Crash

It’s the mid 1990s. You’re one of the chosen few, a lucky little bastard whose parents decided to you you a PlayStation home video game console. At the time, the launch line-up for that console was the stuff of dreams: Resident Evil, RayMan and Ridge Racer to name a few. But a few months later, the PlayStation would get its killer game: Crash Bandicoot.

It was stupidly fun stuff, leveraging the best of that console’s capabilities to create something magical. The Crash Bandicoot love would roll on for a few more years, eventually crashing (teehee) and burning as the character was left to rot on a pile. But you never forget the first time you clobbered some crates and collected ALL of the power-ups, a feeling that a brand new generation will get to feel soon.

Although I might just dig out the PlayStation that Matty’s mom threw out and give the original a whirl again. Now where’d I put those weird audio-visual cables?

In Other News: Halo Wars 2 spins some new story, Titanfall 2 is still struggling and Crackdown 3 is this much closer to finally having a release date.

Here’s the news that we didn’t post today because CRASH! AH-HAAAAA! SAVIOUR OF THE PLAYSTATION!

        I suppose if you choke Crash long enough he might turn blue. You know, behind all that fur of his…

    If Titanfall 2 also fails EA is probably going to say: “See, it doesn’t make a difference if there’s a Single Player mode as well.”
    No, no EA. It’s just that few people want your games anymore.
