Flashback Tapes are top tier challenges, puzzle rooms that push a pure platforming experience if you’re brave enough to find and play them.

COVID-19 has caused massive volatility in the stockmarket causing Disney to fall to levels that make it susceptible to acquisition

Crash Bandicoot is a beloved gaming mascot who was given a resurgence in popularity thanks to the delightful Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy remaster, and the similarly rejiggered Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fuelled. With the manic marsupial once again in favour, many hoped that we’d see a brand new Crash Bandicoot from custodian Activision, giving us further platforming adventures for a character who very nearly served as the face of the PlayStation brand, like a discount Mario.

Activision has a few more of those remasters up its sleeves. With the publisher having scant few properties under its belt other than Call of Duty right now, Activision has realised that there’s some big money to be made when they give the past a face-lift. In a recent Q&A session that the company held with its voracious stockholders as they discussed the financial earnings for the 2nd Quarter, Activision president Rob Kostich detailed how their current remasters had done well on a critical and a financial level.

Twenty years later, and Crash Team Racing is back on the trac, ready to kick some marsupial butt and leave the competition in its dust. Alessandro recently had a chance to take the game for a few laps, and believe it or not…He’s actually good at this game.

I’m starting to get a sense that video game publishers are trying (and succeeding) to cash in on your nostalgia. With that entirely unnecessary pre-amble out of the way, the latest trailer for the remake of the sublime Crash Team Racing reveals that Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled will have some more modernisation beyond just shiny graphics. You’ll be able to completely customise your karts as well as your characters.

It’s not exactly surprising to see Bitcoin drop as the fad slowly dies out, but what is fascinating is how this plunge has affected graphics card manufacturer Nvidia.

Tomorrow morning, fans will be able to book tickets for The Last Jedi’s opening day in South Africa. It’s pretty unusual that we’re afforded the opportunity to book tickets for cinematic releases a more than two months before they open, but Disney seems to understand that rewarding its biggest and most loyal fans is good business.
