It's a good week to catch up on some gaming during the holidays. Of course, you should be spending time with your friends and family. But what better way than with a fun session of gaming? Better yet, with a game that can bond old school and new school gamers, ages 10+. Sierra's Crash of the Titans is a game I can definitely recommend. Action-platforming, drop-in/drop-out co-op, colorful graphics and quirky characters round out a fun gaming experience. It's nice to take a break from some of the darker games out there (in both colors and settings).
I've been away from the Crash Bandicoot series since the debut on the PSone. Back in the day when he was seen as the mascot for Sony's early days of gaming. Radical Entertainment has created a nice return to Crash and crew in Crash of the Titans. It's all light-hearted fun, with some really painterly looking settings. Crash's spinning, jumping, box breaking and Aku Aku mask is there. Villainous Dr. Neo Cortex is back as well. But new to Crash of the Titans is "jacking." You'll get to control 15 of the larger and tougher enemies by hijacking them. Each comes with their own moves. For some video demos on what jacking is all about, check out these clips on JackThePower.com. Drop-in/drop-out multiplayer co-op is a highlight as well, with your fellow gamer joining in as Carbon-Crash. Jack each other while you're at it. Crash of the Titans is available on various platforms. Achievements are always a bonus on the Xbox 360 version, while the Wii version has some unique Wii controls. Some moves may take a little bit to learn, but targeting with the Wii Remote and jacking with the flick of the Wii Nunchuk is a bonus. Another cool distraction to mess with during loading time: various noses/glasses/accessories you can put on top of characters by pointing with the Wii Remote. Who hasn't had fun putting mustaches on pictures at one point? Just a little touch, but it's a fun loading time/cut-scene killer. Crash of the Titans has some good replay value as well. If you've completed a level, you can always go back to unlock more goods such as concept art, skins and more. Crash of the Titans is available for the Wii, Xbox 360, Sony PSP, Nintendo DS, Gameboy Advance and Playstation 2. Check out more on Crash of the Titans at CrashBandicoot.com.
