Gaming Nexus writes: "I'll be completely honest with you; I haven't played a Crash Bandicoot game since the second game on the original PlayStation back in the mid-1990s. It's not that I disliked Naughty Dog's smart-mouthed mascot character; it's that the Mario and Sonic series seemed to be doing the exact same thing, only better. I looked forward to taking Crash: Mind Over Mutant a spin, if only to see if the series brought back good memories. What I found wasn't exactly nostalgic, but it's also not the worst platformer on the Xbox 360 either. It's somewhere in the middle, which is exactly where I would expect a Crash Bandicoot game to be.
The Crash that I remember was a linear action game that had you running through narrow levels collecting fruit and spinning around. I was surprised to find out that this new Crash Bandicoot features larger levels with a lot more variety. And while in some ways this is a good thing, the result ultimately feels a lot less like the old school Crash and more like a cheap Jak & Daxter rip-off. Any way you look at it, Mind Over Mutant is an average action game peppered with a few moments of brilliance."
Lex: How about let’s take a trip back to memory lane and see what were the best main Crash games.
Crash 3 Warped, and 2 are my favs for the main games
Crash Team Racing is amazing and Crash Bash is fun
Twinsanity And Ctr are my favorites (And still playing CTR from time to time). Not the biggest fan of the first 3 games,. Not that they are bad, But I rather play something like rayman legends or mario. They often have better precision to the platforming, and 60 fps has a lot to do with it. Also easier to get a sense of speed with those games while crash is a bit limited with his abilites.
Missed heaps of games including Crash Purple on GBA, Racing titles, Crash Bash and Crash Boom Bang on DS
2014 has seen renewed requests from gamers to bring back the once loved platforming icon, Crash Bandicoot, and A Pixelated View wants to find out why.
Last good game for me was Twinsanity
The music and gameplay was fantastic...plus Cortex in that game was hilarious
"It's true...blondes do have more fun"
For me crash never fell, I only played crash the ones naughty made, when other took the franchise it wasnt the same anymore.
These are the only Crash games that I've ever played and I plan on keeping it that way to keep my good memories of him.

GamesAsylum rounds up the best deals on the Xbox 'Games on Demand' service
Oh dear these prices are awful, and that on offer?
Steam has the right idea when it comes to sales, these are old games
They aren't on offer. These are the usual prices which are vastly cheaper than buying these games at retail.
