Crash is back in the driver's seat with a next-gen update of his popular Karting franchise. Does this intergalactic speedway burn rubber, or get stuck in the pit? Read Review
Crash Bandicoot takes a break from his usual platforming adventures for some fast-paced kart racing in Crash Nitro Kart for PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube. Race with nearly every character from the Crash universe in over 17 different tracks spanning 4 unique worlds. Race against the computer or with up to four total players in tracks that range from futuristic cities, volcanoes, space stations, to jungles and more. Battle arenas offer wide-open environments where players can hunt each other down, while Arena Editor mode adds the option of customizing battle environments. Race in transforming karts equipped with mines, missiles, tornado attacks and more.

Now you can make that two, as Crash Nitro Kart picks up where Crash Team Racing left off, though it's not as successful. Read More »
When I walked into the palatial Paramour -- a mansion atop a hill in Los Angeles where Vivendi Universal was holding their PRE3 2003 event -- I didn't know that I'd be walking out with tons of games to talk about now.

We'll be taking more in-depth looks at Metal Arms and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel next week since we were able to get more hands-on time with them and they deserve the attention, but for now console yourself with some handy impressions of a smattering of Vivendi's console lineup. We've got something for everyone here. Read More »
