Chris Buffa (Modojo): The 90s gave birth to some of the greatest characters in gaming, from the thrill-seeking Lara Croft to the super speedy Sonic the Hedgehog. Chief among them? Crash Bandicoot, a fun-loving critter that quickly became the face of Sony's PlayStation console. He starred in some of the coolest games for the system, titles that (as some will argue) stood side-by-side with the best Mario and Sonic had to offer during this period. Let's also not forget about Crash Team Racing, a game that gave the Mario Kart series serious competition.
For many, the game became the sound of the 90s – but Josh Mancell tells us how the music for PlayStation’s first mascot game originated in Kraft cheese and Kraftwerk
Brendan O’Brien, the voice actor behind the original Crash Bandicoot and several other characters featured in the classic Naughty Dog trilogy of games on PlayStation, died on March 23.
Have you ever wondered what the best year in gaming was? Well wonder no more! The British public have had their say, and voted for 1996.
I have some many fond memories as a 10 year old gamer from back then! The best of times!
