    Actually, I hope he is "over". I'd rather remember him for his PS1 heyday than for the bastardization that is Titans.

    Dude, the real Crash Bandicoot died after C|rash Bandicoot 3.
    Wrath of Neo was the killing blow.
    Everything after was just hitting the dead Bandicoot with a stick...

    The first few games were really good platformers for their time, but sony tried too hard to turn him into their Mario and he got spun off into a bunch of crap. If they could bring Crash back in his former glory I'd like to see more, but I'm not really sure how viable the genre is anymore. Even mario had to do something radically different to stay relevant.

    Hope so.

    Seriously. Let. It. Die. Along with the Spyro franchise, the new games just suck. They need to stop. Let it be remembered for the good old games. Some franchises need to die.

    Crash Bandicoot? I liked it better when he was called Sonic the Hedgehog.

    If you are an old Crash fan watch this and you will hope that they stop destroying a great franchise.

    I don't want the franchise to be over, I want it to be taken back to the original style games. Although to be honest, it is crash fans fault that the games have gone the way they've gone. It all went wrong when people criticized the wrath of cortex. The wrath of cortex was a good game. It wasn't up to the same standard as Warped, but Warped is one of the best games ever, it was never going to be as good as that. It's a good solid fun game, but people criticized the hell out of it, and forced the developers to try drastically new things, like twinsanity and crash of the titans.

    @Otacon: Holy crap... That was awful. :|

    I really enjoyed the wrath of cortex as well, Matty. I rather see the Crash franchise left alone though.

    Uhh... didn't Activision just stop supporting a whole bunch of big games such as Tim Schafer's Brutal Legend, the Ghostbusters game, World in Conflict 2, among others, so they could focus on the Crash, Spyro, and Ice Age franchises? I'm pretty sure that's what's happening, so Crash will be returning.
