles like Call of Duty. So for the past four years I’ve been waiting for the triumphant return of the marsupial, to no avail.
Then I discovered Crash Bandicoot: Crystal’s Wrath.
For many, the game became the sound of the 90s – but Josh Mancell tells us how the music for PlayStation’s first mascot game originated in Kraft cheese and Kraftwerk
Brendan O’Brien, the voice actor behind the original Crash Bandicoot and several other characters featured in the classic Naughty Dog trilogy of games on PlayStation, died on March 23.
Have you ever wondered what the best year in gaming was? Well wonder no more! The British public have had their say, and voted for 1996.
I have some many fond memories as a 10 year old gamer from back then! The best of times!
So…. Nevermind the first time Resident Evil or Tomb Raider was released, a damn near arcade perfect port of Tekken 2, Quake, Wipeout, Crash Bandicoot, Super Mario RPG, Nights, Panzer Dragoon Zwei? It’s shitty cuz the old N64 is it?
More of a 97 person myself.
FF7, Symphony of the Night, Gran Turismo, Grand Theft Auto, Dynasty Warriors, Diablo, Fallout, Tomb Raider 2, Mega Man Legends, GoldenEye, Turok, Wing Commander Prophecy, Star Fox 64, Einhander, Tobal 2, Bushido Blade, Colony Wars, Ultima Online. Was a great year to start working at Funcoland.

2013 was a good year too. Dead Space 3, The Last of Us, GTA5, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Tomb Raider reboot, Bioshock Infinite, Batman: Arkham Origins, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Grid 2 & more.
Dead Space 3? That game only deserves to be on rock-bottom lists. In my honest opinion.
Its is very Marmite that game but to me it was only that love story nonsense that was bad, really bad.
woah this looks cool. Seems odd that they dont have a website i can only find a facebook page :/
Sony need to hire these guys, buy the rights to Crash, throw money at them and release this on the PS4.
The Playstation needs its mascot back. It's like Mario not being with Nintendo.
Title is a little misleading.... Im going to go cry now :,(
