Activision Blizzard recently decided against publishing a number of Sierra Entertainment titles after the merger with Vivendi, Sierra's parent company, was finalized. A few titles made the cut, though, and it's easy to see why. Both Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon and recognizable and established brands. That recognition is largely due to the original PlayStation, but the years have seen the due spread their wings. Crash Bandicoot is now poised for a second outing on the Nintendo Wii and the game is out on the show floor for the public to try out at this year's German Games Convention.
