Nintendo diehards probably never had a chance to play the original Crash games, most of them I knew looked down their noses on the bandicoot from their lofty, free-roaming 3D platformer thrones. They were right in a way, Crash Bandicoot was no Mario, but his games were something else entirely.

There's a golden glow around memories that gets brighter with age, but it also tends to distract from old frustrations. If you're ready for a quick trip - and I mean quick - down memory lane, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy doesn't disappoint.

The list of ports for the Nintendo Switch recently increased by not one title, but three in the form of the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. While the arguments around ports on the Switch do have some salient points, given the age of the titles here, and the fact that they were never available on...

Reviewing remasters is always difficult because you're essentially critiquing two entirely unconnected things: the quality of the remaster itself and whether the original game still stands up to scrutiny.

High quality remaster that improves everything from the graphics to the controls; Good value for money and Crash still has a lot of charm

It's weird to think of something as straightforward as moving around in a 3D space being a technical challenge, but that was absolutely the case, as the flood of...

While it's not as though this is the first time that Crash Bandicoot has been on a Nintendo platform, the same can't be said of his original trilogy of games. The first three Crash Bandicoot games (Crash BandicootCrash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, and Crash Bandicoot: Warped) were all...

Oh the 90s. As Mario and Sonic shot to fame as the mascots for their consoles, they left a plethora of inferior 2d platformers and in their wake. Zool, Busby, Cool Spot and a number of others all tried and failed to capture the top notch gameplay of Nintendo and Sega's flagship games, not to mention...
